ESPN’s Adulation Of Yankees-Sox Rivalry Is Now In ‘Daydream Mode’

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is the greatest in all of sports. Other rivalries probably exist too, but sucks to that; let’s play toy soldiers with the Yankee and Sox some more. Hello, my name is ESPN and welcome to my website.

↵This is ESPN.com’s top story at the moment: a simulation of the purported all-time best Yankees against the all-time best Red Sox. They used a pretty sophisticated set of computations to figure it out. So basically, it’s a giant Rube Goldberg device that results in a marble rolling down the chute and ringing a dinner bell. Whoopee!

↵As long as ESPN has all them fancy supercomputers lying around, they may as well come up with some other, equally relevant questions to answer:

↵- Which NFL team is most like a dinner plate?
- If, five miles away from TPC Sawgrass, a young boy wore a bow tie and played a violin while his mother nodded in approval, who would win the Players Championship?
- If the Celtics were allowed to have 35 men on the court but had to play with sleeping bags over their bodies, could they beat the Hawks?
- What happens if you connect a camcorder to a television and then point the camcorder at the television??? (not a sports question, but Bill Simmons really wants to find out)
