ESPN new segment called "Cover Alert"

Coops

I know musberger would usually mention the spread during games he called, but now they do game breaks for cover alerts... During Baylor/SMU they did a cover alert for Michigan state and then spoke on Baylor spread as well. Being that sports betting is illegal in 47 states, strikes me odd that ESPN would broadcast that... The winds of change are upon us fellas...

Ha I mentioned that to someone earlier today. Pretty cool. A bit strange they are embracing gambling but it's been a long time coming.

Tortuga
