IT APPARENTLY WAS NOT NAMED AFTER BERMAN’S OFFICE: In the tradition of ESPN Mobile, “Who’s Now?” and the “Budweiser Hot Seat”, ESPN has yet another sports media innovation in the pipeline that will keep us infinitely entertained: “ScoreCenter”.

The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER informs us that next year ESPN will launch ScoreCenter.com, “which eventually will provide live scores for 23 sports in 180 countries.”ESPN President George Bodenheimer “the goal is to provide live scoring from every significant sport on Earth (and) encompass six languages and have country-specific content and advertising.”

The site will be managed by ESPN units in Bristol, Connecticut, N.Y., London and Bangalore, India.

Bangalore? Thank god the Outback kid got out when he did.
