In case you somehow missed one of the promos, which seem to be running once every 3 minutes on ESPN, the sports network will debut "HuStle," its TV movie on the fall of Pete Rose on Saturday at 8 p.m. The movie has a couple of big names, actor Tom Sizemore in the lead and one-time big-name director Peter Bogdonovich behind the camera. ESPN has turned its "SportsCenter" show into a corporate whore by running "news" stories on its production. The Cincinnati Post calls the Charlie Hustle biopic accurate but lacking soul, wit and insight. Sports Illustrated's Mark Bechtel says he couldn't pay attention to what was going on in the movie because of the pelt on Sizemore's head.
