Of course it was. They should have included it in the deal for Pac-Man

Oh, wow. Gotta love the Entirely Self Promoting Network. It's seemingly gone the way of CNN/Fox News/etc...it's on 24/7/365, so we have to fill it with something, right?

are you saying that when the Titans asked what they'd give up for Pacman, they should have just said "no"?

I'm not a Cowboys fan, and my girlfriend is a Redskins fan - I would have liked to see Dallas way overpay to get him.

I'm upping this thread on the occasion of the fantastic poll that is currently on espn.com:
<img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/DarthIntegral/whatespn.png">
(for the record SN as a whole favors Yes over No by 64%, with Texas at a whopping 79%. Only Montana, Idaho, New Mexico and Alaska think No has the better talent/fit for the Cowboys)
Hey, I've seen Yes play college ball, and he's certainly a good pick. No was slightly inconsistent.

No has tremendous upside potential. They should have taken the chance on him.

Bumping this on account of one of today's Top Ten Plays being a commercial for the horrible ABC television show "Whipeout".
We get it. You want us to watch the show. Your target audience would rather watch MXC. So don't use the Top 10 on SportsCenter to air a commercial for the show. Just cancel it, we know it's coming.

ESPN is awful. Yesterday two of their personalities were going on about how the Tampa Bay Rays success is absolutely terrible and a nightmare scenario for Major League Baseball because they're "eating into the Red Sox and Yankees marketing revenue."

It won't necessarily hurt the Red Sox or Yankees (I believe all 30 teams split it evenly) but it will hurt the MLBs ad revenue in the playoffs if TB makes it to the WS and 'big market' teams like NY, Boston and even Chicago don't.
It's definitely not a 'nightmare scenario' but it is definitely not a preferred scenario for MLB.
Not that I give 2 cr*ps what MLB thinks or wants. As long as the 2 best teams are there (and one of them is the Red Sox  ) I'm fine with it.

That's what Wormie really meant. Or at least, my interpretation of Wormie's intention.
But back to the topic at hand...I watched yesterday's late night edition of SportsCenter. I was completely astounded by Steve Levy's lack of knowledge regarding the guy the NBA hired to oversee the officials. Apparently he didn't know that Ron Johnson was from the Army Corps of Engineers, not the regular army. I can understand the confusion - a lot of people on the ESPN board didn't know what was going on. But I would hope that a SportsCenter anchor could figure out the differences by 1am.

Stop putting words in my mouth (or fingers in this case). Especially the "Y" word.

Congratulations! You must be so excited that your team is 5 games over .500 and 7.5 games back. BTW, the Yankees have fared no better against TB this year than Boston has.
