To me the whole thing is that with the advent of ESPN and 24 hour sports and sports-dedicated channels the hosts/announcers/talking heads now consider themselves to be a part of the story and the entertainment. How else do you explain things like the ESPYs? Let's create a meaningless award so we can put ourselves on TV. Hey the sheep have lapped it up and the reporters have become the news. I have no use for any of them really.
