When I think of asses, something comes over me. quote:No one looks better in the rear view than Dontari Poe, the NFL's new gold standard in badonkadonk. At the combine, the 346-pound nose tackle from Memphis made scouts' hearts race after he ran a 4.98 40-yard dash in a pair of impossibly large compression shorts. Instantly, Poe's bouncing, bodacious bubble butt (also referred to in scouting parlance as the shelf, high rear end, assy, great hips, the crevice and the timeless classic "big enough to land airplanes on") turned the usually taciturn fraternity of football scouts into a chatty horde of Sir Mix-a-Lots. http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8132777/david-fleming-importance-athlete-butt-espn-magazine

This would be a firing offense at a 5,000-circulation paper, let alone ESPN, but I'm not sure ESPN realizes they still employ Lynn Hoppes.

I wonder if ESPN executives felt a wave of panic when the Sandusky story broke and thought to themselves "Oh god, did we ever hire him for anything ever?"

Man, Gawker traffic must be way down since their redesign because AJ is now resorting to this:quote:And, still, none of these women who've ever slept with Magic Johnson seemed opportunistic enough to step forward and tell their tale. Neither have the transsexual prostitues. So once again, the story of Magic's HIV survival takes front and center over how he actually got it. That Frontline documentary will have to wait for another day.

I think they were sick of him from Day 1. I used to comment a lot on deadspin but I got really skeeved out when they started doing that HEY HELP US IDENTIFY THIS RANDOM HOT GIRL AT THE BALLGAME...THE FACT THAT SHE'S HOT MEANS SHE WANTS ATTENTION poo poo. Oh and the whole "posting a video of a girl being sexually assaulted in a sportsbar then telling her 'tough poo poo' when she asked for it to be taken down" episode. haljordan fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Jul 12, 2012 |

NBC Sportsnet is gonna try their own morning highlights show without an on-screen host. Nice of them to try, but as usual I think they have an uphill battle against that other show with the Star Wars/Snooki/Harper fact sheet http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/07/nbc-cable-net-to-get-morning-highlight-show-with-unseen-host/1#.UA_o26PpWjS

I just want to see highlights of the games, I have zero shits to give about Bud HEAVY Six Dumb Questions With John Clayton's Alien Head. I generally like what NBC Sports is doing the quality of their stuff tends to look better I think - they just need to get some better sports.

Yeah, I'd be willing to give that show a try too. I hope it shows highlights somewhat equally though as opposed to 25 minutes on the Yankees-Red Sox game and 20 seconds for each other game.

You'll probably see more NHL and MLS highlights, and I think they're allowed to do actual video replays of the Olympics thanks to their license.

Jeff Passan posted:On June 21, the Marlins had lost six of seven games and fallen two games under .500. Loria decided it was an appropriate time to give the team a pep talk. One player there called it "possibly the worst speech I've ever heard." The Marlins lost that day and then four of their next five.

while there are a shitfuckload of reasons to hate Jeff Loria, the Marlins' attendance numbers have loving skyrocketed compared to what they were before (home attendance so far on the year is ~1.42M per ESPN, versus ~1.52M for all of 2011 and ~1.53M for 2010; they've already bested the entire season's paid attendance for each year from 2006-2009)
