    Coverage of the NYC Marathon today sucked.

    Women's race: "Not as sexy this year;" "ten runners in the lead pack, maybe four of them are elite;" "they're painfully slow." As if dude could hang with them even for a mile. Women's race heated up with less than two miles to go -- so they cut to commercials, of course. At one point they had a split screen, and BOTH shots were of the men's race. The women's field had more depth and was more interesting, but this was what we got.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    sub 6:00 pace for 26.3 miles…you’re right, the commentator dude probably couldn’t hang.

    I grew up reading Whitlock in the Kansas City Star.  Not a popular guy in that city alone.  It’s pretty bad when Skip Bayless doesn’t want you on his show.

    a different kind of ESPN suck are the draft gurus.

    Sam Ponder.  
    She is great.  
    Agree that Hannah Grill Storm getting a pass is bullshit.
    RGIII was not great.

    Mort was part of the team when ESPN was watchable and actually informative. God bless and RIP.

    How Ravitch has a job in Baseball tonight is astounding.

    Why ESPN doesn't bring back the old style baseball tonight and show highlights is exactly why Baseball viewing is down...  Bobby Witt Jr highlights should be posted every single day for him.
