This Is Why It's Dangerous To Shoot Live Commercial Spots

Anybody who watches ESPN for an inordinate amount of time everyday has probably seen those promotional spots for the new live SportsCenter set to launch on August 11 featuring Steve, the 25-year-old ESPN employee, being filmed in real-time in preparation for the big day. Steve beat out 100 of his fellow ESPN cohorts for the job and so far it's gone off without a hitch — until now. Turns out it looks like one of Steve's friends/roommates had a little fun with his whiteboard this morning and decided to write the word "FUCK" in full camera view. ESPN confirmed that it was an unfortunate screw-up though they still don't know exactly how it happened — but are looking into it. Right now, it doesn't appear that Steve is in jeopardy of losing his job (or any of the crew) but it does make the premise of ESPN's live SportsCenter morning show much more enticing. I hope somebody plays the same joke on Hannah Storm. ESPN F-Bomb [YepYep]
