Rick Reilly continues to issue factually incorrect dad jokes: SportsCenter serving as the de facto MNF postgame show has mostly worked, minus the Rick Reilly open mic night segments. This week, on whether Tom Brady is worthy of the MVP,

"The Patriots have better Decembers than Tiffany's."

First off, that's not even the actual name of the company. Second, its fourth quarter earnings were down in 2011. Get it together, man.

Darren Rovell stopped by to answer the Johnny Football questions no one was asking: After Johnny Manziel won the Heisman, ESPN brought on Darren Rovell for a lengthy phone interview about the business implications of Manziel's accomplishment. It was an opportunity to ask interesting questions about impact a Heisman has on university donations, jersey sales, and overall enthusiasm for a program. Instead, almost all of Rovell's three-plus minutes were spent on who has the rights to the Johnny Football trademark.

The NHL drought continues: Steve Levy was able to sneak in a 15-second NHL lockout update at the end of Monday's broadcast, good enough to keep the NHL from being shut out in coverage yet again. From June 15 (the week after the Stanley Cup final) through Dec. 13, hockey has received 18 total minutes of coverage on the SportsCenter, which amounts to 0.2 percent.
