                  SPORT SUPPLY GROUP, INC. WILL FILE FORM 15
      **Move to Voluntarily Deregister Anticipated to Reduce Expenses**

      DALLAS (BUSINESS WIRE) February 27, 2004 - Sport Supply Group, Inc.
 (OTCBB and Pink Sheets:  SSPY), today announced that it intends to
 voluntarily terminate the registration of its securities by filing
 a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2004.
 SSG's requirement to file certain periodic reports with the SEC will be
 suspended immediately upon such filing; however, registration of SSG's
 securities may not terminate for up to 90 days after the filing of the
 Form 15.

      SSG expects to realize significant cost savings as a result of being
 relieved of the burdensome accounting, legal and administrative costs
 associated with several SEC reporting requirements and recently enacted
 corporate governance requirements, which are material components of SSG's
 operating costs.  The projected cost savings will help to bring SSG's
 expenses more in line with its revenues.

      "Current market conditions do not warrant the significant annual costs
 associated with being a reporting company," said Geoffrey P. Jurick, SSG's
 Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.  "Our Board of Directors
 believes it is prudent to use these funds to enhance SSG's financial
 performance.  As a non-registered company, Sport Supply Group will have
 more flexibility in pursuing strategic opportunities, continuing to invest
 in its core business and in recruiting and retaining our people.  This
 move will also enable management to focus more time on operating SSG's
 business."

      Upon the filing of the Form 15, SSG's securities will no longer be
 eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board; however, SSG anticipates,
 but cannot guarantee, that its common shares will continue to be quoted on
 the Pink Sheets' quotation system under the symbol SSPY.  The Pink Sheets
 is a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes market maker
 quotes in real time, primarily through its website at www.pinksheets.com.

      Sport Supply Group is a leading manufacturer and distributor
 of sporting goods equipment and physical education products to the
 institutional and youth sports market place.  Athletes, coaches and
 instructors in schools, colleges, universities, governmental agencies,
 camps and youth organizations across the country use SSG's products.
 Emerson Radio Corp. (AMEX-MSN) owns approximately 53% of SSG's issued and
 outstanding capital stock.  For more information about Sport Supply Group,
