caldwell-15380277#.TxXcL6VSSWg
The Indianapolis Colts' sudden crash has cost coach Jim Caldwell
his job. The team fired Caldwell on Tuesday, the second major
decision in what is expected to be a long offseason shake-up.
Team owner Jim Irsay fired team vice chairman Bill Polian and
his son, Chris, the team's general manager, the day after the
season ended.
It took a little longer for the decision on Caldwell, who had
just finished his third and worst season as head coach of the
Colts, who stumbled to a 2-14 finish without injured quarterback
Peyton Manning. Caldwell ends his Colts' tenure 26-22 overall.
Caldwell won his first 14 games, an NFL record for a rookie head
coach, and became only the fifth first-year coach to take his
team to the Super Bowl.
But with fans complaining about game management and clamoring
for a change since midseason, Irsay didn't have much choice.
With Manning, the Colts won a league-record 115 regular-season
games over the previous decade, tying the league mark for most
consecutive playoff appearances (nine), winning two AFC titles
and one Super Bowl trophy, the Colts lost their first 13 games
in 2011, then won twice in five days and nearly lost the No. 1
draft pick, too.
Without Manning, Indy started 0-8 and was the heavy favorite to
win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes at midseason. Caldwell's team
lost the next five games, too, before finally winning two
straight to avoid becoming the second 0-16 team in league
history.
A season-ending loss at Jacksonville, officially gave the Colts
the top pick, which is expected to be used on Luck.
Players never gave up on Caldwell and many cited their
preference to keep playing for him next season. Manning was one
of Caldwell's supporters, calling the coach that helped him win
a record-setting four MVP Awards a "friend."
But the disastrous 2011 season was too much for Caldwell to
overcome after winning AFC South titles in each of his first two
seasons in Indy.
After overhauling the front office, Irsay last week hired 39-
year-old Ryan Grigson as his new general manager, then wanted to
wait until Grigson had time to evaluate Caldwell's performance.
The decision came Tuesday, setting off the second major search
of the month.

I think keeping Ben healthy is going to take a combination of better
o-line, better OC and Ben finally learning to throw the ball away
occasionally.

