MSG Network is searching for the most overrated best New York based players of all time and you can help them by jacking off the egos of New Yorkers logging on and voting over at MSG.com
Titling the program The Most Overrated Players Of All Time probably wouldn’t appeal to viewers of the MSG Network, so they went with The Lineup.
The Lineup airs on Tuesdays at 10:30 PM, with the next episode airing on the 27th of April.
Speaking of which, my lone encounter with the MSG Network was catching a Canadian Football League game — Huzzah! As a Canadian, I love the utter insanity that occurs prior to the snap of the ball in the CFL. In the NFL, players can move parallel to the line of scrimmage, but any forward movement is a penalty. In the CFL, wide-receivers (there are generally 5 to 6 of them) assault the line of scrimmage like a disobedient wife.
The LineUp has actually assembled a pretty knowledgeable panel:
Will Leitch made DeadSpin — This is Good.
God Save the Fan was also pretty decent book. Leitch writes for New York magazine and contributes to the harem of go-to media sluts for any self-indulgent, self-loving, self-pleasuring male: The New York Times, GQ and Slate.
Steve Hirdt, the executive vice-president of Elias Sports Bureau, also contributes along with Sparky Lyle.
All of this goodness gets destroyed with the inclusion of Grade-A Jackass, Gary Carter.
In addition to this, MSG has apparently discovered the internetz. They’ll be giving away free shit in their interactive fantasy game.
When I think of interactive fantasy games, I think some of pretty kinky shit. I’d imagine there would be Donuts, Maple Syrup, Glory Holes and Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders somewhere in this game.
By playing such a lovely game, you can win terrific prizes:
Doc Gooden signed eightball baseball, anyone? Memorabilia from Mattingly, Torre, Jackson or Jeter?
Speaking of which, if anyone ever wants anything pimped, share it. I’ll drive your sales up at least 75% — I promise. The best part, I charge absolutely nothing.
