That is an awfully long article for it to not mention Kyle Dake... repeatedly... for minutes at a time.

Don't worry: He'll be ruining the Nickal/Dean final by running his mouth for 7 plus continuous minutes.

Not sure how many of you read the article, but the "Off The Mat" airing of the finals on ESPN3 looks very intriguing, to say the least. Maybe a little more in-depth for those of us looking for something more than the basic wrestling language. The part about it being "unrestricted by television parameters" caught my attention. I highly doubt someone like Lee Kemp will give us a "fist to the back" comment. Haha

This feature has potential to be outstanding.

Tom,

Can you pin this to the top of the board, thru Nationals, for quick reference?

 

[Cowbell Man]

That is some AWESOME sounding coverage!! I wasn't in need, having all mats going at once at my house but this really is a huge step up.

Well Done ESPN!

I watched the Off The Mat segment the last two years. You will not be disappointed. Dan Gable was also part of the coverage the last 2 years.

If TR Foley appears on this year's "Off the Mat," it will mark one consecutive appearance with no response to Flo's article about Olympic reffing corruption. For those of you keeping track.

ESPN in the San Francisco Bay Area is not carrying.. any tournament coverage.

ESPN in the San Francisco Bay Area is not carrying.. any tournament coverage.

So I will be traveling to the Bay Area on business and just looked at Comcast's schedule. They are carrying the tournament on ESPN starting at 4 PM Pacific on Thursday and 5 PM Friday and Saturday (see link). I'd find it surprising the programming would get bumped given that the network is promoting it heavily throughout the day.
