This Saturday, Fox Sports 1 will launch across the country with the goal of challenging and perhaps one day overtaking ESPN as the the preeminent sports network. There will be an inevitable learning curve, but as of right now they haven't had the opportunity to make mistakes and be ridiculed — with the exception of that stupid football robot, Cleatus — so, to help them out, I've compiled a bunch of things ESPN has done that FS1 should probably avoid repeating.
When they compare Kobe Bryant with a real mamba.
When they compare Ben Roethlisberger to a polar bear.
When they create white Michael Vick.
