    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.

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

    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.

    They were showing baserunners taking leads and going nowhere instead of, you know, the pitch, on SNB last night. Did they put the interns in charge after laying off all the people who knew what they were doing?

    some say ATH was too “woke.” guess what? for a network that talks breathlessly about trumpers like eldrick, TB12,  saban, rob manfred, jack nicklaus, mike gundy, 90% of team owners, saquon, etc, etc, etc. it’s sometimes refreshing to hear people not afraid to speak out.

    ATH was an echo chamber though.  I enjoyed some of it but in the end it was who could remember the most "facts" or stats. I couldn't stand Pablo or Kines on there.

    ESPNs lack of baseball coverage is very telling.  They must not be getting paid by the MLB like the NFL is.  Also Karl Ravitch is terrible.

    They are ending their contract with MLB after this season, option out 3 years early. They clearly don't see baseball as worth covering. So, more WNBA games in future summers....yay?
