ESPN to Create a Sports MySpace

My ideas are going faster then I can create them.. First it was the Beer Belly and now this. ESPN is going to create a MySpace for sports teams. This is just getting out of hand. I know Brew and I talked about this, and also Joe and I did several months ago. Its a great idea.

The sports / myspace idea is an awesome. Just think of all the fantasy sports geeks on the web everyday offering up poor fantasy trades, populating their lineups, and trolling message boards out there to drool over every little prospect, news report and whatever else concerning their team. These are die hard fans, and if you can round them up in one place, thing of the marketing power you’d have. You could promote to teams, schools, car flag pushers, the possibilities are endless.

The thought of anyone else making millions off of my idea makes me tear up!

I guess there is still hope, ESPN has been known to execute, (how do i say this nicely?)…..HORRIBLY on some projects with lots of potential. *See ESPNmotion, mobileESPN, ESPNpodcenter.

with that said:

If anyone knows where I can get some investment capital please let me know!!! I can get these ideas up and running before the rest of these chumps and make some $texas$ for us all. I might as well just start jotting them down here so that I can at least get credit for them when they are mercilessly stolen and someone else takes credit, so here goes some:

(at a high level, you’re not getting details unless you got the cheddar!)
Recipe Search Engine, Health Search Engine (frankly, webMD is poop), a Digg.com / College Humor hybrid (and for other verticles), Social Networking for different verticles (sports, women, elderly), geo-aware social networking (the next big thing you heard it here first)…and the list goes on… I’ll add to it later

*And for the record, Joe and I had the whole MySpace idea before MySpace did but we didn’t think it would catch on. WHOOPS!
