Behind The Scenes At ESPN

May 17th, 2006 | by: Daryl |

This is a couple of weeks old, but definitely worth watching. It’s behind the scenes video at ESPN as Arena prepares to announce the roster.

What really stood out for me is what a condescending jackass Mike “I’ve spent a lot of time travelling” Greenburg is. Check out the way he slaps Arena on the back. That’s The Bruce you ignorant fool, show some respect! Click the image to see.

Aw, I didn’t think he was condescending. He was just acting like any American sports commentator who (like much of the rest of this strange little country of ours) doesn’t ultimately give a rat’s ass about the beautiful game.

That was a good video. Whats interesting was how large the ESPN studios were and to realize that soccer isnt even a part of it kinda sucks. Oh well.

jjburch – I thought the sports casters were their usual selves. Im not putting words in your mouth but they didnt seem disrespectful, just full of themselves as they normally are.

Greenie is always condescending (or seems to be); that’s just his natural, normal demeanor.

Of course, he’s also entertaining. Which is why he’s got a pretty good radio show with the Mike in the morning.

What really got me was the one guy who “gears up for the World Cup”, but today it was his “job to be a fan.”

That’s fine if he doesn’t really like soccer. I don’t have a problem with that. But, with an event as large and important as the World Cup, is it too much to ask that ESPN find someone whose passion is to be a fan?

I don’t know if he was condescending, but I doubt that he’d pat Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells, Phil Jackson or Joe Paterno on the back like that.
