    Does anyone know how those people got ESPN cameras in their house for the game Monday night? They didn't seem excited at all so I figured it was just pre-shot clips they do.

    Didn't Rece Davis do that gay shit where he dresses up like a judge and hands down "rulings?"

    one of the worst things ESPN has ever done IMO

    Good chance this has been said, but I'm behind in here and annoyed enough to say again:

    There's an article on the front page of espn right now about AJ McCarron's girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, she's fine, but in the article is this quote.

    And it goes on to talk about her twitter for a few more paragraphs. Great reporting, espn

    its getting worse i think. they ran a little clip on rex ryan the other day, and on the picture thing they have up in the corner was a random picture of tebow along with ryan. then they did a little interview with ryan that didn't mention tebow at all so i was like wat does tebow have to do with this story at all? then they showed tebow running off the practice field in the rain without his shirt on and they said that a promising season that started with tebow running off the practice field ended 6-10 for the jets

    DEFINITELY COULD NOT HAVE RAN THAT INTERVIEW WITHOUT SHOWING TEBOW RUNNING OFF THE PRACTICE FIELD

    Rough couple weeks for Jay Culter. Missed the playoffs and caused RGIII's injury.

    Get it together Jay.

    I believe they are referencing the playoff game in which Jay Cutler was injured and was removed from the game. There was a lot of controversy that he should have stayed in the game and sucked it up as the Bears lost.

    RGIII stayed in the game and EPSN is implying that RGIII/Shanahan's decision was affected by the Jay Cutler blowback. At least that's all I can piece together. Definitely a stupid topic even by ESPN standards.

    Walton's sarcastic hyperbole is great, especially when he used to do the color for the Clippers when Michael Olowokandi was playing. Some hilarious quotes have come from him:

    - “Shaq’s arrogance is an insult to people who think.”

    - “Tracy McGrady is doing things we’ve never seen from anybody – from any planet!”

    - “Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It’s up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards.”

    - “Show some respect to this living legend, this hall of famer…Arvydas Sabonis.”

    - “The only way Danny Schayes is getting into the hall of fame is if he pays the $5.99 admission fee.”

    - “When I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven in the age of the romantics.”

    - “If Eric Piatkowski continues playing at this level, he’s going to replace Jerry West on the NBA logo.”

    - “That was one of the worst passes I’ve ever seen, and certainly the worst pass in the history of the San Antonio Spurs.”

    - “Cuttino Mobley has just made the two worst shot attempts in the history of this proud Houston Rockets franchise.”

    - “Come on, that was no foul! It may be a violation of all the basic rules of human decency, but it’s not a foul.”

    - “Yesterday we celebrated Sir Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity, today, Fabricio Oberto is defying it.”

    - On Rasheed Wallace: “He’s like a four-armed Dikembe Mutombo around the basket!”

    - “But you have to understand, my beard is so nasty. I mean, it’s the only beard in the history of Western civilization that makes Bob Dylan’s beard look good.”

    - Exchange between Bill and Tom Hammond: “John Stockton is one of the true marvels, not just of basketball, or in America, but in the history of Western Civilization!” Tom: “Wow, that’s a pretty strong statement. I guess I don’t have a good handle on world history.” Bill: “Well Tom, that’s because you didn’t go to UCLA.”

    - “Patrick Ewing used to be much better in every aspect of the game.”

    - “Tonight the Spurs look to extend their lead to 3-0 over the Lakers. This time, however, they will have to do it on the Lakers’ home court. Duncan and Shaq have been magnificent for both teams, but so far the edge has gone to San Antonio. However, the real story line that awaits us tonight in Los Angeles is whether or not Kobe Bryant will actually throw a pass!”

    - On Larry Johnson’s lackluster performance in the NBA Finals: “What a pathetic performance by this sad human being. This is a disgrace to the game of basketball and to the NBA. He played like a disgrace tonight. And he deserved it.”

    - More Larry Johnson railing: “Why would the Pacers ever double-team Larry Johnson? He wants to be double-teamed so he can pass. Why is Indiana double-teaming a man who only scores 8 points a game?”

    - “Memo to Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker: Couldn’t you wait until at least the All-Star break to have the franchise suffer its worse loss in its storied history? Bill Russell just called looking for an address to send his 11 championship rings back to the Celtics because he is so disappointed.”

    - “This Portland team is nothing more than a band of pranksters.”

    - “Hey i’m for anything that keeps Charlie Ward out the game”

    - “Oylden Polynice, make a layup pleeeeeeeaaaaaasssseee!”

    - “Shaq makes everyone else in the league look like Michel Tafoya.”

    - Walton: “That has to be a foul.” Snapper: “Against who?” Walton: “Against the game of basketball.”

    - “If they ever get this cloning thing right, we can only hope they duplicate the good guys. The last thing we need are more Shawn Bradley’s and Michael Olowokandi’s. Or more people with the attitude of Gary Payton or the confusion of George Karl.”

    - “You look at Vladimir Radmanovic, this guy is cut from stone. As if Michelangelo was reading and a lightning bolt flashed before him.”

    - “The art of tossing up the jump ball has really declined. These officials need to spend more time practicing in off-season.”

    ESPN leads off with RG3 updates, a player on a team that's out of the playoffs. I turn to NFL Network, currently they are breaking down why Peyton Manning is so successful vs Baltimore with actual game tape, and ways Ray Lewis can combat Manning's techniques.

    Apparently Bill Walton is just getting back into broadcasting because he had extensive back surgery for chronic pain that had him basically on bed rest and contemplating suicide. There was an article in SI or ESPN recently about him.