=93Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve!=94
It=92s Dec. 19, 90 minutes before kickoff at Candlestick Park, and the
69,732 fans pouring into the best Monday Night Football match of 2011
want to see a spectacle. Football is American religion, and for the
few lucky enough to attend a game, it is a chance to see gods in
action and miracles performed. A dozen San Francisco 49ers are
rehearsing their explosive movements on the grass, elephantine and
precise, a sight that is astonishing to see. Fans are massing just
above field level and screaming.
But not for the athletes. They=92re hollering=97=93Steeeeeeeeeeeve!=94=97fo=
r the
talent of ESPN. The cable-sports juggernaut has built a satellite set
for its Monday Night Countdown pregame show off the 20-yard line, and
nearby, four of its highly recognizable stars=97Steve Young, Jerry Rice,
Trent Dilfer, and Stuart Scott=97are tossing a football before airtime.
Young and Rice, both retired Hall of Fame 49ers, are local heroes;
when Young, in cakey TV makeup, arcs a tight spiral to Rice, the Niner
faithful go ape like it=92s for real. =93There=92s more fans here than in
the stands,=94 murmurs a photographer.
The glitz and production values here are extreme, with 270 ESPN
staffers on hand to choreograph some 35 camera angles=97more than the
typical Super Bowl had not so very long ago. =93Our intensity and
urgency in covering sports is just better than anyone else,=94 Scott
tells a reporter over the din of the crowd. Monday Night Football is
the most venerable franchise in sports television, and for the right
to broadcast just 17 games, ESPN recently re-upped its contract with
the National Football League, increasing payments by 70 percent, to
$1.9 billion per season, through 2021. Tonight=92s Steelers-49ers
matchup will dominate the ratings as the most-watched show on cable
all week, with 16.7 million tuning in.
To borrow one of its advertising taglines, this is ESPN: a network as
big as the leagues it covers. As a business, ESPN thrives because it
is playing a different game than the big public-airwaves networks. NBC
and CBS make money from advertising. ESPN does, too, but it takes in
even more from cable-subscriber fees=97an average of $4.69 per household
per month, according to research firm SNL Kagan. Last February, ESPN
entered its 100 millionth American home. By comparison, the next
costliest national network, TNT, takes in just $1.16 from about as
many homes. If this were Pop Warner, the refs would have called the
mercy rule by now.
A new president, John Skipper, took over the network on Jan. 1.
Promoted from within, he is expected to chart a steady course=97but it
won=92t be easy. When one team is running up the score, resentment is
inevitable, and in 2012 ESPN finds itself the object of criticism on a
variety of fronts. Uniting them all is a sense that =93The Worldwide
Leader,=94 as its slogan goes, has gotten too big for its own good. By
driving up the price of sports-rights packages and passing along the
cost to consumers, ESPN helps send monthly cable bills through the
roof. And in order to maintain favorable access to athletes, teams,
and entire leagues, it is widely accused of downplaying stories that
cast sports in a negative light. Live games may lead fans to watch
ESPN more and more, but they=92re seeing less and less of the network
they fell in love with.
To find ESPN=92s headquarters in Bristol, Conn., you drive through a lot
of unremarkable countryside and stop when you get to the 18-building,
116-acre supercampus with 27 satellites yawning into space. Now almost
a city unto itself, this version of ESPN is far removed from the
company=92s founding here, in 1979, by a former play-by-play man for the
New England Whalers hockey team. At the time, Bristol seemed a good,
cheap place to base a venture that could grow.
Early on, ESPN thrived on its outsider status, ignoring scoffs that
there wasn=92t enough material to sustain 24 hours a day of programming.
SportsCenter was its first breakout hit. While local broadcast
affiliates relegated sports to a few minutes at the tail end of the 11
o=92clock news, SportsCenter anchors broke word of trades, injuries, and
free-agent signings; flooded the zone on sensational stories like the
O.J. Simpson murder case; probed seamier topics like steroid abuse;
and delivered game highlights with a wit and literacy previously
unknown in sportscasting. In 1999, Aaron Sorkin called SportsCenter
=93the best-written show on television.=94
The show=92s anchors, including Keith Olbermann and Chris Berman,
quickly became celebrities in their own right. And when, in 1987, the
farsighted NFL decided to move some of its games onto the new medium,
ESPN won the bidding at $153 million. It was a lot of money for a
fledgling network, but they made it work by tacking a few pennies onto
the subscriber fees they had pioneered=97and never looked back. Powered
by the dual revenue stream of ads plus surcharges, ESPN has since
grown to include ESPN2, ESPN News, ESPN Classic, ESPNU, ESPN Deportes,
and 47 international channels; the largest sports-radio network in
America; a website that clocks 52 million unique visitors a month; and
its own $100 million theme park in Florida. =93They=92re on your
telephone, your laptop=97they want to be everywhere,=94 says Jim Miller,
coauthor of last year=92s mammoth oral history of the network, Those
Guys Have All the Fun. =93One of the reasons they created ESPN: The
Magazine was they wanted to go into the bathroom with you.=94
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/01/15/espn-is-bigger-than-ever-a=
nd-that-might-not-be-a-good-thing.html
(Page 2 of 4)
With revenue of $8.5 billion last year, ESPN has become the principal
cash spigot of the Walt Disney Co., the network=92s 80 percent parent.
To the largest entertainment corporation on earth, the backwater of
Bristol has become more important than Disney World and Disneyland
combined.
Skipper, who joined ESPN in 1997, has done his share. For the last six
years he has led the company=92s content division, where he doubled down
on acquiring live game broadcasts. In that period, domestic TV
audience rose 31 percent. ESPN declined to make Skipper available to
Newsweek, but in 2010, speaking to PaidContent.org, he expressed his
belief in, well: =93We believe in live. We believe in live. We just
think at this point with technology and people=92s expectations and the
ability to get instant information, we believe in live.=94
Live, of course, is expensive. During Skipper=92s tenure ESPN has inked
deals for $2.4 billion (baseball, 2005), $7.4 billion (basketball,
with TNT, 2007), $500 million (a basket of college sports, 2011), and
more, plus the Monday Night Football extension for $15.2 billion.
ESPN=92s costs are defrayed whenever it passes on surcharges to cable
operators. But as viewers begin to squawk over rising cable bills,
cable operators protest that the sports giant has gotten too pricey
and too coercive in its terms. Outspoken Liberty Media CEO Greg
Maffei, who oversees Starz and QVC, has called ESPN=92s fees =93a tax on
every American household=94=97the key word being =93every.=94 Because cable
channels are bundled into packages, tens of millions of people who
never watch sports end up paying for it anyway=97and paying a lot more
than they would for a package that didn=92t include sports channels,
ESPN the most expensive among them. Cable carriers who balk and
threaten to drop ESPN must also contemplate losing its corporate
brethren: the Disney Channel and ABC Family.
=93ESPN, through ... sheer muscle, has been able to say to us, =91You will
carry this service on the lowest level subscription you offer, and you
will make all of them pay for it,=92=94 says Matt Polka, CEO of the
American Cable Association, a trade group. =93My next-door neighbor is
74, a widow. She says to me, =91Why do I have to get all that sports
programming?=92 She has no idea that in the course of a year, for just
ESPN and ESPN2, she is sending a check to Disney for about $70. She
would be apoplectic if she knew ... Ultimately, there=92s going to be a
revolt over the cost. Or policymakers will get involved, because the
costs of these things are so out of line with cost of living that
someone=92s going to put up a stop sign.=94
ESPN is not nearly the only party driving up sports-programming costs.
Regional sports networks like Comcast SportsNet Washington command
monthly fees as high as $3.36. And the broadcast networks pursue
megadeals, too. The biggest jackpot yet came in December, when Fox,
CBS, and NBC combined to offer the NFL $27 billion for broadcast
rights through 2022. (Those channels are also pushing for
=93retransmission fees,=94 akin to cable=92s subscriber fees.) Each
eyepopper raises a new and louder chorus that sports has become too
expensive for basic cable and should be broken out into its own paid
tier.
=93It=92s astonishing. Astonishing. Every time [there is] a huge increase
we can=92t believe it, and then there=92s another huge increase,=94 says
Laura Martin, an analyst with investment bank Needham & Co. =93The
rapidly rising cost of sports, especially the new NFL contracts,
increases the likelihood that sports will be forced by the government
to be on a different tier within three years, by our estimates.=94
While government action rides in part on November=92s elections, a more
pressing concern to ESPN and cable operators is the risk, in a down
economy, that consumers will simply cut the cord. ESPN=92s executives
reject the idea that their product is expensive, noting that a
viewer=92s entire monthly cable bill might be less than the cost of
attending one game in person. And they definitely don=92t like the
notion of pick-and-choose plans that have been floated. =93We=92re the
best value, bar none, in town,=94 insists CFO Christine Driessen. =93At
the end of the day, with regard to =E0 la carte, the viewer will pay
more and get less.=94
Wouldn=92t it kind of make sense for fans to pay more, though=97to pay the
true costs of sports programming, so that nonfans don=92t have to chip
in? Driessen shook her head: =93This notion of trying to appropriately

