ESPN sucks, so do thread closers

Chan Ho Park must be an Antonio Inoki fan.

Izzy Alcantara did a sweet sprawl to defend against the attempted take down, right near the end of the video. Boy must have been an amateur wrestler.

To bad he was facing the almighty power of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons.

The Yankees played this afternoon. They have nothing else to talk about, except the usual filler for the 4pm Sportscenter.

 

There was Tom Brady getting caught WEARING A YANKEE HAT!!!

Bob Ryan was guest host on PTI with Wilbon today. He's so much better on this show than ATH.

 

Am I the only one that like Josh Eliot on Sportscenter? Of course, I've liked him since he was on ATH.

[Vern Gagne 0]

I liked him on Classic Now.

ESPN.com just gave me a pop-up alert, complete with Bottom Line sound effect, that Barry Bonds homered again. The pop-up is an interesting concept, but if Bonds is the only thing they're using it for, I'm not impressed.

SCREAMIN' A SMITH, BOXING AFICIONADO.

[Vern Gagne 0]

Why the hell was he on?

[Mike wanna be 0]

We should all be thankful the fight was when it was, or else we would've gotten a boatload of Stephen A Smith, horse racing aficionado.

THAT NOBIZ LIKE SHOBIZ IS TERRIBLE! Gotta be the worst horse in the entire race!

[Guest A.BUTCHER'S HOUSE OF RIBS]

Hmmmm I wonder if this Clemens thing might be a big story for ESPN???? So much for watching ESPN for the next few days. Scratch that the next few weeks!!

[Guest Richard McBeef]

I see the Booyah Network is whipping up racial unrest with its 799-person poll about white people hating Barry Bonds.

All week long they hyped tonight's Gints/Phils game with guess-who's record chase, including the opening montage.

 

Womp womp, Barroid's not even playing.

Next on SportsCenter, why people not liking Barry Bonds is a RACIAL~!!!! issue

 

 

Edit- Joe Morgan: I think it's good for baseball that Roger Clemens is coming back.

 

WHY

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

They need to stop smoking Clemens' cock so much during a San Fran/Philadelphia game.

[Timmy8271 0]

So Cold Pizza is no more I see? They changed the name and have the same studio as Mike and Mike has. I wonder how long it will take till they realize that no one wants to see Dana Jacobson and Jay Crawford?

I don't like Clemens to the Yankees either. But the addition of a star-caliber player is always good for the sport.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

Obviously, his resume on the field speaks for itself. But he has a long history of character issues and the way that the media cannonizes this guy is a tad much.

Cancelling Cold Pizza might actually be a reason why ESPN doesn't suck.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

I've caught bits and pieces of First Take . . . it's pretty much Cold Pizza with a sleaker more SportsCenterish presentation.

 

And I am HATING this Rundown on SC itself. At least get rid of the gray SC bar at the top of the screen which serves no purpose.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

More HD programming! Plus I heard Mike and Mike was supposed to go in HD too, although that makes almost no sesne to me.

I thought it was so much better back when it first started. I've watched since the debut of Cold Pizza and liked some of the things they did like the Side Line Report, and I also liked that it wasn't just sports but all news, sports, regular news, and even entertainment. Now it's just SportsCenter with a different cast. I did like the addition of 1st and 10 but they need to get Woody Paige back.. Skip just pisses me off at times, although I do like the fact that he's the only person on TV with the balls to keep bringing up the fact that Ray Lewis is a murderer.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Cold Pizza is cancelled? Wow, I thought it would never happen. Not that I ever get to watch it, anyway.

Not really cancelled as much as it was just renamed and sent to a new set thats HD capable because its in CT instead of NY. Its the same format, same hosts and same segments really.

[-DeN- 0]

Yeahman, the only discernable difference between Cold Pizza and this new shit is that it takes place in a different location. Way to shake things up.

 

They still have the boring chick with the giant head and the fucking doofus guy hosting, useless interviews and 1st & 10 with Bayless...and Screamin' A. Smith (for today at least).

 

Though (can't believe I'm going to type this) I actually enjoyed Smith today, especially this exchange:

 

 

Bayless: Blah blah blah...Dikembe Mutumbo is better than Yao Ming.

 

Smith: Bwaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa. Ohohohohohohoohoh. You're insane! You need a psychiatrist! Someone needs to wrap you up!

 

Bayless: *Tears up*

 

Doofus: That does it for second down.

 

 

Nevermind who was right or wrong, Bayless almost cried. I don't think he'd do well at the Rap Olympics.

[Guest Richard McBeef]

Yeah, the only reason he didn't cry was because his tear ducts were removed when his face was pulled taut.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Ooh, SCREAMIN' A. SMITH. This show looks just as promising.

[Timmy8271 0]

Rome Is Burning is bad enough, but when Doug Gotllieb is hosting, it's 20 times worse. They should have just took it off for the week.

[Timmy8271 0]

I don't know if anyone saw but before PTI's big finish on sportcenter, they had a debate between Jay Mariotti and Skip Bayless. My god it was horrible.
