I watched that Moose game start-to-finish surrounded by my extended family which is full of Red Sox fans. I hate Carl Everett more than possibly any other Red Sox player simply for that hit. He doesn’t deserve my hate as much as many other sox players, but goddamnit I just can’t let it go.

we call this the acceptance phase

If you’re so firmly conservative that your mind goes immediately to “ESPN’s liberal agenda is killing them!”, you are likely a strong supporter of Fox News. If you have Fox News, you have cable. And if you have cable...you’re paying ESPN like $80 a year even if you never touch the channel.

Before choosing to watch my favorite team on television, I, like most sports fans, apply a strict political litmus test on the ideological philosophy of the network broadcasting the game.

Their liberal agenda of showing sports with so many colored players has really hurt ESPN’s standing with conservatives.

Too late, the noxious meme has been pumped into the dead-ender closed-loop ecosystem, where it will linger until the heat death of the universe. It is now beyond our reach, and it’s our job to recognize that arguing with your uncle or your redneck high school classmate about it on Facebook is wasted time in its purest…

Um yeah, they were pretty liberal about spending money on exclusive TV rights to events.

Mark’s gonna teach him all the places where the high school juniors and seniors party. “I love titties too, Mitch.”

“You see what mark’s doing, you just go out there are do the exact opposite”

He gets to learn behind Mike Glennon AND Mark Fucking Sanchez.

I was with you, Rich, I swear. Until I found out the human life in question was Mandy Moore’s. You are asking too much of me, Rich. We simply cannot allow the charming star of Chasing Liberty to be eaten by a shark. She is the best of all of us.

One of the problems ESPN’s Darren Rovell points out

Brent to Grayson is a lateral move.

He is, to steal a famous phrase from another great ESPNer, as cool as the other side of the pillow.

SVP is the anti-Berman. ESPN lucked the fuck out the day they hired him. Not saying he was always great - it took him some time to grow into what he is now - but damn if he isn’t the best part of the network for the past several years.

Has anyone thought about what a hazard it is to be playing with all this fucking ice on the floor?

Whoa, c’mon man. It’s a hockey game. If there’s a stretcher, you KNOW that guy needs a hospital.

I can’t wait to see what ESPN’s NHL reporters to have to say about this.

Hockey misses Gary Thorne. I miss Gary Thorne. So say we all.

This guy has been employed by Fox for the entire duration of their Obama Derangement Syndrome plus the whole of the last election and he’s only just realizing the place was hella racist?
