A lot of times I wait until I hear them sound off. But I'm not bull-shitting about the Giants / Patriots Superbowl. I really had to check to see if my wife had the Biography Channel on. I thought they were doing a documentary on Moss. They did the same thing in the big CBB game last year, I think it was Memphis vs Tennessee, with them going on about Calipari.

Re: The ESPN Factor in High Profile Games: Updated
You
should have heard ESPN radio around 1/2 hour before the early games
went off (11:30 am here). They were interviewing UTAH ST's coach. And
the guy didn't sound too thrilled . It sounded like he had an ordinary
team that just happens to win games by the skin of their teeth. The 2
broadcasters, in typical ESPN fashion, The ESPN Factor,
were
going on & on about this team. You should have heard them. They
were on Utah State big time. I knew right then & there that this
was fodder material.
Utah State, the 4-pt favorite & #17 team, goes down at the hands of Boise State. Matty O'Shea called the Boise State cover & outright victory.
*The coach sounded lackadaisical & "lucky" to be winning all their previous games. The broadcasters sounded too "high" on Utah State too.
The ESPN Factor in High Profile Games

In high profile games, when
they (ESPN) seems to spend an disproportionate amount of time
discussing anything about one of the teams, that team tanks. I
don't keeps stats on this but it's something I've noticed over the
years & keep in mind when I place my bet or make a last
minute wager.
They
are touting Memphis & Calipari like he's the 2nd coming of
Christ.
It's like this: the bookies
drive Caddys for a reason. I watch ESPN & when they blow the
horn, in favor of 1 team more than I feel is necessary, over the
other team, I know somethings up. I bet the other way.
Check this out=> SuperBowl:
They kept going on about the Patriots this, the Patriots
that. They ran a goddam special about Randy Moss. I
thought I had the Biography Channel on!
Lang is on Memphis; the
public's on Memphis, Espn's on Memphis.
I've written about this
several times now & it's panned out every time!
I may be wrong , but....I'm probably not.
*** They were noticeably quiet
last night before the Yankees Final Season Home Game vs The
Baltimore Orioles; they gave no opinion on the game Yankees win
easily. REVERSE ESPN FACTOR
*** They spend 45 minutes on
Favre before MNF NYJ vs SDC. The Chargers destroy the Jets

They go on about how the NYI's don't stand a chance on tonite's NHL
matchup at the NYR's. I took note of it & proceeded to place my
bets on the NYI's. They're up 2-0 in the 3rd.