(Page 3 of 4)
For a certain species of American male, no amount is too high to pay
for ESPN. While games are something of a commodity=97fans will follow
their teams to whichever channel airs them=97what made ESPN not just
watched but loved was its editorial integrity. There were scoops;
there were powerful interviews; and even when it was puckish, it was
smart. Chris Berman may have had a turban on his head when he made his
predictions as =93The Swami,=94 but his insights were dead-on.
=93Journalism, even with the rights fees, is how the company was built.
We built the company on the back of SportsCenter=97covering major
stories, being journalistically sound,=94 says Norby Williamson, who as
ESPN=92s chief of production oversees all game broadcasts, original
programming, and news gathering.
Today, there is often excellent journalism to be found in the ESPN
empire, from its E:60 and Outside the Lines programs=97perennial
contenders for Sports Emmy Awards=97to documentary fare like 30 for 30.
ESPN: The Magazine distinguishes itself with investigations, and
ESPN.com is a go-to destination for breaking news. This kind of
coverage is crucial to the network=92s reputation. No one expects, say,
the Food Network to report rigorously on Chez Panisse, but viewers do
expect ESPN to bring them the truth about the athletes and coaches in
whom they invest so much.
This is trickier than it sounds. ESPN has always kept an awkward
balance, somewhat unique in broadcasting, in that it covers sports
leagues journalistically at the same time it pays them billions of
dollars for the rights to broadcast their games. Similarly, ESPN
covers athletes as news figures at the same time it benefits from
their promotion.
This conflict of interest can result in gratingly off-key programming
choices=97and these days, there are more critics, particularly online,
crying foul. To many fans, the lowest point was The Decision, an
hourlong broadcast in July 2010 that capped months of feverish
speculation about which NBA team would sign superstar LeBron James.
Rather than report on his choice, Bristol offered James an
unprecedented deal: if he agreed to announce his choice live on ESPN,
the network would let him choose his own, non-ESPN, interviewer. James
would also get all of the program=92s advertising revenue, even as ESPN
paid all of the costs. (James gave the money to a charity.) Howls of
disgust came from all corners. =93The most troubling aspect of the whole
ill-conceived mess was ESPN=92s willingness to hand over an hour of
primetime television to an egomaniacal athlete the network should be
covering as a news story,=94 wrote The Washington Post=92s Leonard
Shapiro. =93Does this not-so-subtle form of checkbook journalism pass
the smell test anywhere else but in Bristol, Conn.?=94
Much graver is the outrage over ESPN=92s poor early coverage of the
biggest sports story of 2011, the Penn State sexual-abuse scandal. As
students rioted, ESPN had no cameras on the scene. When they did show
up, commentators seemed more concerned with the impact of the news on
recruiting and coach Joe Paterno=92s legacy than on the alleged crimes.
=93With the biggest staff of sports journalists in the world, ESPN
should have been leading the charge to ask tough questions and shed
light on this scandal,=94 wrote the network=92s ombudsmen, Jason Fry and
Kelly McBride, who investigated the coverage after widespread
complaints. =93The tone of the early ESPN coverage was spotty=97sometimes
getting it right, but more often seeming inappropriate.=94
The network eventually caught up=97commentator Jay Bilas distinguished
himself by calling the Penn State athletics program =93a conspiracy of
cowards=94 on SportsCenter. But the censure of ESPN mounted when a coach
at Syracuse was fired later the same month for similar allegations,
and ESPN revealed that for eight years it had sat on an incriminating
audiotape of a conversation between the coach=92s wife and his accuser.
The roiling sports blogosphere=97now home to the kind of outsider
authenticity seen in the early days of Bristol=97routinely takes ESPN to
task. A conspicuous example came in July 2009, when ESPN forbade its
reporters from covering an allegation of rape against Ben
Roethlisberger, the Super Bowl=96winning quarterback of the Pittsburgh
Steelers. In 2005, he had taped a tongue-in-cheek commercial for
SportsCenter, a rite of passage for many star athletes. The Wall
Street Journal, USA Today, and other outlets took notice of ESPN=92s
silence, and the network was forced to explain its policy of not
reporting on civil cases in the absence of criminal charges. Media
watchers were quick to point to numerous counterexamples.

