    When Death Will Be Merciful

    If your excitement still hasn't died down from the 30,000th "SportsCenter" special earlier this week, you're in luck: Only four more years until SportsCenter 35,000!

    Over at The Serious Tip, they've done some insane calculations. If you catch a break, you'll live to see the 100,000th "SportsCenter."

    After doing all that math, I began to wonder, barring accident, injury, or a game of global thermonuclear war gone awry, will I live long enough to see the 100,000th airing of SportsCenter? Using the most recent average of SportsCenter airings per day (3.06), SportsCenter should pass its remaining 5K milestones on the following dates:

    SportsCenter 35K - July 29, 2011
    SportsCenter 40K - January, 16, 2016
    SportsCenter 50K - December 22, 2024
    SportsCenter 75K - April 20, 2047
    SportsCenter 100K - August 21, 2069

    That would make us 93 years old. We don't think we're gonna make it. Thank God.
