Jalen Rose Going To Jail


A Michigan judge has sentenced former NBA guard Jalen Rose to serve 20 days in jail for a drunken driving crash along a snowy suburban Detroit road in March (sentenced actually to 92 days overall, with all but 72 days suspended, he also gets 1 year probabtion).

I usually going on a whole rant about how he is rich and should've got someone else to drive, which is damn true, but you know how I feel about that, so I will just give Jalen a little credit.

He admitted what he did, and even old the officer that he had six martinis that might, and pleaded guilty to the charge. 20 days in jail sucks, but it could've been worse and I hope ESPN doesn't fire him over this. He admitted what he did, he is going to serve his time and should be allowed to move on with his life once he has.

Michelle Beadle Hates Erin Andrews Confirms My Suspicions...



Listen Bob proclaimed her love and I also am a big Michelle Beadle fan so when she is out being Anti Erin Andrews (much like me) I fully support the cause. She basically called the whole peephole gate a conspiracy which I have done forever ago. Here's what she had to say:
I felt bad for her. She looked fabulous but it was such a violation. I mean, I've had moments in my apartment in New York when the blinds were up for one brief second and you think, "Ugh!" but that's nothing compared to what happened to her. Nothing.

I think things might have been handled differently, but she seems to be moving on. Sometimes these things turn out better for people.

If the implication was subtle in the above quote, Beadle was more straightforward in a phone conversation about Andrews’s leap from college football’s sideline to Oprah’s couch to the stage of Dancing with the Stars (during which time ESPN all but put Erin Andrews in bubble-wrap). “Funny how that all worked out,” Beadle says. I asked her about the potential backlash from Bristol regarding her quote — how extraordinarily sensitive the whole ordeal was and how even acknowledging that she watched the video is something ESPN won’t much appreciate. “Fine,” she said. “But who didn’t watch that video?” One of the book’s authors, James Miller, gives Beadle a lot of credit for keeping her admission on the record: “Lots of other folks would say to me, ‘Off the record — I watched it.’ So I give her credit for being honest.”

Make no mistake: In Bristol there are clear sides being taken by coworkers and management — Team Beadle and Team Andrews. In fact, Andrews supporters have quietly groused about Beadle’s relationship with ESPN’s NHL analyst Matthew Barnaby, implying that Beadle is treated differently and that Erin would never get away with something like that. The biggest slap in the face, to some Erin supporters, was that ESPN trotted out Beadle yesterday morning, along with Scott Van Pelt, for the network’s up-fronts — this despite her relationship with Barnaby, who’s now facing assault charges after an incident at the home of his soon-to-be-ex-wife Christine. But ESPN’s upper management has chosen its new fair-haired girl, it seems. For now, it’s Beadle. Beadle also maintains that her relationship with Barnaby was done “by the book,” in accordance with ESPN’s corporate policy about disclosing interoffice romances. Rumors have surfaced, however, that the Barnaby-Beadle relationship started getting serious at a time when Barnaby was still married. Beadle denies those rumors and maintains there was nothing illicit about their relationship."


Deadspin broke this because they are the 1st for everything TMZish for sports, but I'm so glad Beadle is against Andrews. I have never been an Andrews fan and even though all guys faun over her overrated ass I could see right through her bullshit. This obvious peephole thing was just a way for her to launch her career, before that there was no Oprah, no dancing with the stars no anything.

The Answer Says FUCK YOU ESPN!


Thats right. Fuck ESPN because they are brain damaged. I know I'm going to beat a dead horse with the whole Celtics trade, but I had a revelation last night while watching the game that really blew my mind. If you've read any ESPN articles in the last week about this trade, or watched any sports center, the biggest criticism about the trade is that the Celtics lost their size. Well first of all, simple math shows you that we gain sized. Last time I checked Perk was 6'11 and Krstic is 7 foot. Gained an inch there. Dont need to be a math wizard to figure out that one. Nate Robinson is 5'8 and Jeff Green is 6'9, gain a foot and an inch for all you retards out there that work for ESPN. So I'm not sure how this little debate got started, but simple arithmetic proves this to be null and void.

Then I thought some more...Maybe the Celtics play smaller because Perk plays bigger than he is. I still don't understand it but I guess I see where they are coming from. But if you watched the game against the Bucks, you saw something amazing. Something I almost wet my pants over. Sure the Celtics can play small. They slide Green to the 4 spot and move KG to the 5 to close out the game. I'm a fan of the line-up kind of like the James Posey days. But they can play big. Really fucking big. Bigger than any team in NBA. Why you ask? Because Jeff Green can play two positions, but so can Paul Pierce.

