Why does ESPN have a Show about Anti-Virus on it??? or has that joke lost everyone here too?!?!? LOL

[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.
I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.
Lastly, note: I also write for TheLibertyBeacon (https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard), where I drop pieces (normally weekly) on Saturdays.]

and indeed some BeforeItsNews insights – upcoming Film/Movie in development information to follow (see/read/hear here first)…

Before I get into the Jokey-Jokes stuff, let me start by saying: “It was great having Peter on. He is such a Wealth of Knowledge and peeps are going to get from this/him something of value they’ll not get anywhere else. Peter is a Treasure. Sure glad he put all his experiences with ESPN and Cable-TV early days in a book (“The Early Days of ESPN”) and I look forward to seeing it in Movie form!” You for sure want hear/see all the TEA Peter spills in the Video (between my lame-puns)….

Got Call from #SAVAGED (of #SavagedUnfiltered, which I cohost often as #JOKEsterJOE) & appears I’ve #UPSET folks @ ESPN?!?!

This has ZERO to do with John McAfee’s Life / Strangeness / Conspiracies*, just about the Anti-Virus company with his name still and the PAT MCAFEE (no relation) SHOW on ESPN people miss the Joke.

I am a former IT guy, and again as #JOKEsterJOE just cannot pass any pun no matter how lame (and even in case like this where I knew the Joke would fly over many peoples’ heads). 

 

* or did I somehow imply a NEW CONSPIRACY (connection betw. John/Pat) somehow for those who DO GET THE JOKE but just not responded?!?!? LOL

 

Had zero to do w/ Mr. Fox per se (other than his Founding ESPN, Pat does appear on that Network now, etc., no connection beyond that). Maybe I should have went with other Jokes I did not use?  Like…
* is he Megan Fox’s grandpa and could he hook me up with a Blind Date with her in the future?!?!?
* some also lame connection Joke of him with FOXNEWS???
* a Homer Joke (The Simpsons, FOX Network)????
* something about British Hounds and Fox hunting?!?!
* a Peter Fox in the ESPN Hen House?!?!?
LOL (hey, I make myself LOL, so to Heck with y’all LOL)
or am I just losing more folks with these even lamer Jokes with only connection with him and his last name?!?! LOL  

These are just Jokes folks, we gotta lighten-up.  What is there to get “UPSET” about here?!?!? Really, anyone able to answer that for me – am I missing something?!?!?

 

Love Ya all…. Take Care…. God Bless…

Yes, WORD-PLAY, but not like LEFT and their Twisting / Warping Language to Marxist means/ends.

The episode features an interview with Peter Fox, one of the original producers and founders of the ESPN sports network. He shares the story of how ESPN came to be, starting with the idea of providing pay-per-view Connecticut basketball games through cable companies. However, the cost of renting AT&T landlines was too expensive, until someone suggested using satellite transmission. They secured one channel on an RCA satellite and obtained funding from Getty Oil after a struggle to find investors. Fox describes the hectic 300 days of launching ESPN and the challenges they faced.
 

Peter discusses how the original Connecticut team behind ESPN was eventually pushed out by a New York group brought in by Getty Oil, including executives from NBC Sports. He also shares his perspective on ESPN’s evolution, such as the addition of non-sports programming like the Pat McAfee show, and the potential for incorporating more elements like sports movies or wrestling content from organizations like WWE.
 

Towards the end, Fox plugs his book (“The Early Days of ESPN”) about the early days of ESPN and the unsung team behind its creation. He also mentions being a consultant for a potential Hollywood film based on the book, as well as his involvement with SportsEd TV, an instructional sports network.
