Grantland was on the fritz yesterday, bringing up an error page when a visitor tried to access the site.  Normally, this would not be newsworthy.  It happens.  It's part of this whole internet experience.

But a funny thing happened when you went to Grantland's homepage.  The site redirected to a page showing ESPN.com's top searches... and I was horrified to see the results below:

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!  #1 First Take?  #2 Skip Bayless?  #3 Stephen A. Smith?  #4 some stupid game?  #6 Tim Tebow???

The top three searches on one of the top sports in the world are related to one of the worst shows on television.

I'm beginning to think ESPN and First Take is not the true problem.

It's us.

Wigan Athletic upset Manchester City to win their first ever FA Cup in a 1-0 thriller at Wembley Stadium.  Wigan's Ben Watson scored the dramatic game winner off a corner just after the 90 minutes were up.

Fox's Gus Johnson was on the call and absolutely lost his everloving mind when Watson's header found the back of the net.  Johnson's call was so explosive, his partner Ian Wright was clearly heard laughing and clapping along in the booth while Gus's brain matter was surely being wiped off the seats in front of them.  

ESPN is reportedly having discussions with both AT&T and Verizon about potentially subsidizing data plans for their mobile subscribers. That is, ESPN would pay the carrier so that any bandwidth you accrued on their sites watching videos wouldn't count towards your monthly data cap. Then, you'd get smashed in the face with more advertising, and the situation would be win/win for all parties involved.

The man with the best facial expressions in sports television, Bomani Jones, is reportedly moving to ESPN for full time work.  After various radio stints, appearances on ESPN programs like Around the Horn, Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable, and Outside the Lines, as well as a spell at SB Nation, Jones will settle in at Bristol on a permanent basis.

And, as Steve Lepore from SB Nation reports, ESPN had to win a bidding war with Fox to keep Jones on its network airwaves:

Last month famed sportscaster Al Michaels was arrested in Southern California on suspicion of DUI.  Now Radar Online is reporting that Michaels will face formal DUI charges because of the arrest, with his first court date set for June 26th:

I woke up today thinking, 'What's missing from my life?' My mom would say it's a bride. My dad might say it's a seven-figure salary and a retirement fund. But I've realized that, more than either of those luxuries, I've been waiting for a television cartoon featuring Mike Tyson, a magical face tattoo and a talking pigeon. Ideally, the pigeon would serve as Tyson's sidekick as the two teamed up to solve mysteries. 

Thanks to Adult Swim, my life is now in order.

All of the buzz surrounding the upcoming America's Cup (if you were aware enough to hear any of it) was centered at the influx of speed, technology, and danger that the new AC72 Catamaran was transforming the event as well as the sport itself. 60 Minutes Sports was wise in selecting the upcoming event as one of its featured segments for their upcoming June episode. Below is the teaser of the feature that aired in this month's edition.

Dan Shaughnessy is at it again. The long-time Boston Globe columnist posted an article on Wednesday entitled "David Ortiz rejects talk of steroid use." I'm sure you can see where this one is heading already. In the article, Shaughnessy not so subtlely says that Ortiz is taking steroids (with only a 2009 New York Times column stating Ortiz tested positive in 2003 as any link with him to PEDs). The entire column is really just a massive hit piece on Ortiz for playing out of his mind to start the year, but it really can all be summed up in the first paragraph.
