Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About ESPN's Kentucky Derby Coverage

Rover found this 4/29/2008 on awfulannouncing.blogspot.com

This might come as a surprise but I think ESPN's coverage of the Kentucky Derby is one of the best jobs they do all year. Sure they go overboard with coverage at times and it's rather goofy, but we're talking about a horse race where people where funny hats and Nick Lachey is an honored guest. This year's ESPN coverage is going to be much of the same but there's a bonus for you Derby fans. ...

The 134th Kentucky Derby: Who Still Gives A F**k?

Posted 5/1/2008 on Rumors and Rants

As I say every year (well, last year anyway), I hate the Kentucky Derby. It is the most inane "major" sporting event of the entire year, and that includes several other overrated "traditions" such as the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, the Tour de France and Cubs baseball. Ahem. Last year, we discussed how OJ Simpson is a fan of horse racing and especially the Derby and also how we ...
