How ESPN Ruined the Internet

How ESPN Ruined the Internet
As a paid writer on the information super-highway, I feel a certain obligation to report only factual and accurate news and stories to you, the burdened proletariat. Apparently, however, ESPN.com and their Overlord of Lies, Mark Schlabach, feel no such responsibility for journalistic integrity. Recently, in an article about college football that distinguished the “hot” from the “not,” (real original, Darth Schlabach) the following was published under “Hot”:

BCS. Whether Michigan fans want to admit it or not, the BCS got it right in 2006. Just ask Ohio State.”

I’m sorry, I didn’t know the internet was a forum for cheap shots and unverified fact. Perhaps if Commissar Schlabach had taken time to ask me, the self-proclaimed voice of Ohio State, he would know that we in Columbus feel the BCS got it wrong and Boise State (the only undefeated team in the nation) actually won the national championship.

Imagine an internet where people can just post whatever the hell they want, with total disregard for accuracy, or an internet where so-called “journalists” lower themselves to the standards of me when I’m drunk by taking cheap shots at entire universities/establishments. Imagine that internet, kids, and then thank Mark Schlabach for it.
