And I am taken to a place

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

this is a network that has literally covered poker, the spelling bee, and rock/paper/scissors tournaments. at this point covering computer games isn't that big a stretch for them

They at least did a 30 minute special about the Dota 2 championships two years ago. They also broadcast the actual games on ESPN3 if you want to count that.

Madden's fallen off, but it used to have a midnight release, Ozzy Osbourne is playing on the roof of a gamestop level of crazy hype.

On Outside the Lines, they're currently talking to a bunch of dorks if PED and amphetemines are ruining esports. Hard hitting journalism.

This year Simmons is going to finally get into Star Wars, and the first piece when his new site debuts will be a 4500-word feature matching every NBA player from the past 30 years to a corresponding Star Wars character ( Bird is Obi-Wan, Kobe is Darth Vader, Jordan is Palapatine).

A long time ago (2003 or 4), swear to god, they had Brian Kenny on ESPNEWS in the afternoon interviewing some guy who worked on a Rainbow Six game and Kenny lost his poo poo at the dude saying video games were too violent for kids.

We had some IT consultant come into our office a while ago and he looked pretty much like the guy in the middle except his hair was a little shorter and he was wearing a sport coat with the elbow pads so he looked like a rapey community college professor
