Not sure if I should lift my ESPN ban for this gimmicky tournament or not... I'll probably cave considering the minute a team puts on a USA jersey all bets are off

Re: ESPN gets the US rights to the 2016 World Cup
ESPN is extremely horrible anymore. I usually watch college football/MNF on there and that's about it. I'm interested in seeing who ESPN picks to pxp the games. I wouldn't mind them picking up Steve Mears to do the games.Mr. Colby wrote:Not sure if I should lift my ESPN ban for this gimmicky tournament or not...

Bucci should be part of the in-studio broadcast....
I fully expect them to pick up Joe Bendanti and Jack Edwards just to annoy the hell out of me.

gary thorne didn't know anyone's name when it had been his job to do so for several years. after a decade hiatus, it would be hilarious to see him try to figure things out now.

It would be like in the movie Miracle "Johnson on Mikhailov. Broten on Petrov. Pav against whoever OV."

Re: ESPN gets the US rights to the 2016 World Cup
that was a great game, the 12:40 mark to me is the incredible part of that clip. The moment Messier comes in to take that draw, you can just feel that him, Gretzky and coffey are about to run an old oliers faceoff play. You even see him look at coffey, can't tell if he said something,DudeMan2766 wrote:I remember as a youngster this meaning so much to me lol but it doesn't matter at all. But it was still awesome.

Sure enough face off win to coffey, messier takes two guys and opens a lane to gretzky in a perfect position, and they almost pull it off.
that to me is amazing
