If ESPN ends up winning the rights to broadcast the Olympics in 2014 and 2016, they might just finally own everything there is when it comes to sports.
However, this guy isn’t complaining.
During a Monday Night Football kick-off press event, ESPN chief George Bodenheimer said that they are very interested in future Olympic rights and then went on to state how their broadcasts would differ from what NBC has done.
We begin episode one of Hard Knocks (2008) Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys with shots of Jason Witten, Tony Romo, and Martellus Bennett leaving their homes and families. Blah, blah, blah. They have more money than you and I do combined so their houses are big and fancy. Yada yada yada… yeah, your families will miss you but not your money.
We rarely talk about sports on Pop Critics, but when interesting news arises from that world, it must be passed on.
Especially because I love sports. I love ESPN, Pardon the Interruption, ESPNews and of course, SportsCenter.
I know my unborn child isn’t due until December, but I really think I deserve a Father’s Day gift anyways.
And I have the perfect thing.
ESPN is coming out with the coolest looking, feature-packed remote control that I’ve ever seen. It’s got a friggin’ web browser in it and has wireless capabilities.
The first thing I did when I got up on Sunday morning, was let the dogs out and turn on the TV. Not sure if that is different than any other morning, but whatever.
It was time to see ESPNewsHD in the flesh!
I recorded the first two broadcasts of ESPNewsHD off ESPNHD since I don’t have the new channel yet, hopefully you guys did the same. If you didn’t, it also showed on ESPN2HD a few more times on Sunday.
The only reason I don’t watch as much of ESPNews as I used to is because I’ve become an HD Snob, as my wife likes to put it, and rarely do I find myself watching something that isn’t in high-def.
Well in case you all forgot, we mentioned back in late December that ESPNewsHD would launch [...]
Thanks to Kory for sending in this little tidbit…
As you may have heard, Will Ferrell has a new movie coming out called Semi-Pro, a comedy sports movie that spoofs the old ABA teams before the days of NBA basketball.
In this little ESPN video, Bill Walton dresses up in a pretty good replica of how he [...]
One of my favorite shows on television right now isn’t scripted and it isn’t on regular TV and not even primetime. It’s Pardon the Interruption on ESPN which is on every afternoon at 5:30pm EST.
To me, it’s like Oprah for men. They run down the list of the hot topics in sports and give awesome, [...]
One of my favorite channels is ESPNews, but ever since I joined the HD world, I haven’t really watched it as much since I’m prone to surf the high-def stations instead. Back in October I passed on to you guys that it wouldn’t be until March until they finally came out with ESPNews in high [...]
