Orel Hershiser will be joining ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball team

I really didn’t think that ESPN would get a replacement for Steve Phillips, following his firing this offseason, but alas….I was wrong.  Orel Hershiser will be joining Jon Miller and Joe Morgan this season for Sunday Night Baseball. Via ESPN PR….

Jon Miller, the recently announced winner of the Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2010 Ford C. Frick Award, and Hall of Famer Joe Morgan will be joined by ESPN analyst and former Major League Baseball Cy Young Award winner Orel Hershiser in the Sunday Night Baseball booth this season. Miller and Morgan are entering their 21st consecutive season on Sunday Night Baseball.

“Sunday Night Baseball distinctly offers Jon’s Hall of Fame voice and the combination of Joe’s Hall of Fame approach to hitting and Orel’s profound pitching knowledge,” said Norby Williamson, ESPN executive vice president, production. “Collectively, they will provide compelling analysis and debate during our national game of the week.”

In addition to his Sunday Night responsibilities, Hershiser will continue to serve as analyst during ESPN’s College World Series and Little League World Series coverage. He will also provide analysis for Baseball Tonight. Hershiser most recently provided analysis for Monday Night Baseball in 2009, and has contributed to Wednesday Night Baseball.

I’ve always enjoyed Orel in the booth, no pun intended, and now he’ll get a chance to showcase it with ESPN’s “A-Team”.  Some find him bland, but his knowledge of game situations will help out a pair that has basically forgotten everything they’ve ever learned about the game.

Big Ben Accused of Sexual Assault… Again.

For the second time in less than a year, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of sexual assault.   Yesterday afternoon, TMZ broke the story of Big Ben’s involvement in an incident which occurred at a nightclub in Milledgeville, Georgia.  The story has since been reported by the national media after being confirmed by the Georgia police.  The alleged victim, a 20-year-old female student from Georgia College & State University, was treated and released from the hospital on Friday morning.

The details of the night in question are still a bit hazy at this point, but what seems to be clear is Ben and a group of friends started the night drinking heavily at a bar called “The Brick” until about 1:30 a.m.   They then moved on to another club, Capital City, where the incident allegedly occurred.  Roethlisberger’s accuser claims she was in the ladies room when Ben entered and proceeded to assault her.

It sounds to me like Big Ben needs to put Little Ben on ice for a while…

Scott Van Pelt drops the F Bomb on Sportscenter

It’s pretty clear that what Van Pelt says is “Fuck I gotta…..”  So you have to wonder what was coming next.  My guess is that he was saying Fuck I’ve gotta piss, but its very possible he was going to say pay my phone bill, call my grand ma ma, get that dead hooker out of my trunk, I mean the possibilities are endless……

The 10 Hottest Baseball Sideline Reporters

#10 Nicole Zaloumis

This FSN reporter took maternity leave mid-2009.  However, news recently broke that she may be leaving the network, which would be a huge blow to the Northwest and our hot reporter population.

#9 Hazel Mae

Once the lead anchor for NESN, Hazel Mae was so popular among New Englanders that she was nominated to become the first president of Red Sox Nation.

However, now she has moved on to bigger and better things, where she is now the face of the MLB Network.

Also she apparently has the power to shock people with her cleavage.

#8 Tina Cervasio

Also a vet of the NESN sports network, Cervasio was the Red Sox sideline reporter all the way up until 2008 when she moved on to work at Madison Square Garden of all places as a studio host.

Say what you want about the Red Sox, but they had some hotties covering them.

#7 Alex Flanagan

Now mostly a football gal for the NFL Network and NBC Sports, Flanagan cut her teeth reporting for FSN and Baseball Tonight with ESPN.

#6 Julie Donaldson

A former beauty queen from Florida, Donaldson migrated north where she hosted Mets Weekly in 2006 before moving on as the beat reporter for (who else) the Boston Red Sox.

Sadly, she moved on from the sporting world in 2008 after being assaulted by her boyfriend, a (get this) professional Slamball player.

#5 Charissa Thompson

Not to be confused with a different blond model named Charissa Thompson, this one is much classier but still incredibly hot in her own right.

Thompson has moved onto colder pastures, working as an on-ice reporter for the NHL on Versus, but just a few years ago she was covering baseball for FSN on such programs as The 2007 MLB All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade and The Baseball Report.

#4 Maria Sansone

Tough call to put her at No. 4, but I couldn’t let Sansone land in the top three if for the only reason that she doesn’t cover baseball anymore, but she is definitely smoking hot.She got started early, and by early I mean she was covering the Little League World Series when she was freaking 12 years old. We knew she was going to be good; we just didn’t know she was going to be this hot.

Later on she would contribute to NESN covering the Sox, like every other hot reporter, then went on to become a fantasy sports babe for Yahoo! for a little while.

Now she is out of sports entirely, but we’re hopeful she’ll be back soon. I miss her.

#3 Heidi Watney

Current Red Sox field reporter Heidi Watney is quickly becoming one of the most popular on-field reporters in baseball. It’s starting to become Erin Andrews-esque.

In fact, her supporters have pointed out the fact that even Andrews has admired Watney’s nice behind before.

She may not be at Andrews’ stature yet, but it’s only a matter of time before ESPN snatches her away from NESN as the world gets a new reporter to obsess over.

#2 Erin Andrews

What can I say about Erin Andrews that I haven’t said 384 times already? She’s hot, she’s the ultimate girl-next-door, and she’s good at what she does.

Even when she gets nailed by a foul ball, like last summer, she continues to get back out there and make us care about regular season baseball and the College World Series like nobody else out there can.  Plus we’ve all seen her naked, which is pretty nice as well.

#1 Kristen Berset

Another Florida beauty queen (Miss Florida USA in 2004), Berset moved up to Baltimore where she has grown into her niche of a sports reporter.

