March 2, 201214 yr So I'm a big fan of Twitter and use it just pretty much everyday and sometimes pretty frequently. But I will be honest, all of that last night kind of got on my nerves. I can't imagine how my dad or grandpa felt about all of it. I really don't think all that is needed and takes away from the game. The game was out of hand, so it didn't matter as much, but had that been closer, I think it would have really gotten on my nerves. Thoughts?
March 2, 201214 yr Barely even noticed it....That's the way the media is going now days. No issues with it at all.
March 2, 201214 yr Author Barely even noticed it....That's the way the media is going now days. No issues with it at all. Just all the stuff with Jay Bilas' Jeezy quotes, telling people what each person's Twitter handle was when they were shooting free throws, talking about how many followers people had, and etc. Got annoying I thought, and I felt like would have gotten on people's nerves, especially an older generation. If I was watching at a bar, I'm sure I wouldn't have really noticed.
March 2, 201214 yr I think they knew it was going to get ugly so they had to come up with something to kill some time. It worked...didn't bother me either.
March 2, 201214 yr Author MJ, you're becoming a grumpy old man. Haha I guess I am. When it comes to that Cats, that probably is true. I don't really like socializing or anything when they play either.
March 2, 201214 yr If I was watching at a bar, I'm sure I wouldn't have really noticed. I fit into this category. :thumb:
March 2, 201214 yr I didn't mind it but it did seem like they went a bit overboard with it. My thoughts as well.
March 2, 201214 yr If it was a closer game, they probably wouldn't have played with it so much. They had to something to keep the broadcast somewhat entertaining. The larger the lead, the more twitter info.
March 2, 201214 yr ESPN is becoming hard to watch... No one's making you. Their numbers are higher than they've ever been so clearly it isn't THAT hard to watch...

Agreed, plus I like Reese Davis and Bilas but all they were doing was giving shots at each other and joking around the entire time. It just seemed like a really unprofessional approach to the game. I understand that they're trying to make fans feel more involved but really I just want to watch the game.
