There is no way enough people will go to TMZSports.com instead of ESPN.com to make any difference at all. TMZ is a fad that will be popular for some time and fade away. ESPN is a different animal. They control almost all things sports, and the few things they don't control are coming up for bid in the very near future. My guess is we will see the NCAA Tournament on ESPN next time it comes up. That may make the tournament coverage a lot better due to the amount of channels that ESPN has at its dispense.
Aaron, which do you think more people are interested in, A) what Doug Gottlieb thinks about the chemistry of the OU basketball team, or B) What the OU players REALLY think about Capel locking them out of the locker room?
Very few people care what some "analyst" thinks They care what the actual players/coaches think. How many care what a critic thinks of a move star vs what a movie star had for dinner. Audience B is much larger and it's not close.
