Golf Rant

We wonder why soccer doesn't thrive in the US, then I turn to ESPN for the Barcelona or ManU/Chelsea Champions League Quarter Finals...and what's on GOLF?! Better yet..a Par 3 Challenge? A bunch of old dudes wearing polos and goofy pants, who make someone else carry their clubs during their leisurely walk which is occasionally interrupted when they stop to hit a ball...which no one knows where it goes til another man wanders over to find it. A "sport" where the landscaping is more interesting than the athleticism being displayed and fans aren't even really supposed to cheer. At a course that just allowed its first black member in 1990 and is still "No girls allowed!" Lol..REALLY??!

Game! Blouses.

Shout out to ESPN's Robert Flores from dropping this Chappelle reference on SportsCenter:

ESPN sets up in LA!!

Broadcasts from ESPN's new west coast studios at L.A. Live are set to kick off on April 6, according to a massive display facing drivers on Figueroa. The facility will be home to the late-night Sportscenter broadcast, airing at 1am on the east coast and 10pm locally.

The network announced last month that anchors Neil Everett and Stan Verrett will be moving from Bristol, Conn., to L.A. to headline the broadcast, which will also replay from 6am - 9am on the east coast. The pair will be joined in the move by anchor Stuart Scott, who will work out of the Los Angeles bureau.

The facility includes two studios, one dedicated to Sportscenter, and two control rooms. Underneath the studio is the L.A. Live ESPN Zone, which will offer patrons a live view of what's going on in the studios above.
