ESPN probably values reporters/insiders like Shefter , Mort, and Stephen A Smith more as entertainers rather than informants. ESPN could probably care less about any columns they write. It’s the ratings or popularity they produce on the various half-hour shows, and SportsCenter segments that will keep them around.

They should sign Iverson next and build a Dynasty.

It could simply be a letdown game. Blue jays coming off 3 straight wins buried in an 0-2 hole. Emotional comeback win in game 5. Not hard to see a great team lay an egg right after.

Speaking of Wal-Mart shoppers

I remember not too long ago when I could name every bowl game, and they all had a lot of anticipation and meaning. Forty bowls are scheduled this year its gotten pointless.

Ah, the Wal-Mart Wolverines have returned with a vengeance this year.

At least it wasn’t a reckless white Bronco.

This is a teachable moment. Always hold on to the Nissan’s, Toyota’s, and Mazda’s until you sign the second contract.

While the ball is dead no player may be put out, no bases may be run and no runs may be scored, except that runners may advance…

Charging the mound has consequences.

Hopefully the little tyke can pass the concussion protocol.

“We will get you out 75% of the time if you’re GOOD. We will jump and scream on the mound and stomp back to the dugout if we ring you up in a key situation, or whenever we want, really. But, if you are happy about one of the best moments of your life, we will throw a ball at potentially fatal speeds at your head,…

They should investigate if having to watch Fanduel and DraftKings commercials five times an hour is considered a cruel and unusual punishment to my eyeballs.
