Night Moves....Acting Classes

The 1:00am ET editions of ESPN’s “SportsCenter” and FS1’s “Fox Sports Live” featured different opening lineups. ESPN led with NBA playoff highlights, followed by Yankees-Red Sox, Phillies-Dodgers and NHL playoff highlights and analysis. FS1 led with Penguins-Blue Jackets followed by NBA playoff highlights, then Yankees-Red Sox.

ESPN’s Keith Olbermann called out his “world’s worst” persons in sports: Rugby player Simaika Maekele of the Vailele Express, who "accomplished the worst sports injury fake, the worst flop of the century." Olbermann also criticized the Mets for making P Matt Harvey take down a Twitter picture of him "symbolically giving the finger to his injury and the rehab," and a Canadiens fan for holding onto a stick given up by LW Max Pacioretty and not wanting the kid next to him to have it.
