If there wasn't a 30 for 30 features on OJ murdering his wife and Ronald Goldman, would ESPN and every other sports network give two shits about his parole hearing?

"We interrupt the President's speech to bring you this breaking development in the OJ Simpson case..."   

Yes.  Absolutely.

OJ Simpson was the most beloved athlete of his day.  If Michael Jordan goes to prison, do you think his parole hearing would be on ESPN?  That is the level of athlete OJ Simpson was, and yes he'd be on ESPN if there was no documentary.

Yes.  Absolutely. 

Driving home from work today the news stations on XM were giving me flashbacks to 1994/1995.  All of em were broadcasting the parole hearing live.

Is that just the Mouse or all channels?

Spread out.   CBS got a little over 3M, ABC got around 2 1/2 or so. Fox News got over a million.

Now I'm spending way too much time trying to decide which Wings song would be best as their opening music.

"Wonderful Christmas Time"

Just to fuck with everybody.

I'm pretty sure that WFTDA game is Rose City vs. Gotham, since it was the 2016 Championships final. If so, that was pretty good.

Im pretty sure that's the game where you throw the little bean bag in the hole. I've only ever seen it at tailgating

Yes - Bags is the PC name for Cornhole

Yeah I am pretty sure you have to go to Xvideos or Pornhub if you are actually looking for the 2017 Championship of Cornhole.  Not that I am familiar with those particular sites :ph34r:

Trampoline dodgeball sounds kind of interesting if guys are doing goofy flips before throwing the ball

Eh... this is close enough to sports media

DC's Verizon Center (aka home of the Wizards and Capitals) will officially become Capital One Arena

The change is effective immediately so FYI for the upcoming seasons
