Um, it was NATIONAL news... That's how plenty of news outlets report "first games" played by teams following inclusion in national stories.

Were they supposed to pretend the accusation didn't happen? It'd be kinda hard being as they are smack dab in the middle of it.

People need to stop pretending ESPN as a whole is out to get us.

Seriously, what good would it do ESPN to take down, arguably, one of the 10 most profitable basketball teams they cover (profitable for them, that is)

Yes, Mark Schwartz did seem a little over zealous a first... I'd go as far to say as he seemed like he had an axe to grind in his initial report...

But, he toned it down exponentially in all subsequent reports and most of the other personalities at the net have been skeptical to this point. (Gottlieb, Cowherd, Mike & Mike, Van Pelt, Bilas, Vitale, etc...)

Stop getting pissed because ESPN didn't act like the accusations never happened in a simple headline.

BTW, here's the WASHINGTON POST Headline: [URL='http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/no-5-syracuse-romps-over-colgate-92-47-in-1st-game-after-abuse-allegations-hit-program/2011/11/19/gIQATo5fcN_story.html']No. 5 Syracuse romps over Colgate 92-47 in 1st game after abuse allegations[/URL]

And the Fox News Headline: [URL='http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2011/11/19/syracuse-wins-in-midst-fine-allegations/'][B]Syracuse[/B] wins in midst of Fine allegations[/URL]

Are the Washington Post and Fox News out to get us too?
