We must boycott ESPN!
They are showing a live broadcast of the Pat Tillman memorial funeral ceremony!
This is clearly an attempt by the liberal media to undermine the war effort!
Remember Disney owns both ESPN -- and ABC which airs the un-American 'Nightline' program.
The American kill-in-action are to be cannon fodder and never seen again (except in Bush campaign ads).
USA!

1. You had me going for a second there |

Hopefully this tribute will resonate with the "NASCAR Dads" and freepers.

5. I was just going to post something like this |
|
I can't believe tillman is getting all this press. IF he wasn't a former football player he never would be getting all this attention, and I love sports so there's no bias here.
I think Tillman was admirable for fighting but with 700+ troops who died in Iraq, why aren't there services shown like this? They deserve it just as much.

7. I used to produce a radio "Sports Talk" show... |
|
...and the one thing that the jockcasters loved more than anything else, was when a sports story became "legitimate" news (or vice-versa) These guys on ESPN are just trying to bring some much needed gravitas to the usual scores and cliches...no big deal, and certainly not any sort of party line thing.
