Apparently, ESPN Hasn’t Heard of YouTube, et. al.
Somewhat off-topic, but: ESPN.com announced today Sportscenter Home Video:
“We still want to see examples of all that sport is — victory, defeat,
happiness, sadness, humor and gravitas – but we want to see them as
they occur in your lives. Get out your camera and start shooting your
kids’ soccer game or your grandfather’s foul shots now.

“Now is your chance to get your great sports moment on ESPN. The best
and most compelling moments will appear every Sunday morning on
SportsCenter.

Wait – wtf is VHS?
This is a pretty boring way of trying to engage viewers. Why not help them share their home movies with each other? Why not host user-produced local sports shows? It ain’t going to compete with the actual Sportscenter – it’s just going to increase the overall value of ESPN.com and its brand.
