    media screwed harden out of 2 mvps that they used the criteria both times to give the award to the more popular player

    If the media were fair and didnt do dumb **** like leave harden off all-nba in 2016, then most of clutchfans would have no issue with the media. We just dont trust them to do whats right when it comes to James Edward Harden.. which is sad.. its the only pro sport in america where whoever is more popular wins, even the shady nfl gives mvps to and all-pro selections to the right players

    I think it's more of the fact that, without these "hot takes" shows, there wouldn't be much to talk about on a day-to-day basis, or on a day where the Rockets didn't play previously, or even in the offseason.

    Also, if a random poster had the same thought as Kellerman / SAS / Skip and decides to make a thread about it, the thread will probably get a total of 3 posts (the OP and then two posters with "inb4 the lock").

    But if Kellerman / SAS / Skip brings it up and a thread is posted about that hot take, then all of a sudden, the thread gets 5 pages overnight.

    The majority of the forum would not have survived the Clutch City years.

    As I see it, the ONLY reason for you or anyone else to get their panties in a bunch over this is that deep down you believe this to be true. Unlike yourself and all of the other "nervous nellies" around here, I don't give a **** what the talking heads have to say because the ONLY thing that matters to me is the results on the court. I have yet to see anything they have to say block one shot or hit one basket or cost the Rockets one win so let them flap their gums all they want - it amounts to nothing but hot air.

    There are about 10 times too many people babbling about sports on TV/radio as there need to be. It's overkill. All just white noise to me.

    Too much information running through my brain
    Too much information driving me insane

    Overkill, overview
    Over my dead body
    Over me, over you
    Over everybody

    This is choice. Cowherd doesn't understand stats, and thinks because Harden got 115 points UNASSISTED to HIM that Harden didn't toss out assists TO OTHERS. And then goes on a rant BASED on this. Incredible. It is one thing to take a "debate position" and another to take it on "incorrect data."

    I don't really understand the poll. But my short answer to the thread question is Yes. I've always say that if you think the media are so dumb, why do you care so much what they say?

    Come on, now: CP is not the one who decides when he plays.

    As more years pass, it seems people care more about what people on TV say than their actual opinion

    We are now force fed opinions because we are lazy to have our own

    Hey brother, member of the pure fans,

    isn't the MEDIA the same entity that keeps disrespecting the Rockets championships? Never mentions Hakeem as one of the all time greats? Mentions Jordan, but forgets to mention he was there in 95?

    Now we have a new generation of fans who salivate when ESPN is on?
