The worst sports journalism ever?
ESPN’s coverage of The Decision last night ranks right up there. … But for my money, John Tesh’s Olympics coverage still stands the test of time as the most wretched of the wretched. Rush Limbaugh’s brief stint as an NFL Monday Night Football announcer also ranks up there. … Dumbest stretch-out-the-hype question last night: “Do you still bite your nails?” … Steve Buckley was hammering into ESPN yesterday. … God, I hope the Celts beat Miami next year. So help me God, I’ll even root for Kobe in the finals if the Celts can’t stop and stomp ‘em. … Now for the moment all of Boston and America have been waiting for: The Hub Blog Decision. Take it away, John Tesh:

JT: How do you feel?
HB: I feel good. I feel humbled.
JT: When did you make your decision?
HB: This morning. I made it this morning. Just a few minutes ago. It was tough. A lot of things and thoughts were pulling me in different directions. My home. My career. My financial future. But I know it was the right decision.
JT: Do you still have any doubts?
HB: No. None. I woke up this morning feeling good. There’s no way of faking it. I’m feeling good.
JT: Does anyone else know about your decision?
HB: No. I was tempted to make a call to someone this morning. But I decided not to after I made my decision.
JT: Do you still bite your nails?
HB: Well, I kind of nibble on my nails. I don’t really bite them.
JT: OK, all of Boston and America have been biting their nails waiting for your decision. Are you ready? Do you want to throw some powder in the air before telling everyone?
HB: Ha, ha, ha.
JT: OK, here it is, Hub Blog. … Are you or are you not going to call in sick this morning to work?
HB: I’m going to work. I’m not calling in sick. I’m not going to fake it. Can't do it. Can't pull it off. I feel too good. I’m going to work.
JT: That’s amazing. There it is, folks. He’s going to work.
