ESPN will relaunch “Sports Reporters” as a stand-alone YouTube program six years after ending the program’s 29-year run on its flagship linear network.
The former Sunday morning stalwart’s revival will debut in mid-2023, according to the Sports Business Journal, which first reported the development. It will be hosted by ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap, the son of Dick Schaap, the legendary sports journalist who hosted “Sports Reporters” for more than a decade before his death in 2001.
“Sports Reporters” ran from 1988 to 2017 until it was canceled not long after the death of John Saunders, who had replaced Dick Schaap and served as longtime host. The show pioneered the sportswriter roundtable format that would later be used as a model for the long-running daily ESPN show “Around the Horn” and others.

Van Morrison's website was hacked last week, and the news of the Irish singer having a child was based on phony information. According to ABC News, Morrison's Los Angeles-based publicist Phil Lobel was quoted by an unidentified associate on Thursday as getting the report from the Morrison site. The Morrison Web site falsely stated that a woman identified as Gigi had just borne a son with Morrison. The singer issued a statement Dec. 31 denying the news of his new fatherhood and revealed the hacker's attack at http://www.vanmorrison.com. ABC reports that John Saunders (president of the European arm of the U.S. public-relations firm Fleishman-Hillard Inc.) contacted Morrison and his wife, Michelle, after the news broke. He told ABC news in...

Reports that Van Morrison had become a father again at 64 resulted from a hoax apparently because the singer's website was hacked, according to Agence France-Press.
Morrison said in a statement Thursday that the post stating that he fathered a child, George Ivan Morrison III, with wife-manager Gigi Lee was "utterly without foundation." He doesn't even know a Gigi Lee.
"Claims were made relating to my personal life in a 'statement' purporting to come from me," the statement read. "Once these claims were brought to our attention, they were taken down from the site. The comments ... did not come from me."
The statement was issued on Morrison's behalf by the Dublin branch of the U.S.-based public relations firm Fleishman-Hillard Inc. Morrison's Hollywood-based representative, Phil Lobel, told The Associated Press in an e-mail Thursday that the original announcement was based on the hacked website posting and "all those with Van Morrison...

- The 60th Annual DGA Awards have announced those who will be the honored guests at the upcoming dinner distinguishing outstanding directorial achievement in what was a splendid year of eye candy. Notably absent from this year's 5-list is of course David Fincher and his film Zodiac and Joe Wright for Atonement, but for the most part the nominees are a very much deserving pack. The winner will be announced January 26th - an interesting stat: only six times since the DGA Awards began in 1949 has the winner not gone on to win an Academy Award.Prez Michael Apted (from the 7-up films) had this to say about the cream of the cream..."2008 marks the 60th Anniversary of the DGA Awards," said Apted. "We are very proud to have today's five nominees join the illustrious list of directors that have been nominated for directorial excellence in feature filmmaking over the past 59 years.