=93We don=92t generally believe that the network is evil or corrupt or
otherwise nasty,=94 wrote Gregg Rosenthal at Pro Football Talk, a NBC
Sports blog. =93However, we do believe that the network is way too large
for its own good, and that ... it=92s up to everyone else to point out
those occasions when the emperor is riding both bareback and bare
assed.=94
ESPN=92s Outside the Lines would later air a tough segment on
Roethlisberger=92s troubles, with inside-the-locker-room reporting that
demonstrated that some corners of the ESPN kingdom are not beholden to
anyone.
None of this, of course, is mentioned on Dec. 19, as Roethlisberger=92s
Steelers prepare to take on the 49ers on Monday Night Football. Live
broadcasts hinge on successfully souping up drama. All day long in San
Francisco, the ESPN army had been prepping every conceivable (nonrape)
subplot. Was Roethlisberger returning too soon from an injury? Could
the 49ers=92 rush defense make it 15 straight games without yielding a
touchdown? What are the playoff seeding implications? The storylines
were briskly disseminated at ESPN=92s morning production meeting, which=97
with a nearly all-male crew of 40 in dress that ranges from shorts and
flip-flops to business casual=97is like the planning committee of a
really excellent fraternity.
If ESPN has taught us one thing about broadcasting sports, it=92s that
storylines matter: matchups are more riveting when there are heroes
and villains. Having played the underdog for the first half of its
corporate lifetime, ESPN has, to many, become the dynasty it feels
good to root against. Fans are watching=97and everyone is paying for it.
ESPN is the network we have to have.

