New Orleans columnist criticizes ESPN's coverage.
No, it's not perfect. Rece, Stacey, and Nell still make some missteps. So do Mike and Ann. Yeah, the tarot card lead-in was stupid as hell. And I wish they wouldn't repeat the same segments at half that they already did in pregame.
(Also -- how many times do we have to see that Harley-dinette set ad? Hilarious ad, but only for the first 100 viewings.)
Overall, however, I think ESPN is doing a good job. We should keep in mind that they're still fairly new to this... and they're still improving. My grade: B+.
