jim james/my morning jacket reference on espn

[slimkim]

hey... always cool to see the band make impact to people other than us...
so sportscenter tonite.  baseball highlights and the announcer said jim james of my morning jacket. i didn't hear it all, but freagin awesome.  but we never underestimate the boys in the studio at bristol...

[Bigsky]

They're everywhere...MMJ is spreading like a virus and I'm already infected :D

"Jim James is to My Morning Jacket what Melvin Mora is to the Baltimore Orioles."

During #2 of the Top 10 Plays of the Day

I can't decide if this is a bigger slap in the face to Carl Broemel or Nick Markakis. :-/      ;)

that is such an odd reference...

[Angry Ewok]

I think they probably just have pop references in a hat and ad lib without knowing what it is they're really talking about. Makes more of a connection with a younger audience when you drop names like that.

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

...or do you think MMJ payed ESPN to say something like that?

[joey_rogo]

Which espn guy said it? I seem to remember a similar mmj reference on sportscenter happening a year or so ago...

[buymycar]

Sounds like John Buccigross...he's always making analogies like that.

[joey_rogo]

Ahh yeah, it probably was Bucci. He seems to know a fair amount about today's music scene judging by the comments he makes in his mailbag articles.

[slimkim]

yep it was buccigross...

[capt. scotty]

man, I had ESPN on and and SC just ended, that was the 2nd Top Play, and I heard no reference!

were you just watching the one that ended at 2 PM EST too slimkim?

It was def John Anderson who was on this SC, so maybe thats why. I figured it was either him, Bucci (whos the man bc he reps hockey), Scott Van Pelt, or Neil Everett

Man im pissed I didnt just catch it!

[mymonkeyfriend]

neil everett said that 3 years ago as well. it made me sick, i hate ESPN and dont need them pooing in my lush MMJ yard

Had to be Buccigras.  He's done this before.  See here:

Nothing wrong with a dude having good taste in music and dropping it in every once in a while.

I know he's done MMJ, The Hold Steady, QOTSA, and others.

Yeah, I got no problem with it...were all here talking about how their gonna blow up when this album drops, right?

I mean, shit, Id def rather have Bucci or one of the boys rep Jim and MMJ then have them on American Idol and American Eagle! In the words of Clay Davis, "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT"

[Dillsnufus]

remnants on what it.....sports reel or somethin? that would be cool

CBS used What a Wonderful Man for a golf highlights montage last year.  It seemed odd, but made me feel less bad about watching golf on tv.

... Radiohead, Pearl Jam and the Arctic Monkeys too
