I like Mina Kines but isn’t it an indictment of ESPN that you can’t just get sports stories on its networks or platforms anymore, you have to get the facts via *checks notes* an email blast?
Why the fuck did they keep the yellow score alert on the bottom line? Watching the Miami - Florida game, the bottom line lights up yellow in the middle of a play. Flag on the play? Nope, score alert. The Brewers knocked in a run. 2-0 in the 4th.
Also, why the fuck is the bottom line so much bigger during college football games than regular scheduled programming? There is so much wasted space at the bottom of the screen. And I dislike their programming commercial on the right side.
i only had the game on in the background so i'm not 100% certain what happened but the sideline reporter during the UNC-Pitt game just had a skit report with some sort of fan?
I usually try and cut announcers some slack because I feel like their job is a lot harder than people think. Booger is AWFUL and on ESPN’s most valuable property, the biggest night in the biggest sport in America. It’s amazing.
Jonathan Vilma just now: “Taylor is due to have a big game against Ohio State, their D has been porous against the run the last two games” Michigan: 91 yards on 26 carries Penn State: 99 yards on 36 carries
This was hilariously cringeworthy I tried to find clips of it but all i could find was this which was also hilarious #Nebraska Cornhuskers
Always love this video. Especially when herby talks about how much competition Nebraska saw in 95, they played four of the final top ten teams.
I feel confident that ‘01 Miami and ‘05 Texas would beat the shit out of the 1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers
Mora/Vilma got roasted for their disdain for the Big 12 the last week and their "lack of defense". Was pretty funny that they obviously hadn't watched a game all year for the top 2 defenses in the league. It's just wild that they are paid to do a job they obviously aren't doing, and just speaking into narratives of previous years. The OU/TCU game was 28-24. Without even knowing how the game went, he said OU's defense "was a disaster" lol. 24 points = disaster apparently, and we had a pick 6 against us, so was only 17, and gave up 250 yards. but the absolute piece de resistance: Jim Mora put hurts as the #1 QB in the playoffs and said he had no defense with him
Im not understanding how "it was hours after the news broke so we figured he already knew" is supposed to be a valid excuse. The players were kind of busy with a game during those hours so how exactly were they supposed to find out? Unless they just assume halftime is now a time used to check social media.
They should have asked someone with the team if they thought the team knew but If you asked me I’d probably assume the news got around. There’s no way all of the team was unaware. Maybe just kept the news away from the qb, which is understandable.
esmingher was on the field pregame wiping away tears in his eyes. they showed players hugging him and what appeared to be consoling him. they should have asked someone on the lsu payroll to confirm, but i'm surprised that's when he found out. i think the reporter and burrow handled it fine, and it's not as big a deal as some people seem to be making it.
Dari is one of the best imo. Given what he's been through with his child, I believe he's totally sincere in what he's saying
Had nothing to do this morning and watched Golic and wingo Jason Fitz is the fucking worst when he does his rants. Nobody gives a fuck man
I don't think he's really claiming it to be a valid excuse, just the reasoning behind his mistake. he's apologizing and taking full responsibility.
Such a sports media thing to oversell anything emotional they can. Just watch the Olympics for 15 minutes and every medal winning performance has to be inspired by a family tragedy. And that's not to take away from very real emotional life moments but it's really overdone by broadcast media imo.
Felt like an honest mistake, and I could understand why he thought Joe was aware. But with social media, everything has to be an outrage.
World champion canoeist wins doping case, citing bodily fluids from boyfriend 10:32 AM CT LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- A world champion canoeist won a doping case Monday after persuading a tribunal that her positive test was caused by bodily fluid contamination from her boyfriend. The International Canoe Federation ended its investigation into 11-time world champion Laurence Vincent Lapointe, who tested positive for a steroid-like substance in July. She faced a four-year ban and could have missed her event's Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Games. The Canadian canoe sprint racer and her lawyer detailed in a news program that laboratory analysis of hair from her then-boyfriend showed he was likely responsible for a tiny presence of ligandrol in Vincent Lapointe's doping sample. "It's pretty incredible," Vincent Lapointe's lawyer, Adam Klevinas, said at a news conference Monday in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec. "It took months to get results, and then at the end, we got the idea to analyze the hair of her ex and to test a product he finally admitted to taking." The key evidence came back from a laboratory ahead of the tribunal hearing in December called by the governing body of canoeing in Switzerland. "The ICF has accepted Ms. Vincent Lapointe's evidence which supports that she was the victim of third-party contamination," the governing body said in a statement, clearing her to return to competition. The legal debate is similar to tennis player Richard Gasquet's 2009 acquittal in the "cocaine kiss" case. The Court of Arbitration for Sport accepted Gasquet's defense that kissing a woman who had taken cocaine in a Miami nightclub, after he had withdrawn injured from a tournament, caused his positive test. Vincent Lapointe, 27, was provisionally suspended for almost six months and missed the 2019 world championships, which was a key qualifying event for the Tokyo Olympics. "You can't even imagine how relieved I am," Vincent Lapointe said at the news conference. "It feels good to put an end to this journey and just be able to concentrate on what I love and get back on the water to prepare for the [Olympics]." Vincent Lapointe can still qualify for the Olympic debut of women's canoe sprint events, with May options at races in Brazil and Germany. Monday's ruling can be challenged at CAS by the World Anti-Doping Agency if it is not satisfied with the full ruling. Gasquet's case was brought to sport's highest court by a WADA appeal seeking a longer ban.
