From One Thankless Job to Another

For the last two years, Pedro Gomez of ESPN had the worst job in the world: reporting Barry Bonds every move. Gomez reported everything Bonds did from going to visit the can to what he had for breakfast to what flavor of Power Aid he was drinking. As baseball season ended and it began to be clear that Bonds career may be coming to end, ESPN had to do something with Gomez.

While flipping around I found the DC United and Chicago Fire game on ESPN2 and a voice on the telecast sounded familiar, it was no other then Pedro Gomez. Gomez does sideline reporting for the network for the MLS.

In the past year, Gomez has really had a hard time, from dealing with Bonds to now dealing with the MLS. By the end of the year, Gomez will wish that he was still flowing Bonds around.

One of the best days in sports history

If you were not Dennis Dixon (below) or Barry Bonds, yesterday ranked up there as one of the best days in sports history.

Has anyone ever seen a day where the home run king was indicted, the numbers two in the BCS poll lost and a baseball player agreed to one of the richest contracts in sports history and that does not even count Dick Vitale season debut.

I hope that we can have many more days like that.

Pedro Gomez can now go home

For the last two years, Pedro Gomez has been held hostage by ESPN. Gomez has been covering the show that is Barry Bonds and no one was happier last night when Bonds hit the record breaking home run, because that means that its time for him to go home. That is if he has a home.
