Until the leader closes out today’s round at -20, yes.So, alive?
Then bloggers and analysts will scheme leader’s collapse tomorrow, and in the morning the answer will remain yes.
This isn’t mere catnip. It should be a Schedule 1 narcotic.

Who washed Kobe's balls more and more often than ESPN? They're still doing it now and he doesn't even play anymore.Kobe Bryant was there to talk up his ESPN digital series Detail, admitting “it’s a little weird to be here because I always, when I played, called ESPN the Evil Empire. And now here I am.”
Adrienne Lawrence, who spent two years at ESPN as an on-air legal analyst, is defending the relevancy and admissibility of her allegations of decades-long misogyny at the sports network.
She's suing ESPN for allegedly permitting a hostile workplace rife with sexual harassment and retaliating against her after she objected to supervisors and the human resources department. Her 93-page complaint, which recounted everything from employee porn-watching habits to how the network once kept a New York City apartment that supposedly became a sex-and-drugs hotspot, was attacked by ESPN's lawyers a month ago as "stale gossip" falling fall short of federal pleading standards.
They don’t want to blame too much on the previous regime, but Jeter “can’t reiterate enough” how bad the franchise has been under the old regime?IN THEIR PUBLIC and media interactions, Marlins officials walk a fine line. They want fans to understand the magnitude of the challenge they face in building a competitive team. Yet they're hesitant to engage in too much Loria-bashing, because it runs counter to Jeter's mandate that people need to be "accountable'' and refrain from excuses. He never has been, and never will be, a "sun got in my eyes'' kind of guy.
But as Jeter finds his footing, he makes no apologies for the direction of the franchise.
"The bottom line -- and I can't reiterate this enough -- is that we took over an organization that was broken,'' he says. "They hadn't been to a postseason in 14 years or had a winning record since 2009. That's black and white. If we came in and didn't make any changes, people would think we were crazy.
The ticker was amazing back in the day before smartphones and is still useful today as a way to not have to be on your phone to see information. It's also basically no distraction IMO. You're nuts to hate it.
And that's why they play the game. Teeej...ESPN is in talks with Chris Berman about an expanded role for this NFL season, sources have told The Post.
It’s a good way to easily drive website traffic with minimal invasiveness so I doubt they’ll ever get rid of it.I used to be like a junkie waiting for scores to flash many years ago but I don’t see the need for it anymore and would prefer it to go away.
She's the only one on the show with any personality. Now it will really, really suck, IMO.They're re-tooling Greenberg's morning show, reducing it from three hours to two, and shipping Beadle out. Not really a surprise about Beadle after she admitted she no longer will watch college football or the NFL.
It seemed clear to me that she and Greenberg didn't get along. Of course, how anyone could get along with him is an open question.She's the only one on the show with any personality. Now it will really, really suck, IMO.
I think you're right, I just think she's so much more talented and entertaining than he is. But they've cast they're lot with him, so they'll go down with him.It seemed clear to me that she and Greenberg didn't get along. Of course, how anyone could get along with him is an open question.
How Golic stood his personality for as long as he did was a mystery
She's way too smart for what they've given her. I always get a "I'm getting paid for this crap show?" from her and I appreciate it.I think you're right, I just think she's so much more talented and entertaining than he is. But they've cast they're lot with him, so they'll go down with him.
I honestly haven’t watched/listened to ESPN in a long time, outside of live games or ATH/PTI maybe once a week, so can’t comment on Greenberg or Beadle. I just know I think of Hill as being awful, I’m not armed to make comparisons. I barely consume the four letters anymore, mostly because I think their talent is at an all time low.She should have taken over for Beadle with Greenberg.
Sure, but if she’s not going watch football, that’s a big hole in the show. Will she just sit there mute? Say disparaging things about ESPN’s meal ticket?She's the only one on the show with any personality. Now it will really, really suck, IMO.
That would be awesomeSure, but if she’s not going watch football, that’s a big hole in the show. Will she just sit there mute? Say disparaging things about ESPN’s meal ticket?
It just occurred to me how much time some of us here spend doing just that.That would be awesome
Wonder if this idea is now going to go by the wayside, with the recent revelations about the driving "accident" that Berman's wife died in last year (was not an accident, she drunkenly killed herself and an innocent elderly motorist, and her sister lied up and down about the whole thing at the time it turns out, I guess trying to "protect" her). Still waiting on ESPN to make some acknowledgement about these recently revealed facts since they made numerous statements in support of the Berman's in the immediate aftermath of the event, but doubt any will be provided given the lack leadership they frequently display these days....Oh what a long strange trip it's been. Boomer may be coming back...

I mean, I don't like the guy's persona, but I can't blame an employer for publicly supporting him during that timeWonder if this idea is now going to go by the wayside, with the recent revelations about the driving "accident" that Berman's wife died in last year (was not an accident, she drunkenly killed herself and an innocent elderly motorist, and her sister lied up and down about the whole thing at the time it turns out, I guess trying to "protect" her).

How would you like ESPN to acknowledge that their biggest star, someone who has been with their company since day one, wife was involved in a drunk driving accident where she killed someone and herself?I also have no problem with them publicly supporting him at the time (when they and everyone else were in the dark about the facts of the wreck) would just be nice if they now also acknowledged what actually happened, instead of pretending we now don't know what we know - that she would have been prosecuted for manslaughter if she had not also died, given it was not an "accident"...
It was "Ol' Yeller"It just occurred to me how much time some of us here spend doing just that.
Isn't this how Miracle on 92nd Street worked, or whatever that movie was called?
https://goo.gl/images/RBbP5cSo I'm watching the tennis and ESPN for some reason flash cuts to a fat lady struggling to get into her seat. I thought it was sorta funny that they broadcast that but seems completely unnecessary.
Ask the geeks in the tech forum?The most recent iteration of the front page of the NFL section has a left to right bar with the upcoming games. The problem is they place it under the search bar and above the masthead and don't leave enough vertical space to see the two teams that are playing in each listing box. You only get the date, time, and TV station, plus the first team. The second team is covered so you don't know who it is without clicking each game individually.
It kind of ruins the whole, " at a glance" purpose of the information bar.
Pathetic considering that's going to happen at least 40 times this year.Not that I'm surprised but the top story on all ESPN shows this morning is the Lakers loss. Red Sox are a distant second. Totally understood from a strategic standpoint but also pretty pathetic.
Totally agreed and understood. ESPN is protecting its brand, its alliances and ratings. Pumping up LeBron and the Lakers is their number one goal right now.Baseball gets zero coverage. This is nothing new and will not change anytime soon. ESPN and FS1 spend an overwhelming amount of time on NFL, College Football, or LeBron coverage. MLB’s slow as molasses efforts to address its game presentation and fan demo issues rob me of any empathy.
