With the expansion of sports television coverage, each TV network has aimed to make its broadcast presentation the best and most memorable in the business by creating theme music for each sport. Here is a list of the top 10 sports theme songs in recent memory.
I don’t usually watch “ESPN First Take.” However, I’ve never had a real problem with what they do every morning. But the wonderful Rob Parker said something today that I just simply could not avoid getting angry about (surprise surprise).
ESPN’s Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, and Teddy Bruschi had some fun on Friday’s NFL Kickoff, finding creative ways to incorporate references to the 1987 classic The Princess Bride into their analysis.
On Friday, Around the Horn celebrated its 10th anniversary with an epic 30-minute episode. If you missed it, watch it, because it’s a great tribute to the best show television has to offer.

Skip Bayless’ idiotic comments about Derek Jeter and PEDs inspired not only an incredible feature image and article from FOX Sports, but also my favorite personal Twitter exchange of all-time.
I didn’t think it was possible, but I was wrong. My opinion of Skip Bayless has somehow sunk even lower. Not surprisingly, it’s because of something moronic he said.
Did anyone else watch the video Jerod posted of Mark Cuban obliterating Skip Bayless Friday morning on ESPN2? Wow. It was so good I had to post about it too and break down the great points Cuban made.
The only video involving Skip Bayless worth watching is when someone who can speak with intelligence about sports takes Bayless to the sports debate woodshed. That is exactly what Mark Cuban did today.
Steve Kubitza reviews Mark Titus’ Don’t Put Me In, Coach, a humorous book about his life as a benchwarmer at The Ohio State University.
