THE APPOINTMENT OF GEOFFREY P. JURICK AS PRESIDENT

Dallas, Texas Friday, October 3, 2003 - Sport Supply Group, Inc. ("SSG") (OTCBB: SSPY), a leading sporting goods distributor, today announced the appointment of Geoffrey P. Jurick as President, replacing John Walker who resigned as President and Director. Mr. Jurick has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Sport Supply Group, Inc. since 1997. He also serves as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Emerson Radio Corp. (AMEX: MSN). Emerson owns 54% of Sport Supply Group, Inc. Due to Emerson Radio’s majority ownership of Sport Supply Group, Inc., the Board of Directors decided it was appropriate to have Mr. Jurick serve as President of both companies.

"John Walker worked with me at Emerson Radio and later at Sport Supply Group, Inc. for nearly 12 years," said Mr. Jurick. "John played a key role in the reorganization of Emerson Radio in the mid 1990’s and was the driving force behind restructuring the cost base of Sport Supply Group, Inc. and the implementation of our SAP/Internet IT platform that is a vital part of our business today. John has decided to pursue new interests and we all wish him the best in the future. We will continue our strategies to improve profitability and shareholder value at SSG."
