We discovered something rather interesting today. Fox TV’s “Best Damn Sports Show” is still airing original episodes. Seriously, we had no idea until we received a press release this week touting Amanda Beard as a new, permanent “correspondent” for the show.

Not surprisingly, GoDaddy.com is all over her appearances for the FSN production, which we quit watching when they got rid of that cool Rolling Rock basement bar-looking set.

Safe to say having Beard on the show will be an improvement on the current “Best Damn” output (so long as she’s breathing). Especially based on what we hear about her role on the show (thankfully, there’s no serious reportage).

CURVACEOUS COMMERCIALS TO COMPLEMENT CORSO & CO: The Go Daddy Girls will soon be bouncing their way to a Ball State-Baylor broadcast near you:

The ARIZONA REPUBLIC reports that Go Daddy Group Inc. has signed a multimillion-dollar deal to sponsor college football games on ESPN. The domain-name registar is best known for airing risque ads during the Super Bowl - and snagging racy racer Danica Patrick as a spokesmodel person.

Starting September 22, the curvaceous commercials will be filling up ad slots on the Worldwide Leader’s game-day cleavage coverage. Lucky fans should be able to catch a glimpse (or maybe more) of the perky promo gals up to 500 times this season.

Besides, ESPN should be used to boobs on their broadcasts by now. (And we don’t mean the guy with the sign.)

DANICA WON’T BRING SEXY BACK, SO WE WON’T WATCH: SPORTS BUSINESS DAILY reports “GoDaddy aired three different 30-second ads during ABC’s coverage of Indianapolis 500 Bump Day yesterday, two of which featured Danica Patrick. One of Patrick’s practice runs immediately followed the first ad.

“The two ads featuring Patrick emphasized her competitive spirit and driving ability rather than her sex appeal, which one may not expect from GoDaddy.”

Emphasizing her driving over bodily assets? Now we know why no one saw it.
