ESPN Ultimate Remote…’Nuff Said!
I want this! I want this so bad, I am dropping hints like a mad man around here for Father’s Day gift ideas. I guess I am like the ordinary male who marvels in the world of sports. Don’t get me wrong, there are women out there too who can hold their own, but I think men are just that much crazier. When you think sports coverage, automatically ESPN comes to mind. They have created what we know as sports coverage today. Done watching the game? Flip it over to SportsCenter to relive the highlights. Got a few hours to kill before kick-off? The crew at ESPN will cover the upcoming games to death. They feed us every statistic available, including how many touchdowns some guy threw after eating a bowl of corn flakes the night before versus ice cream. And we gobble it up, take it as gospel, argue when their wrong, and it becomes this whole routine. For years, I have started my morning off with SportsCenter. Then, on the ride to work, I flip it over to ESPN radio, and again on the ride home. I think I may be mentally ill, but I don’t even care. I love it and can’t get enough!
So this is what’s behind the strong desire for this amazingly awesome new technological must-have. The ESPN Ultimate Remote is the first and last remote you should ever consider. First of all, it is a universal remote, so you will no longer need one remote to turn on the TV, then the remote for the cable box, then another remote if you are planning on watching a DVD, and wait, don’t forget the remote for the surround sound stereo system. Talk about batteries! With this, you will be able to hook up everything to one single remote, ending your confusion and headaches (and creating even more confusion when grandma comes over to babysit). What makes this better than the average universal remotes is that it is a wireless remote with an LCD screen, and is equipped with a wireless network connectivity that will keep you connected as if you were working in the studio yourself.
Changing the channels is its least important feature. How about downloading content, keeping tabs on your fantasy league teams, getting up-to-the-second scores and highlights, info on all the games, statistics, league leaders, browse TV listings, text message your buddies, and even check the weather. And all this without the TV even being turned on. You simply add it to your existing wifi network, point at the device you want to control, and add it to your remote. You never have to leave your couch again. Of course, you may want to invest in a bedpan if you decide to take it that far.
I am only scratching the surface here. If you want to see more about it, or are seriously going to buy me, er…I mean somebody, one, check it out here at Amazon. I feel that this is THE device that brings my entire network together. If I had a zillion dollars, I would buy every guy I knew one of these. I have already printed out three different views of this product and placed them strategically on my wife’s nightstand, her pillow, oh and on the mirror in our bathroom. I hope she gets the hint. I still have to work on it, we only have a few short weeks left. And how perfect would this be for the rest of baseball season? And the playoffs? Oh then football season…man I don’t know if I can wait that long!
