ESPiN - you suck..you really do.  

And in honor of you sucking I give you two solid links.  First, check out this insightful article from Deadspin about the latest in the world of Michael Irvin:

No answer was given to the perfectly legitimate question a reader asked in the comments yesterday: The incident happened Friday. So, did Irvin neglect to mention it until he had to own up because someone else found out and told ESPN? Did he mention it immediately and ESPN buried it till Sunday afternoon, after NFL Countdown had aired? If he didn't mention it and ESPN found out thru other channels, shouldn't that be deemed fireable in itself? And if he did tell ESPN on Saturday when he arrived in Bristol, aren't they incredibly negligent in allowing him on the air without saying anything?

Secondly, I'd like to thank EveryDayShouldBeSaturday for giving us 52 reasons why ESPiN sux..

my favs:

1.  Synergy.  Promo the games you have the rights to while barely mentioning the big games on in other places, no matter how important they might be.  Push your product over THE GAME.  Vile corporate entertainment thinking that yields little but viewer disgust.

19. Making the story, not reporting it. Two words: Terrell Owens.

42. ESPN, the Magazine. Huge pages, fellatio-style coverage of the shittiest citizens of the athletic world, and very, very little content.
