New logo is so bad they are now trying to hide it. Punch anyone in the face who wears that ****.

Nothing solidifies an argument quite like a 4 year old post on Bleacher Report by Zack Pumerantz.
The supposed King of basketball may haven't won a ring yet, but he certainly has garnered a champion's level of media attention.
A two-time MVP and the face of the league, LeBron James will forever be dissected by the sports world for his controversial moves and remarkable prowess.
Finally he gets a shot at playing cameraman.
CASE CLOSED!!
The ancient Mayans played a game called "pitz" where the losing team was sacrificed to their gods- probably a Mesoamerican version of Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith.
On Sunday night, during the epic Game 7, 95% of America will be watching Game of Thrones, playing on Snapchat, or Netflix-and-chilling.
During major sporting events 30+ years ago, on the other hand, the only other two tv stations available would be showing a cheesy game show rerun, dead air, or an endless loop of the Nation Anthem.
Just because there are MORE media venues, doesn't mean the scrutiny is dialed up. Game 7 may not even be the highest rated program of the night, to be honest.

To be fair, Game of Thrones is going to be the bear's tits this week.
Jon Snow's parentage is the most scrutinized in the history of entertainment.
Archie Bunker disagrees.
-Saying today's crazy *** media saturation, 24hr news cycle, & available technology doesn't have any effect on the level of scrutiny high profile people face on a daily (or hourly) basis is so idiotic I'm not even gonna respond.
Go run a hunnit.

Typical CoolCat modern day bias.

Clearly you forget the Luke Skywalker reveal back in the 80s.
Kids today also like Under Armour over Nike. And minor league soccer. And play a game called Baby where they coddle one of their buddies like a baby.
Yesterday >>> Today
Yesterday >>> Today
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Still can't believe you brought a kid into this crazy world we live in today.
BBdK -- were your sports takes this ****** back in the day, too??
That's one situation where modern day definitely trumps the past, imo.

I think you forget that the mystery of Jon Snow's mother has been around for 20 GD years now. Thank the God of Tits and Wine for HBO because GRRM sure as hell isn't finishing this ****.
You know, one could say that the divine mystery of the parentage of the protagonist of the New Testament has been heavily scrutinized for going on 2,000 years or so.
The best ever, don't ever question, you know better. But **** ain't always how it seems when it's sewed together.
I let that last line breathe, it take a second to get it.

Diego Maradona. Significantly more scrutinized than Lebron James. Scrutinized on a global level, was a phenom from age 12. Started playing professionally at age 15. Was on the Argentina national team at age 16, and controversially left off the WC team at age 17 because the coach said he was too young. Then played in 4 world cups, as well as professionally in Spain and Italy. Highly controversial.
The best of today are better than the best of the old days, in EVERYTHING. Every. Single. Sport.
I believe that with all of my heart, b/c it's true. I know it hurts a lot of your great-granddad's (and 73's) feelings, and that's good.

Boston. Those people are nuts. And racist.
Forgot all about Diego Maradona.
Good point. LeBron has had to put up with some national scrutiny but he has been coddled locally.
Yeah, the Cleveland media and fans have been nothing but sunshine and blowjobs for LeBron, especially when he left for Miami.
But that was anger. When he has played there it has been sunshine and blowjobs.
