Haha, I actually watched the last few frames of the College Women's National Bowling Championship. Maryland Eastern Shore College vs. Fairleigh Dickinson. Apparently both of them and Nebraska are the women's college bowling powerhouses, they've each won 3 national titles since '94. Or something like that. Some of the girls were scary intense.

ESPN is having a 3 hour show dedicated to the release of the NFL schedule.

4/16/2012 5:53:44 PM

At least it's something NFL related.

I'll take that over most of the other sports new anytime.

4/16/2012 5:54:48 PM

I'd rather watch skip bayless drone on for three hours then try to discuss next years schedule for three fucking hours. That's something that needs no more than a press release. At least until, you know, after training camp when you know who will actually be on the teams.

I know ESPN is trying to protect the image of the NFL. But not reporting Seau's death is a little pathetic.

5/2/2012 2:59:17 PM

they aren't shying away from it

you don't just report these things on a whim

you have to confirm, especially when you're at the top of the food chain like they are

^ there's an unspoken rule that suicides aren't reported

5/2/2012 3:03:59 PM

Every other news source is reporting it.

5/2/2012 3:04:07 PM

I haven't seen it comfirmed anywhere other than TMZ, and that's kind of their thing

and how are they protecting the image of the NFL by talking non-stop about the Saints bounty program?

[Edited on May 2, 2012 at 3:10 PM. Reason : it's all a giant conspiracy ]

5/2/2012 3:08:23 PM

^my thought exactly.

5/2/2012 3:09:35 PM

Saw it on the front page of yahoo and CBS sports.

All of their reporting on bounty-gate has been strongly in favor of the NFL. Their bias in reporting towards their current programming is nothing new and is hardly a conspiracy. If you don't see that, I don't know what to tell you.

5/2/2012 3:14:10 PM

Speaking of TMZ

ESPN's top MLB story is Josh Beckett playing golf

Goddammit

Bomani Jones just had a rant about people not knowing the diff between Raleigh and Charlotte

5/10/2012 5:31:33 PM

Fuck Charlotte. I'd rather he have a rant on Raleigh not being Durham.

5/10/2012 6:04:03 PM

apex is just made he still hasn't gotten the green recycling cans we got in Charlotte 5 years ago

5/10/2012 6:13:35 PM

You can have those little ass green tubs. I got a full size roll out recycle bin.



Drops mic. BOOM!

[Edited on May 10, 2012 at 6:17 PM. Reason : .]

5/10/2012 6:17:02 PM

i thought can implied a roll out, ie a garbage can, not a garbage bin

either way you apparently arent one of the triangle residents who still hasn't gotten their big green rollouts, as is discussed in the thread in The Lounge

[Edited on May 10, 2012 at 6:19 PM. Reason : drops mic]

5/10/2012 6:18:28 PM

I thought you meant those green tubs. My roll out is brown. The roll out green ones are for trash, bro.

I've had a rollout recycle bin for like 3 years. Raleigh is always behind Cary.

[Edited on May 10, 2012 at 6:22 PM. Reason : .]

5/10/2012 6:19:50 PM

rollouts for trash in my neighborhood are gray, recycling rollouts are either blue or green

clearly there is no state-wide consistency

5/10/2012 6:22:26 PM

I saw that Bomani piece. High Comedy. Given the choice, who in their right mind would lay claim to anywhere in the Triangle over the greatest city in the Southeast?

5/10/2012 6:25:20 PM

Damn. Sick burn. "Charlotte is this close to south carolina" ahaha

the 2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee is neither Sports Programming nor Entertainment Programming

5/31/2012 9:05:30 PM

they've always broadcast it and it most certainly is entertainment

with that said, there is a motherfucking playoff basketball game on right now

5/31/2012 9:17:04 PM

they always broadcast poker too, and i think thats boring as hell to watch

5/31/2012 9:20:09 PM

if it was on ABC like the championship round has been every year until this year, it'd probably beat the NBA game in the ratings

[Edited on May 31, 2012 at 9:20 PM. Reason : people watch this. I usually do for strange reason. ]
