[QUOTE="Papa Doc, post: 119324, member: 1712"] Boomer I agree with you wholeheartedly; however, logical, well-stated arguments don't hold water in our culture which is fraught with unshakable beliefs grounded in personal perspectives seeking to be affirmed. Marketing dollars persuade us more than logic or data, even in the sports world. As long as the four letter network invests billions in what they know most consumers want to believe, and will ultimately buy, nothing will change. Thought, assessment, and observation of the obvious is far too much work and mental challenge for the majority of remote control button pushers that burp, sigh, and say, "heck, if Finebaum says it, it must be be true; roll Tide!" ESPN learned a great deal from the decades of success of others such as the EIB network and adapted the model of repetitious, pontificators of self-proclaimed truths feeding eager consumers feasting on the fatted calfs offered to them for little or no effort.
