Simulated Press Conference

ESPN aired a simulated Boston Red Sox press conference. Why? Not enough news on NFL Sunday? Did Disney, ESPN's parent, have a leased studio they needed to squeeze all they could get out of? Did they want to be as cool as NBC with their West Wing fake debate? News as entertainment is a given. ESPN with their sports anchors' catch phrases and their use of pop music and MTV-style cut editing make watching sports highlights fun. But I want a sports network to deliver sports, not acting.
