SportsCenter is Dead to Me, Vol. MCMDXVII

Hey -- I have a question. SportsCenter is the show you watch to get highlights of sporting events, correct?

It's like "the news," but for sports. Where I can find news about what happened in sports.

I'm not wrong about this, right?

Except tonight -- and God knows how long this has been going on, and forgive me if I am late to this party -- there was a segment called The Bud Light FreezeFrame, wherein viewers were given the chance to vote on the "Image of the Week." And then Brian Kenny read -- aloud, so everyone could hear him; like, he didn't try to hide it at all -- various reader comments. One of them was in re: Williams hammering Rondo from Game 7 of the Hawks-Celtics series, and came from jpizzle39 (a commenter name so parodically parodic I couldn't beat it if I tried) and began "What a clothesline!"

I don't want to get all Bissingerian here, but do I need to be exposed to reader comments during SportsCenter?

No, I don't.

The Bud Light FreezeFrame. Every Wednesday on SportsCenter.

SportsCenter is dead to me. Again.

  1. Thanks to those of you who pointed out that the foul was Game 7, not Game 4 (I think I was thinking "deciding game" or "4th win" or something). Also, I am aware that the Roman numeral sequence is not real or possible. I was trying to convey frustration with long number sequence. I should have made it longer. If I had written "Vol. MCMDVMXIIVMDCDMMMVVIIIII" everyone would have gotten it.