Last night at one point in the game the C's had a line up of Rondo, Pierce (SG), Green (SF) Garnett (PF) and Krstic at Center. Green gives people problems on the wing because he's so tall. Paul gives shooting guards problems because he's so tall. So now we have a 6'9 Paul Pierce playing shooting guard against an the league average of 6'4, and Green playing small forward against the average of 6'6. We gain 1 inch at the SF spot and 5 inches at shooting guard. Thats a big line-up. Imagine when Shaq comes back. Then we are freakishly large.

Think of all the variations of that line-up. We can put West in a pg and Troy Murphy in at center, then we have a 3 point shooting line up. We can put Rondo in a pg, baby at PF and KG at Center and have a small yet running line-up.

The combos are endless. The Celtics got anything but smaller. I'd say they got bigger, but more importantly, more versatile. Besides, Nate and Perk are hurt. So they are worthless anyway.

This will be the end of my trade talk. Fuck you ESPN and anyone who says we got smaller.

Celtics Get A TV Show


"NBA Entertainment (NBAE), in association with ESPN Films, will present The Association: Boston Celtics, debuting on ESPN on Friday, Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. ET, prior to the network's game telecast of the Celtics hosting the Chicago Bulls. This five-part series will follow Boston on its quest for an unprecedented 18th championship banner after the team fell just five points short of a title in last year's dramatic seven-game NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.

NBAE cameras will provide an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at the Celtics throughout the 2010-11 season (Celticsblog.com)."

With the Sox 2011 season already going down the tubes I needed some good news. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. The Celtics are the most entertaining team in sports right now. I can't wait to see the behind the scene footage with guys like Shaq, Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Garnett and so on.

How is Rondo during practice? Does Nate always torture Shaq? How does Doc handle so many future Hall of Famers?

This is going to be amazing. Here is a look at the schedule...

Episode 1 - Friday, Dec. 3 - 7 p.m. (30 minutes)
Episode 2 - Friday, Jan. 21 - 7 p.m. (30 minutes)
Episode 3 - Friday, Feb. 25 - 7 p.m. (30 minutes)
Episode 4 - Wednesday, March 16 - 7 p.m. (30 minutes)
Episode 5 - Friday, April 15 - 8 p.m. (60 minutes)

All of these will be on ESPN.

Joe Morgan Is Fired.... Finally



Joe Morgan sucked. Pure and simple. His condescending voice and patronizing manner made me want to slit my wrists. I would have rather listened to a game on radio than sit through a "bullshit" broadcast. I remember when the Sox were playing the Twins he explained that the SLOWER the pitcher threw his pitch, the MORE TIME the batter had to see it and that the FASTER the pitcher threw his pitch, the LESS TIME the batter had to see it.

I don't understand why ESPN had Joe Morgan around for so long. They are normally on top of their game with the Monday Night Football crew, but for some reason Joe Morgan fell threw the cracks.

Thank god

ESPN's Peter Keating Talks Out Of His Ass


ESPN's Peter Keating wrote an article entitled "Black QBs are underrated and underpaid". The opening line of the article is "Is the NFL's quarterback rating system racist?". He goes on to say that is a trick question, but does not back off his idea that the QB rating system is racist, and the league doesn't want black QB's leading their team. Here is part of the article...

"Since 2005, just five starting signal-callers have had seasons of 100 or more snaps in which they ran the ball on more than 15 percent of their plays: Vince Young (four times), Michael Vick (three), David Garrard (two), Jason Campbell and Tarvaris Jackson. All are African-American. Of the top 10 seasons in yards per carry by starting QBs over that span, seven are by black QBs, topped by Vick's amazing 8.4 YPC in 2006. To be clear, these numbers don't mean that all black QBs rush for more yards than all white QBs or that black players have more speed than white players. But they do indicate that running tends to be a far more important part of overall play for QBs who are African-American than for those who aren't.

Why? Nobody knows for sure, but I have a theory. Suppose that, whether because of old stereotypes, old habits or some unarticulated mix of the two, it's hard for many coaches and recruiters to envision a black quarterback leading their team (ESPN - click for full article, so you might need ESPN Insider)."

Ugh, I delayed for awhile writing about this, because I usually get crushed if I even touch race, but I just couldn't leave this one alone. This statement is one of the most ludicrous things I have ever read.

