Just Getting This Out Of The Way
You may know that one of my biggest pet peeves is when Derek Jeter gets face-time on a broadcast for doing nothing more than clapping for something he didn't even do, while standing outside the dugout.
But this was taken to a new level the other day.
You know how on SportsCenter highlights they always end with one final slo-mo shot? Well after that last yankee win (how long ago was that? help me out yankee fans), SportsCenter opted to use a "clapping Jeter" shot as their slow motion wrap up. What the hell is that? The only reason I can think of to do that is if the sportscaster was making fun of how they always show Jeter clapping, and they wanted to show it as a gag.
Terrible job, ESPN.

Not quite as long as it's been since the Red Sox won a World Title?
