    The goal is not exactly to destroy local media, so much as co-opt it.

    Hope that ESPNewOrleans coverage doesn't drown out the local media.

    ESPNBinghamton is still a step up from ESPNBristol. I hear they've got a Dave & Buster's in BInghamton!

    So ESPN is becoming a local news source for the Lakers, Knicks, Yankees, Mets, and Cowboys.

    Wait, how's this different?

    "only the 'first inning' of their effort to provide hyperlocal sports coverage in cities across the country."

    Glenn Beck thinks this sounds like slam dunk on the 4th down face off!

    Could it be that both of the city's newspapers are about to close, they see a need in the market, and are trying to fill it.

    Yep, Chicago has the only annoying fans in the country. Nobody obnoxious in NY. No asshats in Philly or Boston. And no pathetic whiners in Detroit. Thanks for clearing that up. Now go home and get your shine box.
