ESPN - It Doesn't Always Suck

By: Harvey

Poor ESPN. The booyah network had to pick between two press conferences today, opting to duck away from the Tedy Bruschi retirement presser to look in on the Rick Rodriguez "we don't cheat" speech.

Frankly, I'm shocked they opted away from an east coast news story to something going on in Ann Arbor, but we are talking about the train wreck otherwise known as Michigan football.

Luckily, they got back to the Foxborough feed in plenty of time to hear most of Tedy's comments. As it turns out, we only missed the words of Bill "Mr. Personality" Belichick. Big loss.

All in all, a pretty good half-hour of TV. Quite a surprise, considering the fact that it happened during SportsCenter, which has found itself pretty lame in comparison to lot of other sports programming after years and years of being the coolest kid on the block.

Just goes to show that even ESPN doesn't suck all the time. God bless 'em . . . At least until Johnny Damon takes a shit. Or Alex Rodriguez strikes out twice in a game. Then it'll be their leading story and I'll remember why I love to hate them.
