Did anybody watch the report on ESPN where the new host is asked "if any can beat Shaun White in the SuperPipe" and she answers "No", Don't get me wrong Shawn White = really incredible snowboard, but I think that its in the realm of possibility for someone to beat him. It does not make sense to me that they are pushing just Shawn in the pipe, when I believe a rivalry between him and another rider would get more people to watch. Saying no one can beat Shawn means that I know what is going to happen, its not very fun to watch something when we know whats going to happen, but bring in the realm that someone could beat him and then we get people to wonder and that seems more exciting to watch becuase you don't know.

Anybody agree, disagree

you're obviously right but i mean who was the one who said no? i don't know how in tune ESPN staff are with the snowboarding world, but anything said on those channels regarding skiing/snowboarding i usually don't care for, i'd rather hear it from someone who knows what they're talking about
