The Final Death Knell For ESPN Mobile
We know you don't need us to occasionally remind you just how much of a disaster ESPN Mobile has been for the Worldwide Leader ... but we thought we'd go ahead and try anyway....
Whitlock Tells Us How He Really Feels About Scoop
In case there were any lingering doubt what ESPN.com columnist Jason Whitlock thinks of ESPN.com columnist Scoop Jackson, allow Whitlock's Kansas City Star column should clear it up for you. In a column about a study showing how white the sports journalism industry is and what that means, or doesn...
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ......
Come On Down And Boo Our Guests!
You know how audience coordinators at "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" are always trolling Web message boards trying to get people to come to their shows? Well, now it's getting rather extreme....
Get Drunk With ESPN
We've been waiting for someone to come up with a definitive ESPN drinking game, and even though this might not be the definitive one, it's pretty close. Here's a fun "Pardon The Interruption" sampling:...
Sklar Brothers Poll Maddeningly Inconclusive
Well, we've closed our poll on the Sklar brothers, and, much to our frustration, it didn't really tell us much at all....
Gammons Out Of The Hospital
Excellent news: ESPN's Peter Gammons is out of the hospital and entering a rehabilitation center. It has been three weeks since his brain aneurysm, and his wife says he and his doctors are pleased with the progress he has been making....
So, Are The Sklar Brothers Funny, Or Not?
Inspired by Bill Simmons' apparent declaration of war on Sklar brothers last week and one of them randomly showing up on "Entourage" last night, we felt it was probably time to get a definitive answer to the question: Are the Sklar Brothers funny?...
Can You Even Call It A "Red Carpet" If It's Just For The ESPYs?
See these poor souls? They're the sad sacks who ended up sitting in the heat during the ESPYs Red Carpet Show, which, if you're extremely lonely and sad, you'll be watching this Sunday night. We can't imagine what would be worse than having to sweat and watch Stuart Scott refer to the night "of ph...
Stepping In The Ole Way-Back Machine
OK, so this is three years old, apropos of nothing — other than baseball finally coming back tonight — and has probably been seen by a lot of you. But someone just sent it to us, and even if you have seen it, it's still worth a revisit....
Your Child Can Be Swaddled In Bristol Wear
Sometimes, we wonder if there's any way we could find a gift for one of our friends' children that might assure that he be beaten up on a semi-regular basis. Hmm. Perhaps if one could combine the hip, cutting-edge stylings of ESPN and sweatshop-stitched shoddy garb of J.C. Penny's....
The Post Where We Ruin The ESPY Suspense
Desperate to find out what happened at the ESPYs last night? Can't wait for Sunday? Just can't believe that they'd make you sit around that long? We feel your pain! We do! We've spent hours already frantically analyzing our "Best Male" cheat sheets, and we can't take it anymore....
Spend The Day With Stephen A. (Kinda)
We all know it's not particularly difficult to get tickets to "Quite Frankly" tapings — a guy we know in New York for the summer has gone three times already, and he's been here, like, a month; we have no idea why he keeps putting himself through this — but that doesn't mean a meet-and-greet with ...
Summer Reading
Aside from being a full-time Vladimir Putin lookalike, ESPN executive vice predsident of content John Skipper likes to read. Or so claims SportsBusiness Journal, which quizzed a dozen or so sports executives and CEO types on what books they would be taking with them on summer vacation. Skipper cho...
The Real Reason The ESPYs Exist
You might think the ESPYs are pointless. You might think they're a blight on humanity. You might think they're everything that's wrong with a network that we all remember being the centerpiece of our lives at some point. You might wonder why they continue with this charade every year....
Chris Berman's Big Night
Well, the day you've been dreading has arrived: It's Chris Berman's yearly night to shine. Of all Berman's glucose-drenched warblings, he is never worse than he is tonight, during the Home Run Derby. It's the event that Berman was born to host: Nothing but spectacle, thunder and bluster. Home runs...
Hey, Look Who's Hiring
Anybody out there looking for a job? As long as you're not a voyeur or anything, you too can work for ESPN Page 2....
ESPN And Its Lack Of Properly Ordered Ducks
Since a lot of you probably weren't working on Monday — like we were — you might have missed this: ESPN announced that it wants to be the MySpace of sports by hosting fan sports blogs on its site come September. Ignoring the failed MLBlogs model on this — though it kinda seems like they're just st...
Tony Kornheiser ... Dance Off!
Forgive us, we've been traveling for a few days and have missed a couple episodes of "Pardon The Interruption." Could someone please explain what Tony Kornheiser is doing here?...
