Damn, you know, you are completely right. That fact totally slipped my mind. I will say this, it is not as blatant as the Coors Light Silver Spotlight, but it is there.
But then, that begs the question. It's an ESPN program broadcast from ESPN's version of Planet Hollywood. ESPN Zone is obviously another money maker for ESPN, but ESPN owns it. It's like Wayne using his basement to broadcast Wayne's World. He just happens to live there and it's convenient. But I do agree that it is an advertisement to some degree. It's a very thin line that again I think ESPN always treads.
