ESPN 1, Me 0

ESPN won. They put Jessica Biel on Who's Now and I went out of my way to watch it. I don't feel very good about myself right now. For the first time ever, I felt some shame while watching ESPN, and I kept looking over my shoulder as the segment ran on.

Here is the reason Biel gave for choosing Steve Nash over LaDainian Tomlinson:

"I know what that guy looks like, and he's pretty hardcore."

Clearly, Biel was chosen to be on the panel for her sports prowess. I see a bright ESPN future for her. A Tony Kornheiser-Jessica Biel combo on PTI seems quite inevitable and unbeatable.

Given the ratings boost that I'm sure accompanied Biel's appearance, I can see an ESPN buyout of Playboy coming in the next 5-10 years.