Rating system being racist? Just silly. It's a passer rating, the point of the stat is to know how well the guy passes the ball. You know how you know how a player runs? It's called rushing yards, and yards per carry. Does anyone look at Vick's stats and only look at his passing stats? If you do you're a fool, and know nothing about him (or football), so shame on you.

Black QB's being underpaid? David Garrard made more then Tom Brady last year. Let me repeat that David Garrard got paid more then Tom Brady last year. Vick is only in his 2nd year out of jail, and is just getting a chance to start. He was paid very well before his arrest, and will be again if he stays out of trouble, plays like he did early this year, and stay healthy. McNabb, Russell, McNair, along with the guys already mentioned have been paid just like everyone else.

There very well could be racism in the NFL. You could argue that there isn't enough black coaches, when comparing how many black players there have been. You could argue about their being little or no black owners, and I think you could have a great case, but PLEASE don't tell me that the league is racist against black QB's and that the stat lines are racist, because I am damn sure that Vick (prearrest) made some serious cash once again, along with JaMarcus Russell, McNabb, McNair, and so on. It's just a dumb statement and this article just doesn't make any sense.

What Should Beadle Do?


Fucking hilarious, and I'm in love with her (Michelle Beadle). Say what you want, but SportsNation is becoming one of my favorite shows.

Why Not?

Why not hear what Marcellus Wiley has to say about Ryan Leaf and guns?



I was listening to The Doug Gottlieb Show on my way home from work yesterday, and Marcellus Wiley was on to discuss a number of topics, ranging from Mark Ingram to Matt Leinart and even a little Dancing With the Stars. Marcellus, always well-spoken as any Ivy League alumnus would be, also offered up some tales about Ryan Leaf and a great little tidbit about his interactions with guns as an NFL player.

I've searched all over for the audio for this, but ESPN surprisingly chose not to include this in their snipets of the day's show, and no one else seems to have it either. But in case you missed it, I'll paraphrase because they're too good not to share. First, the Ryan Leaf story.

We all know the well documented struggles of the QB bust out of Wazzu. Upon getting to the Chargers though, Marcellus learned that the legend of Ryan Leaf has more to it. Apparently, at one point during a poor stretch of his rookie season, Leaf didn't seem to concerned with the poor play and would often be seen laughing and yucking it up after bad losses. This behavior continued upon landing in the team charter where three limos ready to party were awaiting Leaf and whoever wanted to head out. Keep in mind this is the plane that also has the owner, GM, team president and the like aboard. Smartly, everyone else on the plane passes not wanting to make a bad impression. Leaf continues this smug and nonchalant attitude for a number of games in which the team lost. Apparently, according to Wiley, the team got so fed up with it they decided to teach him a little lesson. Wiley said on the show yesterday that linemen on the team were basically telling the opposing D line, "Hey you want a shot at this guy? Come over here. Go through me, this is the best place to get it." And he was repeatedly sacked very hard with the help of his offensive linemen!


Hahahaha Good for them. I've seen shit like that in movies, but never really thought it happened in the NFL.


Now for the guns story. This one is even better.

News broke yesterday afternoon that Plaxico Burress will likely be serving out his full sentence in prison, as he was denied a 2nd work release. (This is stupid, but I'll save this argument for another day.) So the conversation moved to guns and NFL players and Wiley was asked if he was ever in a situation in which guns were involved as an NFL player. Wiley, who is not a proponent of players having guns, surprisingly said, "Oh yea. I almost got killed." My ears perked up. He went on to tell a story about how he was leaving a night club in LA in his brand new ride with some of his boys. Traffic around the club was at a standstill and some of his boys had hopped out and were milling around and hollerin' at some hoes and such. Well things got ugly quick when one of his boys apparently talked to the wrong girl and set some dude off. The guy says, "OK..hold up. And he goes back to his car, and he grabs something and starts coming back toward us," Wiley said. There was nowhere for him to run, nowhere to move his car and this dude is marching over to his whip totin' a pistol and ready to pop one in Wiley's ass. He was apparently only about 20 yards away from the car when out of nowhere some guy comes flying and shoves the dude in the chest, saying, "Yo leave him alone, man. He's with me. He plays ball. He's cool." This person who saved the day? None other than Willie McGinest!



Unbelievable. Apparently, Willie somewhat knew the guy so he was able to squash the beef or whatever the kids are sayin' these days. Marcellus says that he has "Willie to thank for his life."


