Deadspin
Off Wing Opinion has a fun story about those "This Is SportsCenter" commercials that, until recently, were being sold on iTunes: No one was buying them.
No, seriously: People were not willing to pay two bucks for a 30-second advertisement. We know! We're as surprised as you.
Earlier today, with the response both negative and tepid, ESPN decided to give out the commericals free. Which is a nice thing to do with advertisements. We bet they figure out a way to sell them on that ESPN Mobile thing, though; they'll sell anything not nailed down if it has the word "mobile" in it these days.
