The Feb. 28 Mexico-U.S. world CUP qualifier was ESPN's SportsCenter Showcase that evening—chosen by online voters over a Heat-Sixers game. The next day ESPN Radio's Tony Kornheiser, noting that the match aired on ESPN2, insinuated that the choice had been made with promotional interests in mind. "You know what portion of the show that should have been on?" he mused. "Did You Know? as in, Did you know there was a soccer game?"...ESPN's fair-haired NBA analyst Rick Bucher is sporting a soul patch. Yeah, he's fly.
