Because Steve Phillips’ mock press conferences weren’t cringe-inducing enough, ESPN will feature a series of “Santa Kruk” segments during SportsCenter next week, in which he will present gifts to some major league teams (watch them all here, if you dare). Among them, a “goat catcher” for the Cubs, a rocket scientist for the Astros and tickets to a Sister Sledge concert for the Pirates. It has all the trappings of public access television, but with the reach of tens of millions of homes.
