• Matt Iseman from Sports Soup on Versus
Sports Soup is patterned after Talk Soup/The Soup but with a sports twist. The show is hosted by Matt Iseman who took the easy route to television fame. He went to Princeton University, and then got his M.D. from Columbia before ditching medicine for comedy.
I talked to Matt by phone last week about the show, how he became a sports fan, and who we will probably never see him go after on Sports Soup. Check it out after the jump.
ESPN and a bunch of athletes and celebrities were in Los Angeles this week for the taping of the ESPY awards. I got a chance to spend a couple of days at the ESPY Style Studio to take in the scene and speak to some players.
There was all kinds of loot for the ESPY participants to pickup including Skull Candy headphones, Karl Lagerfeld sunglasses, Redpepper jeans, and Kefir, which is the health drink of choice for a lot of jocks.
It was a good trip overall, and after the jump I interview a Heisman trophy winner, a couple of NBA champions, and a guy that’s not a big fan of sports blogs. Read the full story

When DJ Skee’s not droppin mixtapes, he’s working on Skee TV. If I every catch up with Skee, I’m gonna ask him is being a white DJ like being a black QB? I’m guessing he won’t care either way.
The above video was shot during the NBA All-Star weekend of 007 in Las Vegas. The big Hip Hop releases in the 4th quarter of 2006 were Snoop Dogg’s Blue Carpet Treatment, Nas’ Hip Hop Is Dead, Young Jeezy’s Thug Motivation 102, and Jay-Z’s Kingdom Come. I thought the Nas album was the best of the bunch, but according to the scientific, 2 man study in this video, NBA players preferred Jay-Z and Jeezy. And Juke… Who, in America, is known as “Joc”.
