Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Thanks to a link from SI.com's Richard Deitsch (see Richard, I can spell!), you can read his reflections on March Media Madness. Hit page two to find his thoughs on, amongst other things, ESPN v Geno and Studs and Duds of the women's coverage. A dud:
• ESPN promotes the women's tournament like a major property, which I appreciate as a fan of the sport. But if the network wants viewers and critics to treat it like a major property, ESPN needs to cover the tournament the way CBS covers the men. That means showing viewers (no matter the region) close finishes.
