ESPN sucks, so do thread closers

We need a mass internet "vote for the worst" campaign for this. It's too bad they'll pre-select the 32 or Mark Redman would have my vote.

Just when I thought the world was safe from the disaster of Cold Pizza, they go and repackage it under the guise of something new as "First Take," in a 22nd century SportsCenter studio that looks like it was intended for time travel. First Take comes complete with the same format, dumbass hosts, and of course Skip Bayless with 1st and 10.

Once Woody left, I stopped trying to catch 1st & 10.

 

And speaking of 1st & 10, when will the NFL use something more high-tech than 3 old guys, two sticks and a chain to determine whether or not there was a first down?

Why is Jessica Alba on the Hot List?

She was also on First Take along with the guy from The Shield.

--Yesterday on Around the Horn, Woody Paige said the reason Tommy Morrison and Johnnie Morton fought in MMA because they can't get any ESPN publicity with out it, and that MMA can't compete with UFC or boxing. Yes, he really said that. (thanks to Robert Banks)

 

Oh, Woody.

Woody didn't do his research. Tommy Morrison has AIDS. Some idiot promoter didn't care about him having AIDS, put him on an MMA show on an Indian reservation and had him go at it with some random guy, whose stupidity I have to question even more than that of the promoter.

 

I mean, why the FUCK would you fight a guy with AIDS.

If I see a Michael Redd jersey next time I go to the mall, I'm going to buy it just to spite Jon Seibel.

I heard him the other day going on and on about how successful this years Finals were and that the NBA had to ecstatic. His reasoning, you ask? According to Seibel, it didn't matter what the ratings were, the only thing of importance was how many t-shirts they were selling at the NBA store. Since they sold a bunch of Cavs shirts it proved that everyone wanted to see them. Needless to say, I was having a tough time following that one.

Cav t-shirt sales on the rise are the only goal the NBA has. Ratings aren't important, it's all about the pink Cleveland baby doll sales.

I saw that ATH show and the silly part of it from Woody wasn't so much the comments on Morrison or Morton but the idea that he thought MMA was an actual promotion or something. UFC is a type of MMA, there's no organized promotion called MMA, haha.

 

JA Adande quickly chimed in that these lesser MMA groups really can't compete with UFC or Pride, so at least he seemed a bit more researched.

Deadspin will figure something out. I'm sure we can find a weak selection among 32.

Now that I think about it I'm sure David Eckstein will be in that 32, there's your winner.

ESPN sucks monkey ba!!$

 

As soon as the Yankees get rolling they lead sportscenter off with "Are the Yankees now A-Rod's team?'

 

There's only 1 thing they can be trying to do by spouting this crap and thats create locker room tension.

Jim Rome just basically told the Cavs to give up, forfeit the game and get to the golf course to save him the bother of covering another game.

 

Seriously, what the hell? I know the Cavs don't have a shot of winning the series and never did, but what the hell do you learn by just giving up to get some rounds of golf in? Yeah, sure helped those Nets when they did it Jim..great example.

Collin Cowheard has now decreed that strip clubs are bad places to be because everyone who's there just can't get along with people.

 

the women are there because they don't get along with their fathers/brothers and the guys are there because they don't get along with their wives.

He got to the right destination, but took the scenic route. Strip clubs probably aren't the best place to be, but not because Amber is mad at her dad.

 

I see that they're using the ESPN Deportes anchors to do soccer highlights on Sportscenter. THEY'RE OUTSOURCING HIGHLIGHTS TO IMMIGRANTS

I just saw the most disturbing fantasy baseball commercial on ESPN360.

 

It involved John Kruk ripping off his shirt and singing.

Yeah those commercials were already showing on ESPN earlier in the year.

 

What I wanna know is....what's the deal with these baseball commentators referring to certain players as "former Met great Kaz Matsui" or "former Dodger great Paul Lo Duca?" Is this supposed to be some type of inside joke?

Irony.

 

Anyways; I don't normally pay attention to these two, but fate has intervened today and I'm mildly entertained by The Gay Mike being totally sketched by this cow.

 

They should milk big things every day.
