"Who's Now" was a daily series aired during SportsCenter throughout July 2007, in which viewers helped ESPN determine the ultimate sports star by considering both on-field success and off-field buzz. That's from Wikipedia and they have to be impartial. If you were to ask any sports fan, they would tell you that the series is one of the most patently contrived, idiotic nonsense to ever hit the airwaves. Most people instantly change the channel - to absolutely anything - when the theme music for the segment begins.
"Who's Now is so artificial, from concept to execution, that watching it is like chewing Styrofoam." - Newsweek

A term in sports lingo that has gotten completely out of control. Originally coined by Dennis Eckersley in 1993 to describe a home run of such power that you don't even turn around to look ... you just walk off the mound.
The corny fools at ESPN - and their brain dead followers - now use the term to decribe virtually any play that ends the game; walk-off hit, balk, double, single, etc.
"Game-ending" and "Game-winning" have surrendered.

If we use the term "Walk-Off Home Run" why not ... "The Mets lost in the bottom of the 10th on a walk-off groundout."
