Apparently the color coded electoral-college-like maps on SportsCenter and the .com weren’t enough, because yesterday, ESPN(2) debuted a new show based on those purdy maps.

Seriously.

Your hosts are Colin Cowherd and a random blonde lady who I didn’t recognize. You’d think that ESPN would realize that Cowherd’s presence would drive away viewers, but I guess they don’t.

According to the show’s section on the .com, fans can vote in real time on topics that the hosts discuss. And if you’re lucky, your Tweet will appear on the show. Monday’s questions included “Would it be fun to hang with Roger Federer?” (SportsNation voted No.) and “Celts the Favorite in the East?” (SN said Close Call. Typical East Coast crap.)

Given the time slot (4PM ET) I give it eight weeks before it’s replaced by the fourth editions of NFL/College Football Live.
