[Mr Janny]

I can't wait to hear Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks call an ISU game.

ESPN360.com to Rebrand as ESPN3.com on April 4.

Pepper's gonna need new shorts after every ISU game he calls

Effin' A, Cotton, Effin' A!

So what the difference? They're just going to drop the 60 at the end. Qwest still won't get their heads out of the sand and sign up for it. Now, if ESPN were to also allow individuals to sign up like insider then I'm all for it.

Sounds like is should be ESPN Eleventeen instead of ESPN Ocho. :biglaugh:

 

[Jack & Hilton]

That's a bold move Cotton!

 

[dinger]

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

 

[Clonefan32]

If there is a professional dodgeball league, I would love to see it on ESPN. It's gotta be more entertaining than bowling, World's Strongest Man, billiards, ect.

 

[dinger]

but not poker. now THAT is a real sport.

I don't care what anybody says, watching that stuff is AWESOME. Watching guys pull planes? AWESOME. Watching guys do Jeep lifts? AWESOME.

Add ESPN3D.....It's coming this summer!

 

[tman24]

ABC basically is ESPN so I guess Espn3D would be the ocho

 

[superdorf]

Waiting for the blumpkin reference...
