Sports media: If Bill Walton is trending, a debate is normally in store

Don’t fear the worst. It’s likely that a live debate on social media has spawned from the college basketball game he is working on ESPN or the Pac-12 Network. And that it might morph into a larger phenomenon that borders on a sociological experiment that might seem like Walton is manipulating for his own devious pleasure.

If formatted as a Zagat review, Walton is the most “insufferable,” “out-of-control,” “must-mute,” “aggressively annoying” “complete buffoon” on TV. Unflattering emojis optional. GIFs include people hitting themselves in the forehead with a hammer.

“I’d rather listen to Fran Drescher call this game” posted @GatorNation1911 on Twitter during last week’s Gonzaga-Washington telecast.
