ESPN Trims SportsCenter Fat

In case you were having difficulty spreading out your hate among all the SportsCenter anchors, take heart: They're making it more concentrated for you. In a move that had been anticipated, ESPN announced yesterday that it's going to three two-man teams. And "two-man teams" is accurate too; it's all dudes.

Beginning Monday, "SportsCenter" viewers will get Dan Patrick and Fred Hickman for the 5 p.m. show, John Anderson and Steve Levy at 10 p.m. and Neil Everett and Scott Van Pelt at midnight. The latter two teams will flip time slots each month.

It's important to streamline; otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to find screen time for Nick Lachey.
