ESPN talks with Blue Square Premier end
According to The Guardian, ESPN have pulled out of talks with the Blue Square Premier. The reason given seems to be that they don't think it makes good business sense, which is fair enough.
The same article also says ESPN are still negotiating with the FA over the remaining FA Cup rights.

ESPN plans 'sports portal'
According to The Guardian, ESPN plan on launching a 'sports portal' website. This will accompany the new channel, and do a similar job to the Sky Sports site and the Setanta site before they went under. No name for the site has been decided, and there are currently no plans to launch a VOD service along with it.

ESPN to miss out on NFL?
It has been announced over the past couple of weeks which channels had grabbed the rights to showing NFL, with Five and Sky grabbing most of them. However, Monday night games were still available, and it was expected that ESPN would snap this up.
Unfortunately today it was revealed that there is unlikely to be any information regarding Monday night games for at least the first month of the season (which starts in 3 days). Couple this with Sky not having red button games this season, understandably many NFL fans are unhappy.
Hopefully ESPN can pick up the Monday night games, but it's likely to be some time before anything is done about it.