He's better than Tebow will ever be. The only reason he's
sitting is because of the God marketing angle. At least Quinn
knowns how to be a quarterback and stays off his knees after he
does something right.
Tebow looks like an openmouthed faggot on the other side of a

The Shat's defense (if you want to call it that) isn't really any good.
Here's why they get turnovers and sacks. Other teams know the Shat's 'D'
sucks, so they tend to try to be heros/do too much against it and they
end up throwing dumb INTs or fumbling the ball to the Shat's, even a
blind pig can find a truffle. When teams play the Steelers, they know
the D's reputation, so they take super extra special care of the
football so that they don't turn it over to us. Next season, teams will
get careless again, and the Steelers D will again lead the league in
defensive vanity stats (turnovers, forced fumbles, sacks ect.). The
important thing is that they lead the league again in the stats that
matter most (total yds allowed, points allowed), like they did this
season. It makes my skin crawl when you compare the Shat's D to the
Steelers D, it's like comparing apples to oranges. Seriously.
-
They present a ton of challegnes in all three phases of the game. When you
watch them, like you watched them yesterday, they're physical, they're
tough, they can cover, they have some of the best players in the history of
the NFL at their possitions like [Terrell] Suggs, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Haloti
Ngata."

Their #1 priority should be to get Ben some protection so that it will be
less likely for him to become injured before playoff time. They also have to
dump some of their high-priced, aging defensive lineman & linebackers and
pick up a few of free-agent replacements who can put some pressure on the
opposing QB & cover receivers on short routes.

Brady prefers to get one of those from a don't ask-don't tell
shit-shoveling reserve-unit 'Major' who's in his 7th year on VA
tuition assistance at the local 2-year community college.
Just a-tad more exciting . . .

The game is over, Tom Brady speaks graciously and respectfully
of the team he just thrashed on national TV.
In the remaining moments of the game, long since decided, the
classless sandlot "quarterback" led Broncos attempt to start a
fight with the victors.
The officials stop the scrum, hand out dunce hats, and let the
game end on a positive note.

True story. Steelers were beat up but they could have blown out the
donkeys with effective coaching. Might have had their asses handed to
them in NE but you never know.
Bottom line: Steelers were out of playoff contention when they forced a
crippled Ben to play and lose in SF.

Amazing what a defense can do when half your starters aren't watching
the game from the sidelines. I'd say a bigger difference is the play
calling was more diverse than bubble screen/ throw 40 yards downfield.
Anyone else notice they didn't decide their TE was too tired to catch
passes after the first couple drives?

The game is over, Tom Brady speaks graciously and respectfully
of the team he just thrashed on national TV.
In the remaining moments of the game, long since decided, the
classless sandlot "quarterback" led Broncos attempt to start a
fight with the victors.
The officials stop the scrum, hand out dunce hats, and let the
game end on a positive note.
