Could ESPN pull Pony Excess?

Postby ponypr033 » Tue Nov 30, 2010 2:26 pm

Just wondering Is there a chance ESPN moves Pony Excess from after the Heisman Show, because the likely winner is involved in a pay for play scandal. Would ESPN want the 30 for 30 about the only team to get the death penalty for paying players to air right after a Cam Newton wins the heisman and is involved in his own pay for pay scandal. Just wondering, I can't wait to see it, trailer looks great and Ihope it doesn't get delayed anymore.

You've got to be kidding. This would boost the ratings of both, if anything.

Agreed. This is a pure, perfect tie-in for ESPN to keep eyeballs on their screen.
Don't worry. Be Happy. Or not.

Did anyone watch the 30/30 on Marcus Dupree? That was a fascinating story and well told.

I understand that ESPN switched the Marcus Dupree episode, which was to have aired after the Heisman Award show, with Pony Exce$$.

Something tells me ESPN wants Pony Exce$$ to air exactly as scheduled after the Heisman award show.

It is all about eyeballs glued to the tube because ratings = $$$$.

have to agree...does anyone have doubt about their desire for numbers over ethics after "The Decision" aired?

I mean that's a given..I just can't believe you and ESPN rigged the Heisman the way you did. Well-played
