I literally just finished writing a little something about that ridiculous self-serving "ombudsman" title in the comments section of the prior ESPN post, and now I'm reading this. Pretty funny. I was never a Star Trek guy, but there's a little something to be said for Vulcan mindmelds.

And to take Larry's comment several steps further, I believe it's only a matter of time before ESPN (Disney/ABC, whatever) enters into a deal with a major player to begin their own AP-like service. Those pod people have been attempting to infiltrate everything else, why not that?

Ron, you're not a pod people, are you? Nah, on second thought, don't answer that question. Yes or no, it's a moot point.

I think you're splitting hairs. I watch ESPN, and know how to access its website, and everything that it produces is just as ubiquitous, just as quickly, as AP copy.

But I can see ESPN as an interesting topic. It pretty much defines the way we think of sports these days, at least in some ways. But I don't really see it discussed as a topic in that sense (excepting of course the recent link to ESPN's side of the argument, written by a pr flak who's supposed to be more believable because she's called an "ombudsman"). ESPN is most often simply cited or otherwise used to substantiate a viewpoint.

I've noticed that sort of thing a lot lately, not just on this blog, and it's not a big deal, but I enjoy getting a dig in about it.

Odd how you used, "but at the end of the day," one of Screamin' A. Smith's favorite pet phrases, to describe your avowed mission to continue to beat readers over the head with a daily dose of Disneyfest.

To paraphrase our military geniuses, stay the course. Stay the course.
