MENDOZA IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST SOFTBALL PLAYERS OF ALL TIME AND HAS BEEN DOING ESPN’S SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL GAMES FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. THE METS SAY SHE WILL STILL KEEP HER JOB ON ESPN TOO, THAT’S NOTHING NEW IN THE BROADCAST BUSINESS, ALEX RODRIGUEZ IS ON THE YANKEES PAYROLL, AND WORKS FOR ESPN TOO. I GUESS THEY DON’T SEE ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST THERE.
THE ATTENDANCE FOR THE SUPER BOWL WAS 70,081. REPORTS SAY FANS BOUGHT WAY MORE BEERS THAN THEY DID HOT DOGS. THERE WERE OVER 117 THOUSAND BEERS SOLD, AND JUST 16 THOUSAND HOT DOGS. THAT EQUATES TO ABOUT 1.7 BEERS PER FAN, AND JUST 1 OUT OF 4 FANS GOT A HOT DOG. WE ARE TOLD MOST OF THE PURCHASES WERE PUT ON CREDIT CARDS.
