Pretty wild story. Been a long week in Bristol.

Christ, I'd rather have a re-plated PBA trophy than something that came from page 77 of the Trophy World Inc. catalog. "Wait, you got this trophy for losing to Marshall Holman? Was he as big a deck as he seemed?"

I'd rather have a pair of Guppy Troup's pants.

The phrase "ill-gotten Emmys" will haunt me.

Can't wait for the weekly heart-tugging features on a wrestler's Make A Wish kid.

Look for ESPN to win an Emmy for the investigation of the fake ESPN Emmies.

Give them ESPYs!

While I understand there are rules and eligibilities involved - and on-air has its own category - I do think on-air types do much of the same work as "producers" with their contributions in show prep and shaping a broadcast. It's not like they are just performing up there and reading cue cards. As opposed to actors on a scripted show who may have zero input on anything.

Bhris Cerman or Cinda Lohn didn't raise any eyebrows, but Kirk Henry did.

Shock, a Michigan guy is OK with not following the rules.

Talk with management in Bristol.
