Note to ESPN: Stuart Scott can do as many Def Poetry Jams as he wants, but SportsCenter just ain't hip. Sure, it's cool you want your viewers to participate in the show by sending in their best sports home videos, but in limiting submissions to VHS tapes, you're effectively keeping out everyone except your grandpa demographic. (And for some reason, I'm not sure I'd want to watch their athletic highlights.)

Who the hell still owns a camcorder that can record on tapes? Even Wal-Mart stopped selling VHS last year (CNN).

A good idea would be to partner with a site like YouTube, which already has a trove of great amateur videos. (E! just did that with CyberSmack!) A terrible idea would be to exclude interested fans by sticking with a dead technology.
