Rich Eisenโ€™s โ€˜SportsCenterโ€™ return was a beautiful turn back the clock moment The last time Rich Eisen hosted an episode of SportsCenter, LeBron James was still a few weeks away from being drafted.

Good news to save money on pass thru games and have even less original shows/content.

Matt Barrie and Christine Williamson-hosted โ€˜SportsCenterโ€™ will fill โ€˜Around the Hornโ€™ timeslot As soon as ESPN announced that it was canceling Around the Horn, the big question was what it would fill the 5:00-5:30 p.m. ET timeslot with. The Worldwide Leader reportedly negotiated with Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon to extend Pardon the Interruption but that never came to fruition.

I don't understand the shock that the last 3 finals have been the most watched. They switched from on ESPN against Sunday night baseball (sometimes ESPN2 instead of ESPN) to ABC in the afternoon with no direct competition. The channel switch alone accounts for about 4 m. more viewers

It is the third year that UConn has come to the Pacific Northwest for the NCAA Tournament super regional.

The experience hasnโ€™t gotten any more pleasant for UConn coach Geno Auriemma.
