I don’t want to give too much credit where it isn’t due, but at one point, ESPN was not a complete laughing stock. Now it’s a strange breed of testosterone and stupidity.
Notable Dismissals:
Harold Reynolds for sexual harassment.
Steve Phillips for having an affair with a co-worker and later entered the same rehab clinic as Tiger Woods.
Sean Salisbury never had enough time to come up with anything insightful to say about football, but did have enough time to take a picture of ding-dong with his phone and show it off at the water cooler.
They hire ‘em smart and classy.
Tony Kornheiser was recently suspended for inappropriately commenting on a co-worker’s outfit. Her outfit! You don’t cover the Oscars and you’re not on E!
This morning they did a terrific story on National Pancake Day asking a player from the Vikings about his favorite kind of pancake. Somehow, I ended up changing the channel.
(DIY network was showing you how to hammer a nail right through your thumb)
They should change their slogan to:
ESPN
We can’t cover sports.
We can’t cover our own tracks.
And we can’t cover our dongs.
How much of my own vomit do I have to swallow before you tell me the results of your poll on which country’s Olympic outfits are the cutest?
I wish I could just get the answer from Kornheiser.
