Idiots Write About Sports

Lord knows I hate picking on ESPN — The Lord: You do? I always got the impression that you kind of dug it. — but when the Worldwide Sports Leader is running a Mock NBA Draft Lottery, what else can I do but pick away?
Seriously, this is what it’s come to? Glorified exercises in random number generation? We’re talking about ping-pong balls being randomly selected out of a hopper. What is so difficult about this concept that we need to break out the Macromedia Flash to illustrate the fact that the Atlanta Hawks are likely to wind up with modest recompense for their terrible, terrible season?
On the bright side, by being made aware that the Draft Lottery is on TV tonight, I can now conciously avoid tuning in, instead of unintentionally missing the broadcast as I was previously planning.
