Fill 'er up and some SportsCenter to go, please

To show how arrogant ESPN has become, the 2,000 lb. all-sports gorilla is reaching out to gas stations so filling up your tank will be brought to you by SportsCenter. This story by Michael Hiestand of USA Today shows that ESPN is coming to a pump near you. But what if you don’t want to know about a game that you’re Tivo’ing? Or you don’t want to know about your fantasy team until you get home? You’re going to have to find a way to block out the info.

20 inch TV’s, in Hi-Def! What if it’s raining? According to an ESPN Spokesman quoted in the story: “This will be a lot more fun than just standing there washing your windshield.” Shut up.
