Apples, oranges, pineapples, grapes, raspberries, etc.

If you thought the 24-hour news networks had a lot of time to fill, ESPN may have a tougher time since they have at least four different networks, plus their website, to fill with content, which must come from just (well, loosely interpreted) the sports world, which the news networks must also cover. Are these difficult to compare? I'll leave that for another time.

However, to fill that space available for content, ESPN, like the news networks, creates their own stuff, which often takes the form of a few guys sitting around a bar, but with numbers attached to quantify their argument. One such thing is their effort to determine which is the most difficult sport, where 60 sports are ranked by some arbitrary measure to conclude that boxing is the most difficult and that fishing is the least difficult.
