OK, sometimes you just have to swing when you get a pitch grooved right over the plate.
A news release about the network’s green initiative extending to ESPN’s signature awards show includes these sentences: “The 2009 ESPYs will represent a major step in ESPN’s continued commitment to environmentally friendly productions as the event, for the first time, will be carbon neutral. And, by implementing stringent recycling and composting measures, the ESPYs will again be virtually waste-free.”
That is, waste-free except for the couple of hours of time the telecast uses up.
