HOSED
ESPN is currently traveling across the United States for their "Sportscenter 50 States/50 Days" promotion. Last night, they were in Nampa, Idaho for the Snake River Stampede. The tour will hit Hood River, Oregon on July 25 (U.S. Windsurfing National Championships) and Seattle on July 29 (Freestyle Frisbee Championships). Arkansas will be represented on July 30 with cardboard boat racing in Heber Springs. At least the event in Arkansas won't be a Hog calling competition.
Has anybody realized that the theme song, "Open Road", is sung by a Canadian? That Canadian is none other than Bryan Adams. How does this make sense? ESPN is touring the United States, not Canada. It's the little things like these that bother me. Why, I don't know.
The family of networks is also giving Stephen A. Smith his own show, "Quite Frankly", premiering August 1 on ESPN 2. Quite frankly, I don't know what to think about this. Then again, this is the same company that values taped poker over live sports. Is it such a bad thing to air live baseball on Tuesday nights?
Bryan Adams, Stephen A. Smith, and the World Series Of Poker. I'd say that's the triangle of hell. Of course, if you add Stuart Scott to the mix, it would be the square of hell. I digress.