WOW! This was some good radio. I hope that I can find the link for you. Kinda made me like Wiley a little bit more for sharing these stories. I know a lot of athletes have stories like this but they're reluctant to share with the public. Anyway, just thought it was interesting. Willie! I'll be damned.

Interesting Theory On Why Shaq Joined The Celtics


The Sports Guy had a good article today about why Shaq joined the Celtics... Here are the main parts...

"You might remember the press conference after Game 7 of the 2010 Finals -- or, as it's known in my house, "The Night That Led To Dad Not Speaking To Anyone For Five Days" -- when Kobe couldn't conceal his delight when someone asked what the title meant to him personally, saying "I got one more than Shaq! You can take that to the bank."

Everyone laughed. Then Kobe added cryptically, "You guys know how I am. … I don't forget anything."

He's not kidding. A few minutes before, when everyone was celebrating in the Lakers locker room, Kobe let everyone know how much he enjoyed passing Shaq in the ring department. He did it loudly. Boisterously. Euphorically. With a few expletives. I've heard this story a few different ways, but in each version, Kobe sounded a little like Tupac lighting everyone up at the end of "Hit 'Em Up." But "everyone" was Shaq. You know, a little revenge for the "Tell Me How My Ass Taste" rap. And that's fine. I love this stuff. It warms my heart to know that, in an era in which the league's best players would rather join forces than beat one another, two of the best 12 players of all time still despise each other.

I don't think Shaq liked it. At all. Remember, Shaq could have gone to Greece or Italy, pocketed crazy money ($8 million to $10 million easy, tax-free), gained as much weight as he wanted, traveled Europe, dunked on a bunch of inferior opponents, become America's most beloved basketball export and expanded his brand to another part of the world. I can't imagine his business manager or agent advising him any differently.

O'Neal signed with Boston because "when I close my book at the end of the day, it's all about winning and nothing else." This was someone who told a teammate before the final game of his 2009 Suns season -- when they had just been eliminated from playoff contention -- that he "needed to start getting in shape for my reality show." Game 82 and you need to get in shape? Huh? Now you suddenly care about winning titles again? Now you're fine with swallowing your dignity to be a spare part, a minimum guy, an afterthought, someone with no security at all? Just to chase a ring? When you already have four?

My theory: I think Kobe's postgame routine got back to Shaq. I think it pissed him off. I think it got his competitive juices flowing for the first time in years. I think he realized Boston was his best chance to tie Kobe at five. I think he wants this more than anything. I think he shows up next month in surprisingly good shape, and I think we'll be saying in November, "Wow, that Shaq signing may have been a great move by Boston!" And I think this will happen for only one reason: because Shaq hates Kobe and Kobe hates Shaq. Just a theory (ESPN)."

Interesting. I agree with it to a certain level. I bet he does really hate Kobe, and wants at least one more shot at him, but I also think there is more to it. The Celtics are kind of the retirement home for NBA superstars now. I mean that in a good way. I think Shaq saw his options and sat back and was like "you know what? I would be pretty awesome to finish my career with KG, Allen, Pierce, O'Neal, and so on". We know he has always had a lot of respect for Pierce, and I think he thought this might be the most comfortable way to ride into the sunset. So, I do agree that Kobe is a motivator, but I also think the Celtics were the most "comfortable" way that he could end his career.

Tony Dungy Added To My Kill List


Last week I gave myself 20 mins, and made a list of the people I'd like to kill (Click Here to see that list). Anyways, there is someone I totally forgot...Tony Dungy.

Dungy went off about how he would never hire Rex Ryan because he swears a lot on HBO's "Hard Knocks".

"I would not. I personally don't want my players to be around that. I don't want to be around that," Dungy said. "It's hard for me to be around that, and if I were in charge, no, I wouldn't hire someone like that.

"Now, I've been around 'F' bombs, so it's not like it's new. But I just don't think that has to be part of your every minute, everyday vocabulary to get your point across."

Dungy, a devout evangelical Christian, also feels that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should speak to Ryan about his language on the HBO series.

"I would hope that he does," Dungy said. "I don't know that he will or not but I would hope that he does. I just don't think the league needs that. I don't think our young people need to hear that that's the way it's done to be successful. Because it doesn't have to be that way."

Do me a favor Dungy and get the fuck off my TV. I am so sick of this guy. If Rex Ryan was black he would be all over his balls. Dungy has come out and stated that he wouldn't mind in the least adding Mike Vick to his roster (if he had one). That's right the same guy who killed dogs, has a brother who fucks 15 year olds, and recently threw a nice birthday party, which ended by someone getting shot...Yea, but seriously we need to get this swearing under control.

