Why is this a big deal? Why would ESPN spend money for overheads of the same thing they spent money on 2 months ago? That would be dumb.

the only thing that was wrong was the shot of charlotte. it was a mistake.
i agree with laley, why waste the money of something that probably wasn't THAT different anyways. i mean it's not like they had a huge turnover in the area.

Yeah Charlotte was bad, but as mentioned that was a mistake. A big one, but a mistake. It isnt like they were trying to pass stuff from the 80s as live lol.

You don't (mis)lead viewers into believing you are providing something you aren't. If they aren't live shots and were taken months earlier, THEN SAY SO. Don't let people think they're watching something that isn't taking place.
I know ESPN isn't about real journalism -- despite what they like to spout, when it suits their needs. The network is all about one thing: the network. How to promote what they show the best way possible, even if it's by pretending to be journalists, columnists, or whatever else they throw out there.
Anyone with half a brain has known ESPN has been trash for a long time.

i'm not saying espn isn't trash, but they never said they were live shots. they were giving you shots of the jacksonville, yes, charlotte was a BIG mistake. but in the article they mentioned there was never anything saying the shots were live. granted, I didn't watch the game.
i can understand why people want to bitch about it, but i find it very trivial.

I'd be interested to see the supposed Charlotte shot.
I don't really see the big deal. It's more funny than anything.

CBS does this all the time pre-taped footage of players warming up for basketball as the tease the next game. All those opens for sports games? Great number are pre taped. They dont say, well 20 minutes ago when we taped this open and got the shots of these players on the field...

Hey, it's not like they used crowd scenes from a political rally like a certain cable "news" outlet did.
ESPN is too big for any criticism to stick.

I guess I don't see the big deal with it. Its cheap of them, but unethical or something? No.
You can find far worse journalistic ethics if you look into their coverage of the Bernie Fine/Syracuse scandal.

I guess I am a stickler for journalistic integrity. ESPN presented those shots knowing full-well that viewers would perceive the shots to be taken live. If this was not the intent, then ESPN should have indicated so. Yes, its not a "big deal," kindof like how the New York Post reporting trashy stories isn't a big deal -- just sad to see this network stoop to new lows.

It's obvious ESPN did this as a slight against Ohio State to continue their Anti Buckeye Agenda.

It's ESPN, not JSPN. Since when are these guys considered journalists?

Never understood all the hate for ESPN? Imagine the world without them. We would still be stuck watching 3 college football games a week on TV instead of 40. Who cares if they use shots of JVille from 2 months ago or Charlotte. Shit, they could throw Dubai up there. All I care about is the games.

Didn't CBS get busted for laying recorded bird songs over their golf telecasts a few years back? Some birdnerd recognized the call of a bird found only in the Southeast being used on a broadcast of a tournament in California.
For that matter, I don't understand the need for overhead shots night games at domed stadiums.

Those night shots are also good for showing the fake lighting on downtown buildings, too.
