There's been a lot of talk about the Sorkin Big Speech, and rightly so as his last show was historically awful and his current one seems to be built entirely of podiums. But the thing about Sports Night is that when it initially aired, there was no such thing at the Big Speech. Hadn't been done before. We see it now…

BANJO!!!!

It bothers me that CSC is showing MLS highlights on November 23. The season's been over for a month at this point (MLS Cup was October 25).

Surprised the Joan Rivers tolerability issue isn't her appearance in that energy shot commercial. Thirty seconds of incomprehensible WTF that I'm stuck watching because I prefer my European soccer to be live. It's timed to make me think they're trying to be funny but there isn't even anything shaped like a joke in it.…

Precisely. In this era, MLS games were essentially paid programming in that ESPN wasn't paying the league for the broadcast rights, but MLS was footing the bill for the personnel. Rebroadcast fees weren't much, but did have a material impact on the league's revenue for the 2001 season.
