ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

Mili complaining about commercials on ESPN. If you choose to watch it, why the bitching about it. Especially in this age where you can either change channels or dvr and watch without commercials.

This is at work, where the TV monitor used primarily for status displays and briefings is tuned to commercial TV all other times and is only about 15 feet to my immediately left.

Agreed. Fowler can go fuck himself up a flagpole. Half the problem with ESPN are the "personalities" who think they're more important than the game.

:cheers: I concur with the above statement.

ESPN now allowing open discussion of betting lines and including them in the graphics.

Surprised that segment didn't include two DraftKings.com commercials.

Damn it! I can never keep track of players in college football. Who drafted JT Barrett? I didn't even know he declared after last year. Is this JD Barrett guy any good? Will he even challenge Cardale?

It is a bit cheesy of them.

Then, again, those DraftKings ads...I wouldn't mind winning a million dollars. *sigh*

Secret weapon. That Urban Meyers is one sneaky bastid.

On the not-so-stupid side: Pretty nice tribute to Fowler's contribution on Game Day.

mea culpa mea culpa

But, in my defense, would it really be worth creating a new thread just to make a single post every decade or so?

Of course if Fowler ends up in a high speed car chase involving hookers and blow it could come in handy.

We can at least count on @ScriptOhio bumping it

New Midnight SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt Launching Sept. 7

After months of planning, preparation and rehearsal, the new midnight (ET) edition of ESPN SportsCenter, hosted by Scott Van Pelt, will premier Monday, Sept. 7, immediately following ESPN’s telecast of the game between No. 1 Ohio State and Virginia Tech.

The longtime ESPN anchor, who also previously hosted a program on ESPN Radio, will introduce a different version of SportsCenter, presenting the world of sports as seen through his unique perspective.

“Scott and a team of very talented and creative people have been working hard to be ready to launch a new and entertaining midnight SportsCenter,” said Rob King, ESPN senior vice president, SportsCenter and News. “The show will deliver what sports fans are used to from SportsCenter but in a different and fast-paced way, led by the intellect, humor and sports fandom of Scott Van Pelt.”

Cont'd ...

It appears ESPN has been forced to come up with a unique name for the midnight SVP edition of SportsCenter, due to overwhelming viewer demand for a way to DVR that one and none of the others.

Am I the only one that gives zero shits about this "new" SportsCenter or any other SportsCenter?

 

[TooTall]

The "highlights" (aka show two plays and then the score) will be shitty no matter who hosts it.

ESPN is ready to go all-in on this sports gambling thing aren't they? Getting a head start certainly. Way more talk this year about lines/spreads, throwing those numbers into graphics, box scores and having comments about not just the pick but who covers. And now it seems the new SC is just Scott Van Pelt laying out his bet slips lol.

I like it. I'm not a gambler, but it's kinda silly pretending it doesn't exist like mainstream sports media has done for years.