Give me a fucking break Dungy. First off, you're the most overrated coach of all-time. There I said it. Sure, we can keep sitting back and keep drinking ESPN's Kool-Aid, but it's a fact. The only time he won the Super Bowl was when he was handed a Colts team that would've been able to do it with DP coaching. Honestly, we all know Manning was that team's real coach. On top of that the team he built (Tampa) couldn't win it until they got rid of this no-talent-ass-clown and hired Jon Gruden. So why the fuck am I supposed to care what he says?

I get that he was the first black coach to win the Super Bowl, but Tomlin (Steelers) has won it since, and there have been 4 black coaches in recent years to make it to the Super Bowl, so can we get past this guy ESPN? Maybe move on to someone who can actually speak.

So, congratulations Dungy, you have finally made it on my kill list.

Here We Go Again Favre


Favre has now come out and said that he hasn't decided if he is going to play, but if he is healthy he will. Shocking.

I didn't believe a word of it when I heard he was retiring yesterday. It just didn't make sense. He just doesn't want to go to training camp, so he'll milk this for all it's worth.

Want to know where the rumor about him probably started from? ESPN. You can think I'm crazy all you want, but doesn't it just seem like they can start these stories whenever they want? How many people probably tuned in yesterday when news that the "great" Brett Favre was retiring? I have no proof, but after the whole Lebron thing I really wouldn't put it past them.

Anyways, fuck Favre...Rodgers 4 Life.

LeFag's Night In Vegas


There is a lot of noise being made because LeFag had some big party in Vegas. There were girls wearing basically nothing, booze, ect. I really don't care. He's 25, single, and a millionare...so good for him. If you really want to read all about it CLICK HERE.

There are 2 parts of this story that interest me. The first is that ESPN was the first to report this story, but then within an hour took it down. Maybe they didn't have the right quotes, but to me this is just another sign that LeFag owns ESPN. Why does he get all this special treatment? Like the time he was dunked on and the video was taken away from everyone. Like I said I don't think he did anything wrong here, but the fact that he is able to control the media like this really bothers me.

The 2nd is just hilarious....

"Want to know exactly how ridiculous the entire spectacle is? Glen Davis thinks LeBron was acting a fool. That's right. The guy nicknamed "Big Baby" who was compared to Shrek thinks James is over-the-top:

Toward the end of the night, Boston Celtics forward Glen Davis walks past James' party and looks at the scene up and down several times like a painting in a museum, soaking in the images of the go-go dancers, the "King" sign and the costumed man delivering bottles of champagne.

Davis shakes his head and walks on.

James dances on the couch and sings along with the music blaring from speakers all around him (CBS)."

Hahaha, good for you Big Baby stay away from that butt pirate.

Save The Rays!!!


Buster Olney wrote a great article today about how the MLB should save the A's and Rays. The A's are rumored to be moving for San Jose, I don't know if that is a good idea or not, but I do like the idea for the Rays.

Olney thinks the Rays need to be realigned. "Selig has the power to affect change on behalf of the Rays, too, through realignment. He needs to get Tampa Bay out of the AL East, to give the Rays a consistent opportunity for success. This, in time, will give them a chance to build their brand and make their case for a new ballpark (Olney)."

So where do you move them?

The NL is what he says, and I agree. Move the Nationals to the AL East and send the Rays that way. Why do you do all this, because the Rays are a team worth saving. If they could get constant playoff chances they could get a new stadium, and no one needs one worse then the Rays. Plus I think they actually do have a fan base there if they had a chance year in and year out.

I know most of you will think this is because I just want the Sox to have more easy wins. Well, you are right, but I do actually think this would be a good for baseball. People want to see the Sox and Yanks in the playoffs every year. The Rays could be a nice new market to grow....Just an idea, but I like it a lot.

Another Shocking Iverson Story


Allen Iverson suffers from drinking and gambling problems. Wow, how shocked are you?

In a way I feel bad for the guy. His kid is sick, and I totally support that he went home to take care of her instead on continuing his NBA career. Still, these problems have been around for awhile, and I think they are finally catching up to him.

The gambling really shouldn't shock anyone. It happens to a lot of athletes, especially after they retire (Barkley, Jordan, Gretzky, ect). I guess it's fills that missing rush they don't get anymore now that they are retired. You hope he can turn it around, but if you trust Stephen A. Smith's reporting (can't say that I do) it doesn't sound good...

