FS1’s new “Fox Sports Live” studio show showcased slightly more sports properties and highlights compared to last night’s broadcast of ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” according to an analysis of the 11:00pm ET 60-minute editions of both shows. During the intro for “Fox Sports Live,” UFC President Dana White said, "Welcome to the ultimate edition of 'Fox Sports Live.'" The show began the broadcast with Charissa Thompson introducing a panel of Donovan McNabb, Andy Roddick and Gary Payton and explaining "The Audi Big Board," which "keeps us up-to-date on all the scores throughout the evening." Thompson then sent it over to the "two dreams" of Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole. O'Toole said, "I should advise people that at the Fox cafeteria, don’t get the salmon." Onrait replied, "Dan's a little gassy tonight." Over at ESPN, after the Connecticut team lost at the Little League World Series to the team from California on a three-run home run in the top of the ninth inning, ESPN's Steve Levy opened “SportsCenter” by saying, "Tears are flowing now all over the great state of Connecticut. Welcome to 'SportsCenter.' … Moments ago we were going to lead with the big leaguers, and then the Little Leaguers played the most interesting baseball game of the evening." Overall, “Fox Sports Live” had more emphasis on the MLB playoff races at the start of the show and touched on more sports -- with highlights or mentions of new NBPA President Chris Paul, Tiger Woods' preparations for The Barclays, int'l soccer, tennis, NASCAR and UFC.
