Eat it, ESPN! - yvonne - 04-19-2012
The LA Times reports that the Colts have told Andrew that he will be the No. 1 pick. Manufactured suspense thwarted.

Indirect commentary on the Voldemort Trophy, I guess. Maybe it's just cause the voters didn't like him throwing to the backside Venus on spider 3 Y banana with a five-step hitch. The Colts think differently.

Mostly, but they were also trying to drum up a little "Maybe RGIII will go first suspense," too.

SCREW ESPN!!!
Yesterday their national radio guy (Cowherd) accused the NFL of trying to give Luck the easier schedule than RG3. He thinks the NFL is trying to write a story line for fans to emotionally bond with Luck by helping him win early, while doing RG3 "no favors". It's like they are already railing against Luck's possible success, even though he is walking into pretty much a disaster. And besides, the NFL schedule is determined by a formula. I don't get why ESPN is so anti-Luck. It is obviously personal, and goes way beyond their typical anti-Pac 10 bias.
I think 6-10 would be a miracle in Indy given what they did last year and who they've lost... in baseball terms, that would be a WAR of 5 probably if he went 6-10. If RG3 goes 7-9, you know why will get the ROY nod, even though that would be a WAR of 1 or 2 at best.Â

Let me just stop you right there. Colin Cowherd is either an idiot, a troll, or both. He's had a long record of saying dumb things (and, not relevant to this discussion, racially stupid things). Don't pay attention to him and your life will be measurably better. Like all trolls, he just wants you to pay attention to him. Don't give him that satisfaction.

ESPN seems to hire a lot of people (for their on-air positions) who fit that description.

Ain't that the truth. If this link takes you to the video segment with Skip Bayless, you'll have further proof:

Skip Bayless. Is. An. Idiot.
