The first NFL report on ESPN was 17 minutes into the broadcast and was on the state of the Bears. Last night’s 11:00pm ET edition of FS1’s “Fox Sports Live” led with Thunder-Warriors, followed by Bucks-Kings, Pelicans-Rockets, Knicks-Bulls, Rondo being traded and the Bears.

ESPN’s Keith Olbermann called out his “world’s worst” persons in sports: A football fan with the Twitter handle @BFLO44, “who identifies himself merely as a Cleveland fan,” getting into a Twitter feud with former Ravens coach Brian Billick. Olbermann also criticized English soccer club Chester City manager Steve Burr for tossing the “equivalent of Hostess Ho Hos” onto the field because he felt his players were performing poorly in an FA Cup match, and Pistons G Brandon Jennings for being guarded by “ghosts” after he passed up an uncontested layup to take a jump shot that he missed.
