Comments on: ESPN Continues to Try Too Hard http://sportsmediajournal.com/2009/04/03/espn-continues-to-try-too-hard/ Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:24:32 +0000 hourly 1 By: John http://sportsmediajournal.com/2009/04/03/espn-continues-to-try-too-hard/comment-page-1/#comment-1987 John Fri, 10 Apr 2009 01:33:06 +0000 http://sportsmediajournal.com/?p=911#comment-1987 All day today the ESPN web site was covered with Masters coverage and ESPN news each half hour led off with 6 minutes of Master's Day 1 coverage. That's overkill on a normal day but on the day after a 22 year old major leaguer is killed that's downright terrible. CNN.com had the story of Nick Adenhart on their front page all day but all the world wide leader could do was post a link on the right side of their headlines frame and ESPN news didn't mention the story until minute #7. I understand why they cover heavy the games their broadcasting but on a day like today let's lead with the story everyone in the country, sports related or not, is talking about.
