Whose Ego Is Driving The Ship?

Everytime I think I have had enough of EsPN, I realize there are no other viable options for national sports coverage, so I tune back in.  But after about 5 minutes I'm done...again.  The latest hot button topic in athletics revolves around college conference realignment.  We went through this last year and you would have thought armageddon was upon us.   But at the final hour the Big 12 stayed a conference and everything was fine.  EsPN didn't ring their hands and take either Colorado or Nebraska to task for their decisions.  Then the Mickey Mouse of sports coverage aligned themselves with the University of Texas by investing 300 million dollars in the Longhorn Network.  Now, first let me say how ridiculous it is that in a sport where human polls affect who can play for the national championship, no network with as much influence as EsPN should have a deal with any one school.  The conflict of interest reeks and it is now affecting the current coverage of realignment.  All I keep hearing is how big of a mistake Texas A&M is making and how they are letting their ego push their decision making.  Really?  Ego is leading A&M to potentially move to the SEC?  Not the fact they will make alot more money and in turn no way assist their most hated rival make more money than any other school in their conference.  Personally, I don't see what A&M is doing as ego driven, but pride driven.  You can only be slapped in the back of the head by a sibling so often before you hit back.  Texas, along with EsPN, has finally gone too far, especially considering the ego coming out of Austin.  The AD at Texas has even said, "We're the Jonses" in reference to who everyone else has to keep up with.  So let's take a step back up there in Bristol and excuse ourselves from opinion pieces on this story and just stick with facts.  You are the catalyst for the latest realignment talk so please stop bashing those looking for a better deal.  Your hypocrisy is more than obvious.

Not doing so well with the picks as we've lost 4 in a row to fall to 18-14.  Back to winning today though as we're going with the Marlins in Colorado at +130.  Kevin Millwood is on the mound for the Rockies, and while his line wasn't terrible in his start at Cincinnati, his pitches weren't great.  Look for alot of runs scored but Florida to score more.  Good luck, and remember, never bet what you can't afford to lose.
