Ernie Johnson just called this the "signature play
of game four", but something like this could be
the signature play of the entire Series. Seriously....watch that again. I still yelled just then and that was like the seventh time seeing it. ...

I'm not kidding you at all when I
tell you that the lady getting into it during
this tussle is Lebron James' mom. The crew discussed it at halftime and the woman in the white shirt is definitely Mama Bron. What are the chances that someone fouls ...
Here's your NBA Playoffs announcing schedule for this week. There are a lot of holes for the ESPN games (actually it's all of the games) because times and "if necessary" games haven't been decided yet. I'll fill that info in as the games play out and it becomes available. Mon., May 12 8:15 p.m.- Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers, Game #4 (TNT) Announcers: Kevin Harlan and Doug Collins ...

If you're not into Tennis this isn't really news, but if you are it most certainly is. For the first time ever at least part of all four Tennis Grand Slam Tournaments will air on one network and that network is ESPN.... ESPN and the United States Tennis Association (USTA) have agreed to a six-year television and digital rights agreement that brings the US Open in New York to ESPN for the ...

Tirico Suave has a great video today of one of ESPN's newest employees Rick Reilly explaining what he thought about the network back in 2004 and it couldn't be more telling about Reilly's motives these days..... The countdown is on for Reilly's debut at ESPN, and there hasn't been a debut I've dreaded more in my entire Sports' life. It's amazing how money solves most issues people seem ...

Two of the people I couldn't stand more in this world (add Romo, Favre, and Bissinger and you have my starting five) are going to by doing a scene together on the small screen. Yes, Terrell Owens is going to be on the "hit" show Under One Roof which "stars" none other than VH-1 staple Flava Flav. Via Starpulse.... T.O. will make his sitcom acting debut on the MyNetworkTV show ''Under One ...

There's nothing better than someone who has already done/said something relatively shocking, and then taking it to the next level. Most of the time people do it with bad jokes, but it's especially fun when people take a potentially ridiculous story and make it even worse. With that said I give you Gary "Sarge" Matthews talking lap dances and "large" women. From Philly Burbs via HHR... ...

(Usually) Everyday I'll throw out a photo from the AP or one of the bigger sites and you provide the caption. Hilarity ensues. I'm also adding a handful of links at the bottom of the page that you should check out each day. Last Wednesday's Winners.... "At that moment, Kevin realized that LeBron would never feel what he felt, and that their magical August in Vermont was all but a distant ...

I mentioned this the day after the Packers
QB retired but apparently the rumor that networks were
scrambling to contact Favre has been validated by a current studio personality involved in contract discussions. Barry Switzer was talking with ...
This video is from Fox Sports 3 in Australia (via SS Reporters ) and it appears that channel may have cut into Sky Sports' live feed a tad too early (NSFW language).... Everyone knows how I feel about live f-bombs, and one that goes out to an entire Country is pretty impressive. This also isn't the first time that presenter Richard Keys has been caught, so someone might want to keep the ...

Out of all of the inventions surrounding Sports
broadcasts the worst hands down was the glow puck.
It wasn't necessarily the glowing itself, but more the fact that the glow would never stay with the puck. Well that and the stupid red rocket-like ...

I always wondered if reporters on the beat
of different teams had gotten into it before, and
I guess this finally answers that question. Two reporters, one from Detroit and one from Orlando, got into it over the weekend. Actually "got into it" might ...

OMDQ mentioned this in the open thread, and
I thought I'd give the interview it's own post.
Here is David Ortiz hamming it up behind Terry Francona as he chats with Jon and Joe.... I feel like I've seen this go down before with these two but I ...
(posted by One More Dying Quail) Tonight, we have one of those nationally televised matchups that's always nice to see, between two teams that just don't get enough coverage: the Boston Red Sox (who haven't been on ESPN in like six whole days! ) and the Minnesota Twins (who were last on ESPN...I don't know when. It was probably last Wednesday, making me look even dumber than usual). All ...

(posted by One More Dying Quail) MLB Trade Rumors mentioned a Peter Abraham story earlier today that ran down a bunch of guys who could or should be dealt this summer. I don't normally click on links in posts like that, but did so in this case, for whatever reason. It must have been the Hand of God, because who else did Abraham mention as being "on the hot seat"? Joe Morgan (announcer, ...

(posted by One More Dying Quail) Two thoughts immediately ran through my head after seeing this story about Hannah Storm (via The Big Lead 's Patrick Imig): 1) Why didn't ESPN have a morning SportsCenter already? You could probably argue that not enough happens overnight to create an entirely new show the next day, but local TV stations don't just rerun the 11 o'clock news the following ...

Don Cherry is known for not having a
filter, but he's going to learn that you can
upset people very quickly with certain comments. He was responding to a question from John Buccigross about attendance problems in Detroit when he dropped the r-neck ...
One of the big stories regarding the "Leader" last week was the signing of WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman. Well according to Canoe.com those rumors are false.... In a statement to SLAM! Wrestling, Dave Nagle, Manager of Media Relations for ESPN's Communications Department, stated that "all I can say is that these 'rumors' are untrue...we do not have a signed deal. There is nothing more to ...

One of the biggest traffic days AA has
ever had was the day I posted the audio
of Suzyn Waldman crying on-air after the Yankees lost in the Playoffs last year (the audio is still there if you missed it). Well Waldman you may remember was the same ...
Bugs and Cranks has video of the Rangers and Mariners playing the feud last night, and announcer Tom Grieve doesn't seem to respect Richie Sexson decision to charge the mound.... In fairness to Sexson, the Mariners' Felix Hernandez had hit two batters in the previous inning and he was charging on anything close. I've also never seen a helmet throw land like that. Fun times. Update: ...
