So I just got done watching “SportsCenter” and they were having a Tiger Woods party. Today it came out that he would make a statement on Friday. I get it, that is big news, but do we really need a 10 minute recap of Tiger’s mess? We know what happened, we know what is going on. I watch “SportsCenter” to find out who won what, get stats and get trade rumor analysis. A mention of Tiger’s Friday statement would have been fine.
I can guarantee you that all day Friday ESPN will have a constant stream of information recapping what Tiger said, what he didn’t say, why he said what he said, etc. It will be nauseating. ESPN has turned into TMZ when it comes to this and it is sickening. Give me highlights of games, stats, trade rumors and recaps – don’t give me a 10 minute story on Tiger Woods when there is nothing new to report on.
I can appreicate your point of view when it comes to watching some sort of “news”. A lot of the time they are repeating the same things or what they classify as news is not of interest to the public. I actually found a story on the Tiger Woods interview today. The blogger said the main point of his speech was the word, “sorry.” Although I am not a religious SportsCenter advocate when I do watch it I generally enjoy what they have to report. Its a shame that scandal is taking over.

You were right, it was a Tiger party! Also on CNN, MSNBC, and every other channel on creation. 5/5.
