2 days ago after the reported Rubio causing a stur with his comments after a game and on ESPN they had a poll that 70% percent of people thought Rubio wasnt coming to the NBA this season.
Ive had it with the media and the Wolves and the poll results isnt really the medias fault but there the ones putting the poll out there when theres clearly 1 correct answer and casual fans who dont know whats going on voted on the anti-wolves side.
Well today was even worse they had a "name that jefferson" segment and I thought it was funny Thomas, then Richard Jefferson but then they bring up Al Jefferson in a Wolves jersey and the guy couldnt name who it was and the ESPN analyst says ya thats Al Jefferson most people dont know who he is doesnt get much publicity playing for the Wolves.
Since when has Al Jefferson played for us? Im tired of the media mostly ESPN reporting things they dont even know. Its your job to correctly inform people on sports its not that hard when most of the canis community could correctly report sports better.
JW if anyone else has seen this join the rant!

I saw this too!
I was so confused that there haven’t been any pictures of Al Jefferson in the last year. Just dumb media BS.
and Wilbon this week
just went off on how Rubio sucks. like he just woke up that day, found out he was going to talk about Rubio that day, looked at his stats this year, and made his decision. he sounded like an idiot.
Where to begin
There are so, so many things wrong with ESPN. They are fueling the turn to more in-depth and informative sports bloggers (if you choose with care, like here at CH). Reasons for their deficiencies include the 24/7 news cycle (which eliminates pace, time to reflect and re-inforces mindless repetition of sensational headlines and memes, without regard to their veracity). It also demands that their talking heads (Wilbon) seem to be experts on everything. They are not allowed to say they just don’t know or don’t have an opinion. That’s foolishness. Wilbon is the height of that. And ESPn exhibits to an amazing degree the flaw that all sports writers/reporters have: namely whatever figure of substance that is willing to talk with them becomes a “good guy”. I can’t stand one talking head going on ad nauseum with other talking heads. This is entertainment?
One simple way to correct this.
Win enough games to be relevant.
So you're saying Utah should win enough games to be relevant? Noted.
After all, that’s how our erstwhile Humble Rumble, Al Jefferson, would get noticed on his current roster.
I
wish ESPN would hire someone from Canis hoopus just think of our ideas becoming more public on ESPN like how about instead of just the Heat Index for all things Miami Heat have one for every NBA team with people who actually follow the teams and now current roster situations and draft plans
