I told you the ESPN+ stream for Titans-Ravens Wild Card Weekend was going to be good.
ICYMI: Mina Kimes was featured in the ESPN+ watch-along stream for Titans-Ravens with Laura Rutledge, Dan Orlovsky, and Marcus Spears, along with Doug Kezirian, Joe Fortenbaugh, and Tyler Fulgham from Vegas. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than the booth broadcast – Lots of insight and chatter to keep the game lively, along with some real-time insight on the moving lines from the ESPN NFL Live and Daily Wager broadcast crew.
Around The Horn on Twitter The post Pablo Torre and Mina Kimes’ Around The Horn comments on violence against Asian Americans were a refreshing use of ESPN’s platform appeared first on Awful. Mina Kimes and Dianna Russini, two rising stars at ESPN who hosted a daily Twitter show in the week leading up to Super Bowl LIII, embody both trends. It’s just one way Kimes, a senior writer, podcast host, and TV commentator for ESPN, and Russini, an NFL host and reporter, are helping to pave the way for women in a male-dominated industry.
When Titans coach Mike Vrabel elected to punt on 4th-and-2 from the opponent 40 while trailing in the 4th quarter, Kimes reacted how all NFL fans reacted:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
The result is an instant new Kimes meme.
Don’t sleep on these ESPN megacasts on ESPN+, folks.

They didn't question Tennessee's decision to punt on 4th and 2 at all on the main broadcast.
On the ESPN+ broadcast, everybody in the room yelled WHAT!??!?!, Laura Rutledge quickly explained the analytics on why they should have gone for it, and @minakimes made this expression pic.twitter.com/TOKu5q6THE

Speaking of that disastrous call, here’s Mike Vrabel explaining the move.
We all make mistakes and miss opportunities, Mike. But that one is going to be mocked for a very long time.

© Provided by For The WinDavid Chang, the chef known for his Momofuku line of restaurants and his Netflix series Ugly Delicious, just made some incredible game show history.
On Sunday, he became the first-ever celebrity to win the top prize in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which means the charity he chose, Southern Smoke Foundation (which helps people in the restaurant industry during crises including the COVID-19 pandemic) gets $1 million.
The final question was a tough one: “Although he and his wife never touched a light switch for fear of being shocked, who was the first president to have electricity in the White House?”
Chang decided to phone a friend, and that happened to be … ESPN’s Mina Kimes! She ended up helping him with the answer: “It’s probably [Benjamin] Harrison.”
Chang decided to go for it and said Harrison. And he won!
I hope restaurants all across America give super soigne status to @minakimes 🙏. She’s no longer excommunicado https://t.co/gLbOH2qG29
