    They're showing "Pickleball Slam" on it now. Featuring former tennis greats John McEnroe, Andre Aggasi, Andy Roddick and Michael Chang. I don't get the hype on it though :neutral:
    It’s a very dead time for real sports. I think the only baseball ESPN can do is sunday night(?)

    ESPN has every opportunity to hype up baseball and its stars but for whatever reason does not. Even the Sunday Night baseball show is lackluster.  It is a perfect spot to showcase what happened during the week in a better light but it's just horrible for me.  Fox does really well with it though.

    maybe…but Fox’ pre-game crew is cringeworthy.

    I enjoy Arods commentary.  Jeter I've always liked.   Poppi is ok.  I can't stand Karl Ravitch so as long as he isn't on there i'm good.

    Damn Suzy was awesome.  Plus I'll always remember Joe Namath drunk off of his ass "strug-il-ling" to kiss her.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    She'll be missed.

    Suzy WILL be missed. Keyshawn, not so much. I can think of many women (and men) at ESPN I would have canned before Suzy.

    Reminds me of a joke...

    ESPN honcho to Suzy: I can't decide whether to lay you or Jack off.

    Suzy: Better jack off; I have a headache.

    can ESPN not afford salaries? I would guess the bottom line is doing just fine.

    I’d be OK with letting Chris Berman go.

    For the summertime sports blues, I recommend Aussie football, aka footy. Incredible sport, and runs concurrently with MLB as its winter in Australia now. So for fans of MLB teams that typically disappear by July 4th (like my NY Mess again this year), footy is there all summer. The rules can be tricky, especially for tackling, but the sport is non stop action.

    ESPN8 the Ocho is back for a few days. Right now I'm watching omegaball. Looks like three team soccer played on a smaller field.

    It was under 18 kids and they were good!  Had one kid that "rolled" his bags in.  Never saw that before.

    Isn't "junior cornhole" illegal in 49 states?
    Must have been being broadcast from Alabammy.
