ESPN Makes Fun Of Their Own Favre Coverage In New SC Commercial

Monday, August 24, 2009

You almost have to feel bad for ESPN, when it comes the "Summer of Favre 2", but at least they have a sense of humor about it. In their latest "This Is Sports Center" ad the network pokes fun at their own coverage. According to Sports Business Daily, Senior Dir/Marketing Seth Adler said, "while the concept for the ad was developed several months ago, it was not filmed until last Tuesday, the same day Favre signed with the Vikings."

ESPN has already started their coverage of the Monday night Vikings-Packers game. Pregame can be seen over on ESPN8 with Boomer and the rest of the Monday Night Countdown crew.

Why do we need updates on every Sportscenter commercial?

So ESPN blew the Favre thing out of proportion to the point everyone was angry at them...and then ESPN acts like it was 'forced' to cover the story when they were the ones who created it.

And I'm supposed to feel sorry for them?

Notice how the number of comments on this site are dwindling?
