It seems that ESPN was not prepared for Brett Favre's early announcement for his retirement. They must have had a ton of material for Sports Center lined up about whether or not he will retire that they are not able to use. Well that is what we thought. Sports Center led of with a story about Brett unretiring. It seems an LA Times reporter decided to write (ie. make up) a little story about Brett's agent contacting teams and of course since it has been 16 days since ESPN talked about Favre and they needed something.
Now, I do like ESPN. But they seem to run with any rumor to try and get ratings. I am guessing within a year it will be ESPN SportsCenter sponsored by TMZ. They seem more interested in reporting about Matt Leinhart hanging out and partying with hot chicks than the actual games.
Just for future reference, ESPN will be leading off all of its Sports Center broadcasts with Barry Bonds, Brett Favre, Jose Canseco, Roger Clemens, Brian McNamee and Jessica Simpson. All who are not currently playing any professional sports. Hey thanks ESPN.
