Love Kenny Mayne --- always have. Also love Stephen King --- always have to. "Christine" still scares me to this day. And "Children of the Corn" freaked me out for a year.
It's great to see King pitching for ESPN. The ESPN ads are always smarter than their audience. Show me a bad ESPN spot and I'll show you 5 great ones.
It also proves that New England can be funny. "No players with telekinetic powers please." Classic.
Psychokinesis is well-established in movies, television, computer games, literature, and other forms of pop culture. In the 1976 film Carrie, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, Sissy Spacek portrayed a troubled high school student with telekinetic powers. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, the first psychokinetic character in a film ever to be so recognized (Ellen Burstyn was the second, in 1980's Resurrection).
