  6. Walt Disney Co. (DIS)’s ESPN sports network is talking with Apple Inc. (AAPL) about including the WatchESPN application on the computer maker’s television device, network executive Sean Bratches said.

    ESPN subscribers with AppleTV would gain access to the network’s Internet service on their sets. The sports network, which today announced programming for the TV season starting in September, said a deal isn’t imminent.

    “We’re a platform-agnostic content company,” Bratches, the network’s executive vice president of affiliate and advertising sales, said today in an interview. “To the extent that in the future there’s an opportunity with Apple to authenticate through the pay-TV food chain as we’re doing with Microsoft, that’s something that we will participate in.

    “We ain’t talking about the game. We talkin’ about practice.

    When you come into the arena, and you see me play, you see me play, don’t you?  You see me give everything I got, right?  But we talkin’ bout practice right now.  We talkin’ bout practice.”

    Today is the 10 year anniversary of Allen Iverson’s epic press conference on practice.

    From WikipediaFresh off their trip to the Finals, Iverson and the Sixers entered the 2001-2002 season with high expectations, but were plagued by injuries, and only able to muster a 43-39 record to just sneak into the playoffs. Despite playing in only 60 games that season and being hampered by injuries, Iverson averaged 31.4 points per game to earn his second consecutive scoring title. The 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs 3-2 in the five game series. After the defeat, [Coach Larry] Brown criticized Iverson for missing team practices. Iverson responded by saying, “We’re sitting here, I’m supposed to be the franchise player, and we’re in here talking about practice,” and went on a rant that included the word “practice” over twenty times.

    I’ll never forget happening to see this live on TV.
