  World Series of Poker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ESPN Classic currently airs many of the old broadcasts, especially from the mid 1990s and beyond.
ESPN's coverage in 2002 would be typical of their coverage in the 1990s (recorded in video, little or no post-production commentary or player profiles, no card cams).
ESPN has expanded poker to all-new levels, especially with their coverage of the 2006 WSOP, including providing the entire final table of the 2006 Main Event via pay-per-view airing.

 Daytona Beach News-Journal Online -- Racing News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
NASCAR refused to let ESPN use racetrack footage if that footage was to be used on the ESPN nightly magazine show, "RPM2Night." ESPN's reporters were allowed inside the tracks to gather information, make their contacts, but that was it.
For three seasons, until the ESPN magazine show left the air late in 2003, the result was the strange sight of drivers doing ESPN interviews outside of racetracks -- sometimes across the street from the track, and often at a nearby airport with helicopters and private jets in the background.
ESPN was left out of the new TV deal, and its nightly magazine show ("RPM2Night") was considered a competitor to the new networks' magazine efforts, and therefore no footage was allowed to be shown from inside a racetrack.

 GamingWorld X - ESPN NBA Basketball Review
You can play ESPN NBA Basketball in a variety of modes: Quick, Tournament, Season, Playoff, Street and Franchise (There is also 24/7, but more on that “mode” later in the review.) For the full NBA experience, most committed players will spend most of their time with the Franchise mode.
ESPN is doing this with all the major American sports and the Sega NFL game has had leagues at ESPN for awhile.
ESPN NBA Basketball is worth every hard-earned penny you spend on it and is a must have title for gamers who like basketball, the NBA, or even just sports gaming in general.

 ESPN.com: New sport fulfills need for speed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
There are only a handful of speed skiers around the world, and the World Pro Speed Skiing Tour doesn't attract a lot of sponsorship dollars, but these men and women love their sport.
"Speed is one of the main elements of skiing that excites people, and people push it to different limits depending on their ability," Miller said.
Speed skiing was a demonstration sport at the 1992 Albertville Olympics, sanctioned by the International Ski Federation, and the U.S. Ski Team sent a contingent that included Coloradans C.J. Mueller, Amy Guras, Dale Womack and Hamilton.

 ESPN Speed World
ESPN Speed World is a Super NES and Mega Drive/Genesis video game that involves the player controlling NASCAR-type car as they do laps around a circuit.
This game uses real ESPN announcers as they were in the mid 1990s.
While the graphics were a little dated for their time period (like most licensed video games), the illusion of racing on cable TV is what makes licensed videogames like this one popular.

 ESPN Classic - Super Mario had speed to burn
At 53, he set the then-world closed-course speed record of 234.275 mph in qualifying at the Michigan International Speedway in 1993.
When World War II ended, the borders were in dispute, and the Istrian Peninsula fell under Communist rule, swallowed up by Yugoslavia.
Essentially, the Andrettis lost everything, and in 1948, when the Tito regime of Yugoslavia allowed residents of Italian heritage to leave Istria, the family of five (there also was an older daughter, Annamaria) moved to a displaced persons camp in Lucca, about 45 miles from Florence.

 ESPNsoccernet - World Cup - Chang: World Cup overview
The current Brazilian squad is touted as potentially one of the finest teams in recent memory, promising to merge the flair and panache of Brazil's '82 team with the more pragmatic defensive approach favored by the '94 squad.
In the Brazilian lineup, Kaká is the 'yin' to Ronaldinho's 'yang' and is arguably one of the few players in the world worthy of comparison to his more illustrious counterpart.
Most experts have dismissed any notion of a new world order and written off both occurrences as the proverbial blip in the stars and expect the traditional powers to reassert their supremacy at this World Cup.

 World Championship Poker for Xbox Review - Xbox World Championship Poker Review
World Championship Poker is ultimately a decent effort, but only because of its online play.
Thanks to the popularization of the World Series of Poker tournament on ESPN, movies like Rounders, and the rise of poker celebrities like Annie Duke, Phil Helmuth, Daniel Negreanu, and Johnny Chan, you can't throw a brick nowadays without hitting someone who claims to be some manner of poker enthusiast.
World Championship Poker returns for a third time under the title All In, featuring a boosted roaster of additional famous players as well as new modes such as Scenario Mode, Multi-table online tournaments, and a Reputation system.

In the United States, the FIFA World Cup has begun to register in the public sporting consciousness, in large part due to the Stars and Stripes' relatively new ability to field a talented and competitive squad in the planet's greatest tournament.
With speed (DeMarcus Beasley, Eddie Johnson), skill (Landon Donovan, Kasey Keller), strength (Oguchi Onweyu) and veteran leadership (Claudio Reyna and Brian McBride), the Americans can play any way you want them to, and only experience seems to be lacking as they try to take the next step in 2006.
The World Cup will be played this June, and eagerly watched all over the world, but in only a month, it'll be gone until 2010.

 ESPNsoccernet - World Cup - Drehs: A team of confidence
Four years after the American's shocking run to the quarterfinal of the World Cup in South Korea, on the eve of the 2006 opening match against Czech Republic, the longest-tenured World Cup manager looked, sounded and carried himself like a man who believes his team is going to win.
Sixteen years ago, in its first World Cup match in 40 years, a U.S. squad comprised mostly of college kids was outworked and outplayed in a 5-1 loss.
And all week long here in Germany, the consistent focus of the international media has not been on the speed of DaMarcus Beasley or the goal-scoring ability of Brian McBride, but rather the impenetrable security surrounding the team as well as Arena's decision to allow the player's families to stay in the team hotel.

On the eve of the World Cup Luiz Filipe Scolari declared that although he had set Portugal the specific aim of finishing in the top eight, he would do everything in his power to try and enable his team to play seven matches in Germany.
And the signs are there that Scolari's remarkable personal world record of 9 consecutive victories at the World Cup may be extended some way yet.
Portugal will be delighted to have commenced their World Cup campaign with three points, while realising that an improved performance level is necessary if they are to go far in the tournament.

 ESPNsoccernet - World Cup - Switzerland News
The way the Ukrainian goalie set himself and did his low to the ground snake-like tactic, it looked like if the Swiss players had just placed the ball in the corner, or just get the ball off the ground a bit and he wouldn't be able to save it.
While this is obviously a shame for France (and good news for other teams in the group, although I feel bad using the term "good news" when referring to an injury), it's still a little scary to think that France still have Henry, Trezeguet, and Saha to rely on.
He is a forward who combines both speed and skill on the ball.

Speed is also a problem with revealing the flop, turn, and river.
In World Championship Poker (another game with great potential that fails miserably) you could at least control the speed at which the cards are dealt.

The Copper World Classic has struggled to attract a crowd to PIR in the last few years.
The irony of Sunday's inaugural Silver Crown race with these fat, slow, ugly toilets is that USAC managed to piss off three of the four car builders who did embrace the new cars.
ISC owns PIR and its influence is evident since the Copper World no longer has sprints or super modifieds -- now we've got a couple of third-tier NASCAR series where five laps without a caution is reason to cheer.
