'Dan Le Batard Show' Spices Up ESPN Vs. FOX Rivalry

ESPN

1. Every sports media company outside of Barstool Sports likes to play things safe and avoid publicly tweaking its competitors.

Fortunately, the 'Dan Le Batard Show' is different than most sports shows out there and has always made it a habit to push the envelope. (Remember when Le Batard gave his MLB Hall of Fame ballot to Deadspin?) They pushed the envelope again on Wednesday when they ran a mock promo for a Fox Sports University channel, or as they called it, FU. Get it?

Anyway, the parody, which cited the ways FOX has copied ESPN and mentions how FOX's college pregame show goes to "the fifth-best game of the day," was very well done and very funny.
