The Lineup: Back to School

To celebrate the return of the school year, ESPN commentators share their favorite back-to-school photos and a piece of advice that they would give their former selves. Steve Levy - SportsCenter anchor "Lose the turtleneck and jacket and prepare for years of braces (never got braces, never had a single cavity - a cool Levy fun fact)." Jamie Little - ESPN motorsports and X Games reporter "Don't worry, your career will be full of things you love like motorcycles, race cars and being outside. You won't be stuck inside that classroom forever!" Darren Haynes - SportsCenter anchor "If you're gonna wear a bow tie, please make sure you don't wear it upside down!" Doug Kezirian - SportsCenter anchor "Continue only reading the [newspaper's] sports section." Lisa Kerney - SportsCenter anchor "Smile! The sweater isn't that bad." Jade McCarthy - SportsCenter anchor "Way to rock the pink corduroy overalls. Who knew I had style. Thanks Mom!" Pablo Viruega - ESPN Deportes Analyst Listen, my son, the instruction of thy father, And do not forsake your mother; Never deviate kindness and truth; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart; So shalt thou find favor and good In the eyes of God and men. Oye, hijo mÃo, la instrucciÃ³n de tu padre, Y no desprecies la direcciÃ³n de tu madre; Nunca se aparten de ti la misericordia y la verdad; Ãtalas a tu cuello, EscrÃbelas en la tabla de tu corazÃ³n; Y hallarÃ¡s gracia y buena opiniÃ³n Ante los ojos de Dios y de los hombres. - Proverbs 1:8, 3:3-4 Randy Scott - SportsCenter anchor "Stay away from sledding on Suicide Hill in the winter, learn more from things that go wrong than things that go right, be yourself instead of what you think others want you to be, and ditch the jorts, man." Brock Huard - College Football analyst "Lose those glasses, show your teeth and stop looking like such a wuss! Put your shoulders back, chin up and tackle fourth grade like a champ!" Dan Quinn, Andy Hall, Rachel Siegal and Sofia Rocher contributed to this post.
