Night Moves....Thirsty Thursday

Last night’s 11:00pm ET edition of ESPN’s “SportsCenter” led with some MLB milestones this season, followed by Giants-Mariners, Rangers-Dodgers and Cubs-Indians. The first non-MLB report was Cowboys WR Dez Bryant threatening to skip games this season if he does not get a long-term contract, airing 23 minutes into the broadcast. Last night’s 11:00pm ET edition of FS1’s “Fox Sports Live” led with a UFC discussion, followed by Women’s World Cup highlights and analysis and preview of the U.S. Open.

ESPN’s Keith Olbermann called out his “world’s worst” persons in sports: a Twitter user who posted a video of a young boy pouring two cans of beer over his head after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup. Olbermann also blasted Sonic for “selling – albeit for charity – encapsulated parts of one of their candy slushies” that Thunder F Kevin Durant “drank but did not finish,” and The Korea Times for publishing the headline “Chicago Bears clinch Stanley Cup.”
