When FS1 announced that TMZ Sports would be airing on their network every night at midnight, it was met with a sigh and an eye roll. There’s no way this would work out well, right?
But hey, some of the content on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning was at least somewhat related to current events in sports.
For example, which number Kobe Bryant would have retired with the Lakers.
Could Kobe Bryant have BOTH numbers retired? @TMZ_Sports discusses.https://t.co/mKBRKGRnRe

Talking about which former NFL player’s wife is in great shape.
This ex-NFL player's wife is in REALLY good shape.
Who is it? @TMZ_Sports tells you.https://t.co/UMGVeDSZqS

Wait, WHAT?
Yeah – guess that booty. And in case you’re curious, the former NFL wife isn’t even known for being a sports wife – it’s Jessica Simpson, the wife of former 49ers tight end Eric Johnson (who last played in the league in 2007). Calling her an “ex-NFL player’s wife”, while technically true, is just a bit misleading. It’s like talking about the Kardashians because hey, Lamar Odom!
But really, we shouldn’t be surprised by this – it *is* TMZ after all. I don’t think any of us were expecting well-reasoned, ten minute debates about nuanced sports topics.
This is your ESPN alternative, folks.
