The link is to a Phil Mushnick column in the Post. He is the TV/sports opinion writer who comments
on the quality of broadcasts...praise or criticism. He is a bit of a scold....more than a bit really.

One of his frequent targets is ESPN coverage of games....showing us things we don't need to see and omitting stuff we would like to see. Scroll down a bit and he comments on the Stef clean block against Baylor. UConn and the Big Apple...our sports teams are in the mix down there.

ESPN is among the worst at this. Trying to watch the game as they slam promos of up and coming events instead of paying attention to the game at hand. And yes, that was a clean block, I have the game recorded..

The article excerpt in question:

"Monday night, I did as ESPN urged. I watched the Baylor-UConn women’s game on ESPN2. But I was quickly reminded — by ESPN — that ESPN is better at getting you to watch the next thing than showing what it urged you to watch.
When a foul was called on UConn’s Stefanie Dolson on what appeared to be a perfectly timed hand-on-ball blocked shot, the sellout home crowd howled while Dolson looked as if she had been the victim of a prank.
Surely — obviously — this play would be replayed. But ESPN next showed tape of the previous basket — a two-on-one layup — then went to commercials. Surely — obviously — ESPN would show the play after the commercials.
Nope. Obviously, ESPN was oblivious, leaving us, again, waiting for a bus that we forgot not to expect."
