Presenting The ESPN Intern Application
The mind boggles when one considers the responsibilities of an ESPN intern. (We suspect it's a little more relaxed now that Salisbury's gone.)

When ESPN Says "Leap," You Say "How High A Cliff?"
We had an old friend who worked at a local television station in Illinois, and he always said the worst part of his job was when something important enough happened locally that the national network affiliate took notice. They would be demanding and gruff and generally unreasonable, acting like the ...
Media Approval Ratings: Trey Wingo
Trey Wingo's real name, in case you're wondering, is Hal Chapman Wingo III. Our family's naming conventions require the son to name his first son after his father, which means our name is William Franklin Leitch III, and our father's is William Bryan Leitch II. We've tried to come up with a good nic...

Who, Exactly, Is Searching "Greatest Highlight" On ESPN.com?
It surprised many that, according to ESPN's metrics, the most commonly searched term on their site for the month of February was "Greatest Highlight."

Nicole Manske Will One Day Rule The World
So you probably new that NASCAR has its own Erin Andrews (although I prefer the original). But did you know that Nicole Manske has her sights set on the NFL? Manske, a former Miss Illinois Teen USA and native of Rockton, Ill. (where she was a high school cheerleader on the same squad with Danica Pat...
