A push into social gaming, an ESPN Deportes show modeled after SportsNation and new iPhone apps — those were some key news nuggets from the ESPN upfront presentation in New York, Tuesday morning.

The event once again took place at Nokia Theater in Times Square, but instead of it being hosted by the SportsCenter team as in recent years, SportsNation anchors Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle served as hosts. Their ESPN2 show had been unveiled at the sports powerhouse’s upfront last year.
