Night Moves....Don't Drink The Water

The 1:00am ET editions of ESPN's "SportsCenter" and FS1's "Fox Sports Live" were once again basketball heavy in their early coverage, albeit with different philosophies. ESPN led with two NBA reports, followed by Georgia Tech's upset of Syracuse, while FS1 led with Georgia Tech-Syracuse and two more college basketball reports. Both broadcasts featured the Cowboys restructuring QB Tony Romo's contract as their first non-hoops story.

ESPN's Keith Olbermann called out his "world's worst" persons in sports: The operators of Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Florida, for a sign that read, "To conserve water, the toilets and urinals are flushed with reclaimed water (Please do not drink)," which prompted the question, "Has this been an issue this spring?" Also drawing Olbermann's ire was an unidentified groundskeeper in Romanian soccer who drew the lines on the soccer field crooked and haphazardly because "apparently he was drunk," and Tigers 2B Ian Kinsler for backing away from comments that included calling Rangers GM Jon Daniels a "sleezeball" and hoping his former team goes 0-162.
