...and there's a reason why I watch Fox Sports Network (Detroit market) more than ESPN. D: Besides, any time there is a Detroit game on ESPN (or any other nationally-broadcast station), I get the distinct feeling that none of the commentators even know who is on the field and pull the analysis out of thin air.
I dunno if it's trying to get ratings so much as it's an issue of desperately needing news. This is the problem with the 24-hour cable news networks, too; they have to find something to say (they can't just go, "Well, guys, nothing interesting happened today--sorry"), so they blow things way out of proportion. Everything has to be a crisis, or else they're left with dead air and even more time to kill.
