We at HLS are big time.  That’s right, big time.  And I’m sure all 3 of you can tell.  We’re so big time that ESPN recently invited one of our representatives to a VIP behind-the-scenes tour at their state of the art HQ and facilities in Bristol, CT.  And we figured it is our duty to share some of the highlights with our fans.

Now, we may not ever always agree with ESPN’s analysis and/or coverage of ND Football, but one thing we can say is this:  these dudes have sweet TV’s.  I mean, this setup is SICK.  With a few changes (cough, cough, NoMoreBobDavieonNDGames, cough), I could get used to watching games in a place like this.

To be certain, there are more pictures with The Biscuit sitting in Mike Golic’s hallowed ESPN Radio chair, and on the SportsCenter set, and dunking over Shaq’s pansy ass, but to maintain our anonymity those will remain forever squired away in the HLS vaults.  Yes, we have vaults. 

The tour included some cool stuff.  A few of the more memorable portions included…

Mike and Mike’s Radio Show Studio - Golic rules.

The Central News Room - this was badass.

ESPN Hoops - where I schooled Shaq.

College Gameday Studio - cruised by while they were filming, so we weren’t allowed in. Dissed.

SportsCenter Set - this was the coolest.  Easily. The. Coolest.  Too bad the damn sign is so big I couldn’t zoom out enough.  I sat in that desk and proclaimed ND BCS Champs 2009.  Can’t wait for them to run that tape.
