It's a comparison of passing stats across two different sports. TDs are not possible in basketball, yet they have a stat for it on screen. Generally, a massive waste of time and effort for viewers and content creators.
yeah it really is pathetic

their effort to hone in on the under 21 market by being "hip" is hilarious to watch. It really is too bad there are no other viable options out there.

I saw one this morning showing RG3's QBR with the lead since 2012. It was a line graph with it literally pointing straight down. AKA, no need for a graph showing us useless information.

ESPN is the king of pointing our arbitrary stats that don't provoke any sort of thought or analysis.
I hate ESPN

but I saw that yesterday and they seemed to be doing that in jest. It wasn't serious. At least that's how I took it and they seemed to be laughing when they displayed it.

Haha.. I knew someone would point that out, almost disclaimed it in the original post - that is not my picture, it is the picture from the article I grabbed this from.

1 - Buffalo Wild Wings is disgusting (how can you have that name and produce awful overpriced chicken wings?).
2 - I wouldn't display FF victories like that, ever.
3 - Sarah's are usually whores, wouldn't share my home with a Sarah ever.
Sarahs are whores?

Don't let Abraham hear you say that.
Sarah's are usually whores??

Que Sarah, Sarah

Sorry, I forgot to include the ";)" to point out this was a ridiculous throw-away comment.

This is why I have hated ESPN for 20 years. I didn't have cable growing up. It wasn't until I was in college that I was exposed to ESPN. At first it was great...because I only saw it on a TV in a bar, with no volume. The highlights and scores were all I needed at that point.

Then, I moved off campus and we had cable. The first time I heard Berman do his "Back, back, back..." I figured no big deal. Then I heard it over and over and seemingly every fucking athlete was given an annoying nickname and the "He...could...go..." 20 times a broadcast. sorry, but I just didn't care for him or this "sports" station that always seemed to be trying to be Comedy Central with sports.
it was done in jest

because this highlight reel of the Cavs's "TD" passes in the game against Charlotte was making the rounds. Kevin Love is an INCREDIBLE outlet passer.

Everything they do is in jest. They have thought they were comedians on Sports Center and other programming for decades.
