Last night’s 11:00pm ET edition of FS1’s “Fox Sports Live” led with Hawks-Nets, followed by Bucks-Bulls, Islanders-Capitals and UFC fighter Jon Jones being arrested for a hit-and-run incident.
ESPN’s Keith Olbermann called out his “world’s worst” persons in sports: A tie between the Wizards, N.Y.'s WNBC-NBC and Chicago's WLS-ABC for bad "on-air graphics." The Wizards flashed “Wizarads” on there scoreboard; WNBC had “extended stat” instead of “stay” and “Nassau Coliseum could stay open for Game 8” during a report on the possible last game at the arena; and WLS had "Blacks Win" after a Blackhawks win over the Predators. Olbermann: “Insert your own punchline here because I’m not saying a thing.” Olbermann also criticized the Yankees for losing a Twitter battle with the Mets, and an unnamed fan from New York for purchasing a full-page ad in the N.Y. Daily News “urging Commissioner Manfred to hit Alex Rodriguez with an asterisk.”
