Last one from a few years ago...

This one has multiple errors. The apostrophe after GRADE EM' is misplaced and contradicts the placement of the apostrophe in Grade 'Em shown near the bottom of the screenshot. Jason Sehorn addressed the error at the top of the page and commented that as an English major he knows the apostrophe should be placed after Grade, which would make it Grade'em. In this case, the apostrophe is used in place of letters and should be designated as: Grade 'em with the apostrophe after the space following the word Grade and with a lowercase 'e' (not capitalized).

Kind of a cool piece of trivia here, i.e. not really an "ESPN looking stupid" story......

OCTOBER 5TH, 1996: LEE CORSO DONS BRUTUS BUCKEYE FOR FIRST HEADGEAR PICK IN GAMEDAY HISTORY

74976_h.jpg,qitok=mDGoDMXE.pagespeed.ce.4aFYzLsAJE.jpg


One score year ago Wednesday — Oct. 5th, 1996, to be exact — Lee Corso spiced up his usual ESPN GameDay big game pick by donning the carpeted head of Brutus Buckeye, the mascot of the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes, the team he tabbed to beat No. 4 Penn State.

The Buckeyes responded with a 38-7 shellacking of the Nittany Lions.

Corso has since gone 185-95 in his "headgear picks." The move has become one of the iconic media moments of every college football Saturday.

I've always thought that Lee Corso along with Lou Holtz (now retired) were a couple of the "good guy" analysts on ESPN. They actually spoke well of Ohio State and the B1G.

Yesterday, Desmond Howard was asked who he thought was number one, and he said that right now he has Ohio State number one, but if they and Alabama meet on the field he'd pick Alabama because "once you give Nick Saban more than a week to prepare, he'd pick apart the Buckeyes". Oh, you mean like he did in the 2014 playoffs with over three weeks to prepare? Fucking moron...

In addition to that not making sense in reference to 2014, why wouldn't you have Bama #1 in the first place if you think they would win the head-to-head matchup?

ESPN is worrying about it's ratings.......

ESPN's most controversial show, 'First Take,' is on the move and it is a sign that the 'Worldwide Leader' is at a crossroads

ESPN is moving their star morning debate show, "First Take," from ESPN2 to ESPN in 2017 in an effort to boost its declining viewership, according to John Ourand of Sports Business Daily.

While this move can be looked at as an effort to revive ESPN's most controversial show, it is also a sign that ESPN is at a crossroads and a larger shake-up is brewing for the self-proclaimed "Worldwide Leader in Sports."

It has been a rough year for ESPN. They laid off more than 300 employees at the end of 2015 — their second wave of lay-offs in two years — and are on pace to lose three million subscribers in 2016. In addition, ratings are down 19.4% for ESPN's biggest investment, "Monday Night Football," an enterprise in which ESPN pays $1.9 billion per year for one game per week during the NFL season.

All of that has overshadowed another growing problem for ESPN: "First Take," one of their marquee daytime shows, is losing viewers in droves at a time when doubt was already being raised about how well strong ratings for debate shows translate to advertising revenue.
