My favorite sport, capable of stealing a good six hours of my day on the right lazy Saturday or Sunday. Well, ESPN and its family of networks is sorely tempting me today/tonight/tomorrow, with TWENTY-FOUR HOURS of consecutive live college hoops action (games in places like Hawaii allow for the late/early weird start times).
I’m watching Syracuse vs. Richmond as we speak, and reminiscing about Richmond’s dramatic No. 15 over No. 2 win over the Orange back in the ’80s. At the top of the screen, ESPN is streaming messages left in the reader comments section at ESPN360.com. It’s funny/bad/ridiculous enough to read the gross misspellings and ludicrous statements made by anonymous posters when you’re actually online. But on my TV screen? Comedy gold. And what’s even funnier is that ESPN presumably culls messages to get the very best ones, the comments that lack profanities and have something useful to say.
My favorite so far:
The 3-point shot is the great equalizer in college basketball. It allows for so much parody between the big boys and the mid-majors.
Parody indeed. You go, WWL!
