Dear ESPN,

Dear ESPN,

Learn some anatomy. There is no such thing as an orbital bone. You can call it an "orbit". You can call it the "orbital region" which is, in fact, made of seven different bones. However, there is no such thing in the human body that is called the "orbital bone". Stop making up anatomical terms. Either refer to which specific bone is broken or use the proper term. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Eb

Re: Dear ESPN,

Yeah, espn makes quite a few such boners on a daily basis.

Re: Dear ESPN,

It's widely referred to as an orbital bone. Just deal with it. Ignore it if you don't like it.

Re: Dear ESPN,

would you prefer the term, "broken eye socket?"

That would work.

Re: Dear ESPN,

If you can complain about that, I want to complain about any sports guy talking about giving 110%.

Hello!!! That is mathematically impossible. Shut the hell up.

In the context of how most analysts/commentators use it, I'd say you're right.

But if we were to nitpick, the real question is 110% of what? If they're talking 110% of average effort given, then that's perfectly possible. Kind of like it's very possible for me to give to charity 110% of what I gave last year.

you mean the place where the only two sports that exist are football, and basketball, with the occasional yankees and red sux banter?

Re: Dear ESPN,

Did somebody on the Bills injure their oribital bone, orbital region, orbital, or eye socket? If not, I don't care.

I wouldn't even necessarily say that "sports" exist there.

Re: Dear ESPN,

ESPN moved from Sports Reporting to Sports Entertainment a long time ago.

Creating news over reporting it.

Outside of Bob Ley & Scott Van Pelt, the rest are doing bad standup and are all replaceable.

Re: Dear ESPN,

Dear ESPN,

I won't complain about your medical knowledge since i'm already weary of your sports coverage...and you are supposed to be good at that.
