MNF on ESPN

[Duffinator]

Holst, great stuff.

"Spike Lee is in the booth -- we've been asked to post when he's out so folks can turn back to ESPN after watching Prison Break.

"Why did you do the documentary, Spike?" ("To get paid, XXXXXXXXXX.")

Joe Horn takes a helmet to the poopcan.

Says a reader, "I think that Spike and Jaws are going to the same optometrist."

Spike is close to pulling a Kanye.

They were this close to getting Spike out of the booth and Kornholer asked him about the Knicks.

SPIKE IS GONE . . . WE REPEAT . . . SPIKE IS GONE."

ESPN went to great lengths to display the devastation down in New Orleans and how half the city is still destroyed. Spike Lee lamenting the poor etc. No one mentioned how ironic it is that the city managed to come up with $180 million to refurbish their football stadium while not using those funds to rebuild elsewhere/ aid the downtrodden.

Naturally we all know why, because the investment in the stadium has a return, sold out tickets for every game plus concessions, parking, etc. While helping to rebuild the city - well, no financial return there.

I love football. I think its great that they're playing there again. But where are their priorities? Like everything else, its all about the money.

Michaels and Madden are still the best.
