Your cousin Joe from St. Vincent's is a moron, and a blogging whiz.
The lack of highlights on the Interwebs is a drawback yes, but SportsCenter only shows 30-second clips to get to the profound insights of Digger Phelps. I actually got most of my football highlights this year off of NFL.com, which were lengthy packages that gave a good sense of the game without having too sit through another Berman-ism. (Although when I'm alone, I do refer to myself as Sauer-Kraut). And who needs ESPN for stats, box scores, etc.? Are you aware of DSL?
There will never be another SportsCenter circ 1992, but these sites and many like them at least make sports media fun, the games themselves are on their own. 
The bigger question: Is Dane Cook the 21st century Neil Simon?
