It's Not Crazy, It's Sports - Love it

ESPN is known for it's great commercials.  Years ago they even put out a DVD of their best spots and I bought it.

Now they have this one with the Eagles fan.  Hope the band Orleans is making a nice penny for the use of their song.

ESPN and Tennis Channel Share Broadcast Studio

 

One of the great things about the Olympus U.S. Open Series is the fans really get involved in the action leading up to the U.S. Open.

ESPN2 and Tennis Channel share the broadcasting duties, and they share the broadcast studio tent that is adjacent to Stadium Court.  This is a great idea and I'm glad it's done the entire run to Flushing Meadows.  The winning players are pulled off the court still dripping with sweat seconds after shaking hands and get to do a quick or sometimes a longer interview, as happened yesterday with Kevin Anderson's match and Tennis Channel still having 30 minutes to fill. 

The Atlanta fans love this as evidenced by all the Georgia Bulldog fans barking when John Isner was being interviewed.

It’s Time to Leave Erin Andrews Alone

 

Ok, I think everyone has had their fun with the Erin Andrews situation. On no less than three Atlanta radio stations, in a five minute span, they played her 911 call to local police after reporters were seen in her gated community, and it made a difficult situation even worse for the ESPN reporter.

When Andrews mentioned in her 911 call that they are treating her like Britney Spears she was not far from the truth. Why there hasn’t been more vocal support for Andrews is troubling to me. She has done nothing wrong, and she is the victim of being videotaped naked in her hotel room. I’ve even heard some of her colleague’s even say that she is to blame.

Andrews right is on a break from her ESPN duties and while she is absent until the start of college football season everyone needs to giver her some space and let her address it on her own timetable. I can’t imagine how she feels; I would be scared and paranoid the next time I checked into a hotel room. I’m sure she might be terrified.

For he times being, lets everyone leave her alone and out of the news.