Now an anchor, Berset gained the love of many a baseball fan when she covered the Orioles, becoming the first thing to make them must-see since Brady Anderson started taking steroids.

With the Baseball season getting started down in Florida and Arizona we wanted to bring you a list of the hottest sideline reporters from around the MLB.  We know that come August when your team is already 20 games out of 1st place it takes a little more to get you out of bed in the morning.  Maybe this can help…..

NBA Trade Deadline update

- Nate Robinson was suspiciously absent from the Knicks last night here, home with flu-like symptoms — but he might be absent, period. Coming off his third slam-dunk title, Robinson again is being shopped, with the trade deadline approaching tomorrow and the Boston trade rumors resurfacing again yesterday. The Knicks deem Robinson purely as a shooting guard, and his departure would open up more playing time for rookie Toney Douglas. Since the Knicks have no plans to re-sign him, they hope a playoff-bound team such as the Celtics will pounce. The Knicks and Celtics started talking trade in December, when Robinson was banished. Robinson can veto any deal, but Boston could be one he does not. Coach Mike D’Antoni loves Eddie House, who has an expiring contract. In his last outing, Robinson got into a brief shouting match with D’Antoni. Robinson did not make the trip because the club did not want him to infect the club.

      - The Houston Rockets have narrowed their long-running quest to trade Tracy McGrady to offers from the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls and plan to choose between the offers Wednesday, according to sources with knowledge of the Rockets’ thinking.  One source close to the process told ESPN.com that the Rockets, after intense talks with both teams leading up to Thursday’s trading deadline, are determined to finalize a deal for McGrady and are leaning toward taking the Knicks’ offer.

        I honestly hope both of these deals get done today.  The Knicks have 19 wins so any talk of a playoff spot at this point is just retarded.  The Knicks need to cut as much salary as humanly possible to give them a real shot at landing the big prize this off-season, and both those deals help that prospect tremendously.

        We’ll keep you up to speed on any developments regarding these deals or any other NBA trade deadline news throughout the day.

        Lane Kiffin Loves Prepubescent Boys

        Lane Kiffin loves little boys bootyholes!

         David Sills, all of 13 years old, has verbally committed to USC. Sills is a quarterback out of Bear, Del., who has drawn raves for his talent at such a young age. 

        “His skill set is off the chart,” his personal coach Steve Clarkson told ESPN. “I’ve never seen anyone at his age do what he’s been able to do.” Clarkson has mentored other top quarterbacks in the past, including current USC starter Matt Barkley. 

        According to the ESPN, new USC coach Lane Kiffin received a verbal commitment from Sills on Thursday evening. “He’s already six feet as a 13-year-old,” Clarkson said. “And he’s breaking down NFL footage.”  

        Is this really what the world is coming to??? College football programs are accepting verbal commitments from 13 year olds.  I don’t get it, when I was 13 I thought that I was going to play football for Florida State.  As the years went on, I decided to verbally commit to boobs, booze, and marijuana.  You watch the minute this kid smells the vagina, he’s done.  I thought that this National Signing Day for high school football players was too much.  What now a pee wee verbal commitment day!  I don’t care how good this kid is, the ages 13 to 18 are a lifetime and alot of crazy things can happen that could curtail him from even playing football anymore.  Fuck it, as of right now I am verbally committing to the Senior PGA Tour.  I figure I have 21 years before I qualify, but why not if this kid can verbally commit to USC at the age of 5 why can’t I verbally commit to the Senior PGA Tour.

        San Diego is German for “a whale’s vagina”

        Make no mistake about it: this is the Jets year.  But I’m not going to rub it in your face just yet.  I’m going to wait until they beat the Colts next weekend.  And after they beat the Colts I’m going to travel to Miami to see my team deliver the first championship in 40 years.  There’s going to be hookers and blow and garlands of fresh herbs.  And after the Jets win we will dance til the sun rises.  And then the hookers and I will form a band.  And we will tour the countryside and you won’t be invited.

        That first week after the Superbowl is going to be tough for you.  The FAN is going to be flooded with calls from obnoxious Jets fans.  Your Mothers Mustache is going to have a daily article spotlighting the greatness of Darrelle Revis.  ESPN is going to be all over Rex Ryan’s nuts.  There’s going to be a ticker tape parade, and the streets are going to be flooded with green jerseys.  Every local paper will have a 10 page pullout to commemorate the Jets 2009 season.  Time will pass, and the hysteria surrounding the Jets will slowly fade with the start of baseball and March Madness.  And then, 5 months later, when you least expect it, I’m going to show up on your front lawn with 8 of my buddies, hammered, belligerent and chanting in full Jets gear, and we’re going to once again remind you about that 4 week stretch in January and February when you were licking our gang green sacks on a daily basis.  And it’s going to be fucking sweet.

        Is the Arnold Palmer Sportscenter commercial the best one ever?

        Now this may not be the funniest ESPN commercial of all time but I certainly think it’s the most creative.  I don’t know if it’s just me but I love this commercial and think it has to make a running at one of the greatest of all time…..

        You can close the book on Jim Zorn

        Going into last night Jim Zorn had maybe a 1% chance of keeping his job, well now you can take that 1% and throw it out the window because this guy is 100% losing his job.  What really sealed Jim Zorn’s fate in my opinion was this play that was a complete fucking disaster.  In case you missed it, the Redskins were down 24-0 as the first half was coming to an end. They lined up for a 38-yard field goal, only to fake it and send most of the team over to the left, leaving only the snapper, the holder and the kicker in the middle of the field. The Giants saw the formation and called a timeout to stop the play. So what did Zorn do? He called the same play again. The Giants sniffed it out and the play failed as Redskins holder Hunter Smith aimlessly threw the ball in the air.  Ugly.
