Sportsnetwork.com Fans Select Best Sports Stories of 2004

HATBORO, Pa., Dec. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sports Network ("TSN") announced that it has posted its listings of the best sports stories of 2004, as selected by its user base with a thousand votes for one story/event or the other being valued at one point to tally the final results.

"Once the poll was concluded," indicated Kevin Spiegel, Director of Content for the very popular sports web site, "we asked specific editors within TSN, journalists and feature writers whose columns have become a staple of the site, to offer their views and expert reflections on the stories and events so chosen, from our CEO to a particular sports editor. In essence, the fans have spoken, having selected from a wide variety of happenings. ... Olympics to the courtroom, controversial to the inevitable, scandals to joyous events and records broken.

"We're not certain where other media from coast to coast stand on those we have published and commented upon but sports fans definitely, as with all things competitive, have an opinion. These can be argued from the den to the pub, office to New Year's party and into 2005 but there has to be a vote that is a starting point and it is posted on http://www.sportsnetwork.com/."

The poll results can be found at the following url on the web site of TSN- http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=other/misc/04eve nts-voting.htm ... and the coverage/commentary and analysis of each of the events chosen is posted at - http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=other/misc/event s04-story.htm

"This," concluded Mr. Spiegel, "is not the end-all, be-all of the top sports events of the past year but it is certainly the basis for differences of opinion and debatable conclusions. It is probably time for the red flags of the mind to be thrown onto the field but, as is often the case, 'What else is new?'"
