Something good from ESPN
ESPN draws alot of criticism for it's coverage of sports, but there are times when ESPN does something good and this month, the "Worldwide Leader In Sports" is doing something good.
According to a Press Release from ESPN, the annual SportsCenter My Wish returns this month. What is SportsCenter My Wish? ESPN is teaming up with the Make A Wish Foundation to make sports themed dreams come true for children who face life threatening medical conditions.
I'm not a regular SportsCenter viewer, so I really had no idea that ESPN has done this for the last several years. This is a very cool feature and during the slowest sports month of the year, this is a great idea. SportsCenter My Wish is July 17-20.

Update on the VERSUS rebrand
The Sports Business Journal is reporting that the NBC Sports Group is still planning on giving VERSUS a makeover, including a new name. However, that change is expected to occur by January 1, 2012.
That change is later than expected as I was looking for a change sometime in August to coincide with the start of college football and hopefully the NFL season. However though, doing the change on or near January 1 will create a buzz as that is when NBC get's going with their NHL schedule and the annual Winter Classic.
