kaworu posted:So, Onion SportsDome is premiering tonight on Comedy Central at 10:30PM eastern time. God knows that sports journalism is ripe for (and very much deserving of) some clever satire, and given that the Onion sports articles and blurbs tend to be fairly amusing, I'm actually optimistic that this could be good. Set it up for DVR in case I'm not back from the game in time. Please be good.

leokitty posted:Welp the Sanchez girl's full name and family info (including her dad's job!) are now being reported in various places. This is loving retarded and now her life is gonna suck for a while over something really stupid. Tell your friends: If you're a girl, never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever talk to AJ Delaurio. He will ruin your life for 100,000 page hits.

Crossposting from NHL N/V:The Star posted:An Aug. 16 article about the death of former Vancouver Canuck Rick Rypien misquoted Canucks general manager Mike Gillis as having referred to Rypien as “crazy” in an interview with the Vancouver Sun last November when Rypien took a personal leave from the Canucks. In fact, Gillis never said that. What he said in an interview with Vancouver Sun columnist Iain MacIntyre was: “When you come to know somebody and realize they’re a really good person, who has their heart in the right place and wants to do the right thing not only for themselves but for others, you have to support them. You don’t only support them when they’re at the top of their game and doing everything you want. You support them when they’re not feeling good about things or have other issues they have to deal with.” The Star apologizes for this error. That's the full text but I got it from here: http://www.thestar.com/opinion/corrections/article/1040334--apology That's a hell of a mistake and/or revisionist history.

Rich Hammond, beat writer for the LA Kings, is actually a team employee so he can't interview locked out players or the NHL gets really mad. So he's leaving for the OC Register to cover USC. Deadspin has a pretty good writeup.

Oh goodthat article posted:“Sometimes when I drop my shoulder and get hit, there'll be a big spark or a quick shock in my head, like a blue and yellow light,” says Salerno. “I just shake it off and go back and do it again, but it's probably not so good for my brain.”

So It Goes posted:I feel like it says a lot when Bill Simmons of all people suggests that people shouldn't pay attention to, or care about, First Take. Bill Simmons is wrong and dumb a lot of the time, but I think this one is right up there with "we should make a bunch of documentaries about sports" and "what if we got a bunch of people to write interesting things about sports but didn't put it on espn.com" as one of his better ones.

DOOP posted:Between Soccer, Hockey, and F1, NBC is going all in on sports Americans don't watch. Don't forget, they show CFL and I think curling as well. Rename it TSN South or at least make TSN available in the USA. C'mon, do it.
