    Unfortunately, the TVs that I'm around in the morning (kitchen & bedroom) only have expanded basic. Digital is only in the great room and basement. So I'm stuck with Sportscenter (NBA & Tebow!) or Mike & Mike.

    Mike & Mike it is. They're tolerable, I'm just sick of the Tebow circle-jerk. Earlier in the year it was All Vick, All The Time!

      Today on First Take:

      Jemelle Hill says the Colts should take RG3 because he's black. Ok, she didn't come out and say it, but it's the reason why.
      Then more Tebow talk! This time going in depth on God and how it affects his game.

        I don't mind Mike & Mike. One just has to keep in mind that they have drank the Mothership's Kool-aid so there is going to be that overtone on what they are covering. They get good guests for the most part so that is the main reason why I listen to them.

        They are better than that jerk-off Colin Cowherd.

          I think I'd chose silence or whatever Law and Order re-run TNT is showing in the morning.

                Her hatred goes beyond race. She goes for ethnicity, city of origin...anything to throw a wedge into an issue. Why ESPN still employs her is beyond me.

                Jemele once compared rooting for the Celtics to rooting for Hitler (in WW2) or the Russians (Cold War). She also encouraged Packers fans to throw batteries at Brett Favre when he returned to Lambeau as a Viking. She has a rather lengthy history if you care to use Google.

                  She is a sportswriter who loves to pull out the racism card on almost any issue, and when she doesn't lay it on the table she'll try to sneak it into the deck (ala the RG3 topic). She is probably the worst journalist out there, but she brings controversy which brings ratings, so that's why they keep her.

                  Unfortunately she went to MSU. Luckily she doesn't promote it very often.

                      Nice article here about the mothership becoming too big for it's britches.

                      Also, I understand the need to show the last playoff encounter between the Giants and Niners to give background, but to give it 3 minutes is a little insane. Anything to keep the NHL off I guess.

                        ESPN still recognizing Fighting Sioux as UND's nickname. Said it on the Not Top Ten during the post game fight with Minnesota. Not really a complaint, I think it's pretty cool actually.

                          Chris Kluwe has taken aim at Skip Bayless on Twitter, and he's not pulling any punches. It is quite awesome.
