This is Sportscenter

Anyone catch this inside look into what goes on to putting on an hour of Sportscenter on ESPN? I thought it was pretty entertaining, and informational, and chaotic at times. It did remind me of Sports Night, but it seemed to be on a higher notch in terms of intensity.

Seeing Kenny Mayne bust his butt trying to keep up with a PA was hilarious, as were the placement of the mascots at different points in the 2 hours of coverage. Scott (the non Stuart version) was pretty funny in the PMC4 room.

And yes, the "talent" are on the show because they make it look pretty easy, like pro's should make it look.

Although, I do think it should be a TV Talk thread.

Seriously, what was with all those mascots on the set, or near the set?

It's a joke. In a bunch of their commercials, you'll see mascots hanging around the office in the background.

Well, I know it was a joke, but I think it was pushing it if they wanted to really provide the view into the interworkings of the show itself. This is not to say I didn't laugh whenever a mascot showed up out of the blue for no good reason.
