ESPN Baseball Legend Peter Gammons Takes Swipe At Ted Cruz
Twitter ^ | 10/18/2013

Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo 19m How great is this week when the two teams down 3-2 are pitching Kershaw Scherzer, Ryu, Verlander? Not even Ted Cruz can mess these moments

Geeze Peter...can't leave politics out of baseball? Gotta just get a dig in there for your Disney overlords? I loathe what ESPN has become. Just one giant PC factory and love fest for Obama and his cult.

Probably why I watch less pro sports today. I don’t even know all the MLB teams anymore. Getting sick of football too.
Politics infects all of it.

here’s a guy that was probably mercilessly teased in high school, and now he thinks he’s a big wheel because he can remember some baseball statistics. I mean really, is there really any talent to what these non-player analysts really do?

havn't watched a single playoff game and won't be....I like sports but I get so tired of the constant silly shallow chatter....

my hubby is a Seahawk fan.....but he only watched about 10" of the game tonite because he was cutting up his deer.....you see, I like men who actually Do something rather than watch something...

I know what you mean. When I moved to Asia, I worried about missing American sports. But not anymore, when I read such headlines: ‘NFL Kicker Punts for Gay Rights,’ ‘NFL Goes Pink;’ and ‘Obama Invites NBA Boston Celtics to LGBT Fundraiser.’

Recognize that all sportswriters are products of the same culture and atmosphere as the other reporters in the newsroom. Just because they happen to work in the "Toy Department" doesn't excuse them.

In most cases, Liberalism was a condition of being hired.

It is also a point of fact that, like their cohorts in the newsroom, baseball writers have no clue as to the game they're writing about. Serious baseball fans understand the game better than they do -- even though the writers are in the park, watching and writing, every night (Gammons, though, is the rare exception to this rule).

Gammon’s an idiot who still hasn’t dicovered that there are 25 other teams outside the American League East.

Sportswriters (there’s no such thing as sports reporters, since they all write what they’re told to) are writers that are too dumb to be regular reporters.

And buddy, THAT’S DUMB!

Legend? Get the hell over yourself, sports boy. What a sewer this country has become with its idol worship.

All sporting events that I do watch, when I have time and inclination, I watch muted. Agitates the Mrs. but I refuse to listen to the morons.

The sports media is so tanked and so blindly PC (idiot athlete does xxx every night, abuse, kicked off team, etc.)

Then they get fat Libs like Bob Ley to throw the eternal blanket of “forgiveness” on his “Outside the Lines” show that constantly blames society for the ills of the rich athletes who squander fame and fortune...NEVER the LIBERALISM THAT GOT THEM THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND KEEPS THEM THERE.