"(Iverson) will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away," Smith reported.

Ouch. Well he has always been somewhat of a thug, but I don't think this has much to do with that. He is currently going through a divorce, and those usually don't happen over night. So, lets look at his life...

- Basketball career is probably over.
- Wife is leaving him.
- Daughter is very sick.
- He has a drinking problem.
- He has a gambling problem.

If I didn't know better I would think I was writing about John Daly again. Anyways, even though I predicted that there was going to be no turnaround for this guy, I do feel bad for him and hope he can straighten out his shitty life.

Tony Kornheiser Suspended From PTI


I don't how many people heard him say this, but it was hilarious. He was ripping on Hannah Storm, who is an ESPN anchor, and I'm sorry, but he was right and it was funny...

“Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She’s got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt … way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now.” [She's 47.] “She’s got on her typically very, very tight shirt. She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body … I know she’s very good, and I’m not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won’t … but Hannah Storm … come on now! Stop! What are you doing? … She’s what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point.”

I love Kornheiser. I know he sucked for MNF, though I have to be honest and admit I didn't mind him, but he is awesome on PTI. He is the reason I watch that show, and I think this is bullshit. No way I'll watch PTI until his suspendsion is over.

All the guys on SportsCenter have to wear suits, why does she get away with dressing like some Providence hooker?

Fucking stupid if you ask me.

Tiger Woods Speaks


This is the most over hyped news story maybe ever. Tiger apologized, and said he will continue to get help for his "sex addiction". Do I believe any of it? No, of course not, but honestly who the fuck cares?

I want Tigers Woods hitting golf balls. That's it. I don't look to him for my morals. I don't care who he is fucking. All I want is to flip on SportsCenter and see Tiger Woods doing things no other golfer can.

The only thing I am bitching about here is the fact that he is not playing right away. I don't believe he has some sex addiction, and this is really just to get the press to layoff a little bit. Fuck all that, just play golf. That's why you are the first billion dollar athlete, and that's all I care about. Other then that, everyone just layoff Tiger.

Tony Dungy: Colts Are Going To Smoke The Saints


Obviously not surprised that Dungy picked the Colts, but what is surprising is how many people feel the same way. Here is what Dungy said...

"I think they're going to be so far ahead that people are going to say, 'Oh, ho-hum, he played a good game, they won by two scores, the Colts won their second championship,' " Dungy said of Manning on Thursday. "He's going to have those rings Sunday night. I don't think it's going to be close."

I get the Colts have Manning, who may very well be the greatest QB to ever play, but how can people just right off the Saints? They have a better defense, and running game. Yet, most of the "experts" don't seem to care. Don't get me wrong I think the Colts have a good chance at winning, but I really think this is going to be a very close game. Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am buying into "Who Dat" too much, but they seem like the team of destiny, and to just write them off is a terrible mistake.

Oh and fuck Tony Dungy, I am so sick of hearing him and seeing his stupid fucking face.

ESPN Going 3-D


"Sports broadcasting will enter a new dimension in 2010 ... the third dimension, as ESPN will unveil the industry's first 3-D network. ESPN 3D will showcase a minimum of 85 live sporting events during its first year, beginning June 11 with the first 2010 FIFA World Cup match, featuring South Africa vs. Mexico, ESPN and ABC Sports president George Bodenheimer announced. Other events to be produced in 3-D include the 2011 BCS National Championship Game, college basketball and football contests, up to 25 World Cup matches and the Summer X Games. Additional events will be announced at a later date.

"ESPN's commitment to 3-D is a win for fans and our business partners," Bodenheimer said in a statement. "ESPN 3D marries great content with new technology to enhance the fan's viewing experience and puts ESPN at the forefront of the next big advance for TV viewing."

ESPN has been testing ESPN 3D for more than two years, even showing a USC-Ohio State college football game in select theaters and to 6,000 fans at the Galen Center on USC's campus.

"This is a turning point for 3-D," Consumer Electronics Association CEO Gary Shapiro told USA Today (ESPN)."

Hmmm, this could be interesting. I was wondering when someone would step up and try something like this. I sounds cool, but I have a lot of questions about it. If I just want to watch the game normally will it look funny? Do I have to buy special glasses? How much better will it look? How long till we get 3-D porn?

Anyways, I'll give ESPN credit for at least trying this...
