Celebrate with a condom?

Something about that phrasing bothers me. Like its a commemorative condom that I should take home and treasure.

I'll be damned.

And yeah they were all about it although for the life of me I do not recall what go.com was really meant to be. Looking at it now, I still don't.

I've always been astounded by how long ESPN.go.com hung around. It was such a strange vestigial appendage for such a high profile website.

This is the low point of the season thus far (and really the only skit they've done), but none of it has been very good.

Too bad about Rovell staying put, FS1 would've probably given him a half-hour daily show + regular appearances on Fox Business.

Then I could've just ignored him forever.
