ESPN Is Getting The Led Out

Can anyone explain to us why on ESPN video right now, you can watch a live performance of "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin? We at the Deuce endorse any excuse to include a Led Zeppelin video into any blog post, but we must wonder, how is this AT ALL related to sports? Granted, it is quite a classic performance of the seminal band doing one of their most revered songs, but the fact remains that it has nothing to do with sports at all. They didn't even intercut the live video with sports moments. ESPN might be bringing back the E to their SPN it seems. In any case, enjoy the song and rare live performance caught on film, it'l probably stick with you most of your day.

They have no stake in the new release of the DVD Led has or their new tour and album? I wonder why they're hyping them up. Strange...
