Let me preface this by saying I, in no way, am responsible for the playing of this game and I am not liable for any of the following

  • Drunkenness that results from this game
  • Hangovers that result from this game
  • Bad beer-googled hookups that result from this game
  • Any police trouble you may come across
  • Anything that has to do with drinking pretty much

If you are underage, replace this with soy milk, or something gross. Now buckle up, cuz Sportscenter is an hour long….

Oh and by the way, I love ESPN.

Take a drink/sip

  • If someone attractive is at the anchor desk.
  • If any of stories has to do with New York
  • If anyone says Lebron James or Tim Tebow or Andrew Luck or Kobe
  • Whenever any of the anchors go into a segment with a pun
  • Whenever anyone references Twitter
  • If a formerly popular athlete is in a suit on camera
  • Whenever anyone asks “Are the ________’s finished/slumping/whatever means done with”
  • Whenever the fantasy experts are on screen
  • Whenever there is more time spent on the NFL than the MLB
  • When Herm Edwards makes his co-anchor laugh
  • Whenever someone mentions Joe Paterno
  • Whenever someone is shown getting rocked in football

Finish your cup/shot

  • If NASCAR or tennis is mentioned
  • If the What 2 Watch 4 game sounds boring
  • If Rachael Nichols comes up on camera
  • If anyone messes up their lines
  • If the #1 Top Play isn’t as awesome as any thing below it
  • Whenever a male anchor says something creepy to a female anchor
  • If anyone wishes Happy Birthday to someone other than Kobe, Jeremy Lin or Tebow
  • If any game recap leaves out plays by the losing team “If the Cubs are playing the Brewers and you dont see hits by the Cubs”
  • Whenever ESPN goes super off topic with random facts
  • Whenever anyone mentions someone not on the Nationals

Finish 2 cups/chug

  • If the NHL is mentioned without mention of Sidney Crosby or Ovechkin
  • If the English Premier League has a segment not in the Top Ten Plays
  • If anyone says anything bad about Tim Tebow other than Steven A Smith
  • If anyone says the Cowboys will make the playoffs
  • If a commercial takes out the info bar on the bottom of the screen
  • If any of the anchors references Northwestern University
  • If anyone covers skateboarding or X Games related things
  • When there is coverage on an NBA team that isn’t good

Instant game over

  • If there’s MLS footage anywhere
  • If someone from a blog is a guest caller
  • If there’s UFC coverage

Conclusion

Seriously, don’t get me if you don’t have fun or something during this game. Im disappointed nobody said the secret word from the last post as well…

And don’t worry, actual analytic stuff tomorrow.
