'SportsCenter' Copy: Of Boli and Bull
SportsCenter anchor John Anderson’s postscript to ESPN’s coverage of Alex Rodriguez’s interview with YES’s Kimberly Jones Saturday morning, following his walk-off home run in the second game of the Yankees-Red Sox series, went along the lines of “boli, boli, boli.”
That was an apparent reference to the performance-enhancing drug that ARod’s cousin administered to the slugger back in 2003, when both were young and stupid.
For those who don’t necessarily subscribe to the perception that the worldwide leader favors The Nation over the Evil Empire, one can only hope that Anderson, or another SportsCenter anchor, will crack equally wise in reviewing David Ortiz’s expected comments during a scheduled press conference at Yankee Stadium today.
The Bosox’s bulky DH is supposed to talk before the game about his inclusion on the list of more than 100 MLBers, including ARoid, who tested positive for using PEDs during the 2003 season.
Stuck for copy ideas? “Bull,” “bull,” “bull” might be appropriate for Big Papi’s expected denial-explanation?

ROFLMAO, what a joke.
Mike commented:
I'm a Yankee fan and who really cares what ESPN covers. The A-Rod coverage was annoying and overdone, so why would they make the same mistake with the Ortiz coverage. A-Rod was also the first big name outed off the list. It is a big deal. The subsequent names don't have as big of an effect. Fans can draw their own conclusions. Why does everyone expect ESPN to parrot their own exact personal views, or demand ESPN cover an event exactly as they think they should.
Kat commented:
In addition, unlike the circus they created around the A-Rod press conference earlier this year, ESPN is currently airing last year's Home Run Derby right now along with other unrelated shows on their other channels.
Why such different treatment?
Stultus Magnus commented:
Thanks for pointing this out, totally ridiculous and uncalled for. ESPN needs to find a way towards objectivity and neutrality.
Punks.
Sports guy Kelvin commented:
Mike, I completely agree this was uncalled for. Today's press conference was insane, The world wide leader in sports clearly favors the nation.
Shame on the boli stuff, and to say Ortiz was purely honest is insane.
Uncle Ellsworth commented:
Here Here!
espn is a joke!
Thisguy commented:
It would be too much to assume neutrality of the worldwide leader. They've hired open Red Sox fans for years, and this is what we're left with.
