just went to check what time the games are on today and this is their home page. Is this a joke? or are they trolling us? The cherry on top is that the article is written by Mel Kiper Jr.

So he wrote an article about the draft and put himself in the headline and referred to himself in the 3rd person like he is as much a part of the draft as the actual players.

Usually the writers don't write the headlines.

you would think but Kiper has been there so long he may have some control and wouldve saw how much shite he was getting online

After how he reacted yesterday there's no way he wouldn't tell whatever intern/editor he has exactly how to word the headline when it got posted to the ESPN home page

He’s a narcissistic arsehole. He just blatantly makes ridiculous claims. He’s promised to quit if his claims don’t come true and this dumbarse is still around and still has a platform. They need to take him out to the pasture because he is useless.

This is the company that rehired Olbermann twice, long after it became clear he needed medical supervision. Kiper's going nowhere

People seem to forget that ESPN is owned by Disney and is 100% woke. Why in the world wouldn’t they play up the angle that the NFL is racist and the poor black man is suppressed

What does this have to do with woke? This is 100% Kiper trying to cope and blame others for his prediction being so far off base from reality.

Theyve laid off so many off-air people that half the time their score pages dont even work.

You cant even hardly use ESPN for college baseball scores anymore or stats. Have to go to d1baseball

Sounds like he’s doing a good job for them lol. These niche positions aren’t really talked about and he has everybody up in arms right now based on threads like this and site clicks.

And fyi, I got tired of the slob fest also.

frick kendrick Perkins. Imagine working your whole life to be a great and going to college to be a broadcast journalist like Rece Davis and grinding your way up.

Now imagine you went to school and worked hard and that was your goal to have that career track only for ESPN to hire a guy like Kendrick Perkins who cant even talk and when he does say something its almost incomprehensible

Yep, it’s ridiculous and yet…..look who we’ve all been talking about for the past day?

This is why your Bayless’s, your Stephen A.s, your Mels, etc. are kept around.

Controversies, outrage, drama, provocative “takes”….sells.

Do you not understand any old white dude in media must take this stance on shedeur? Emphatically. It's how you remain employed.

Cowherd, Bayless nor Kiper believe their own bullshite. Nor should you.

I grew up loving Mel Kiper Jr. Now, I see him for what he is. A fricking cocksucker.
