The love shown towards Brett Favre - for example, the question of asking "Is he the best ever"? (Objectively, there's no way you can rank him in the top 10 with all of his game-costing interceptions amongst other things), or the Rockies-Padres games as one of the best playoff games ever, et cetera. Don't even get me started on the Patriots going undefeated talk they do every week. The team is 4 - 0 after playing three teams that would be 1 - 2 had they not played them. ESPN jumps on every bandwagon possible, and it's the most frustrating thing to watch. It's impossible for the network to do ANYTHING with any semblance of objectivity. That's what I hate the most.
