Night Moves....Thursday Night Lights

Last night's 1:00am edition of ESPN's "SportsCenter" and the 1:30am edition of FS1's "Fox Sports Live" both led with Texas A&M-South Carolina and Boise State-Mississippi. ESPN followed with A's-Angels and the NFL's new domestic violence policy. FS1 followed the two opening college football reports with USC RB Anthony Brown accusing USC coach Steve Sarkisian of being a racist and the NFL's new domestic violence policy.

ESPN's Keith Olbermann called out his "world's worst" persons in sports: Centerplate Chair Joseph O'Donnell for "still taking no meaningful action against" CEO Desmond Hague, "who was caught on tape beating up a puppy." Olbermann also derided "people who are actually criticizing" Warriors G Klay Thompson for waking up early in the morning for his fantasy football draft while playing for Team USA in Spain, and the Padres "really taking heat" for renaming an area of Petco Park for MLB Commissioner Bud Selig.
