Lab rats

We're not really sure exactly how the newly born ESPN Innovation lab is going to function (envision the sporting version of scientists at work on fossils behind plexiglass walls at museums). But given their commitment to info-graphics and other color analysis in a "virtual environment" this bears watching. Details are scant (ESPN will not provide the cost nor size of the lab, and we only know it employs five people as of now) but we'll continue to keep an eye on any developments.
