I don't watch a lot of ESPN these days, unless the network is broadcasting a specific game of interest, but after getting my second COVID vaccination last week, I spent more time than usual on my couch.

So I watched ESPN. And sensed a couple of trends.

People: It appears that ESPN likes NFL draft speculation almost as much as Michael Jordan likes Michael Jordan. They really like having a certain host on the air, too.
