One was sent upside down backward into a barbed wire fence doing about 30mph. Michael Smith of espn thought this was funny. Care to bet how many of espn's brass thought it was funny too?

With the exception of a few specialty shows (NASCAR Now being one), I get all of my sports news and highlights online so I can avoid the overblown, slanted, and goofy nonsense that SportsCenter churns out these days.KoHoSohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457687879505057220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-496247848498176242011-07-14T09:41:14.260-04:002011-07-14T09:41:14.260-04:00Good luck to her.

So...thanks. It's a good sendoff.<br /><br />ESPN's offerings if you *don't* watch stick and ball stuff - I know - *gasp!* - they remain an irrelevant network there.<br /><br />Their failing, IMO - is that while they might bring a few cameras to events, that's about it. Great for the things they focus on, be it NFL (everyone's howling about that, is it their offseason now?) or otherwise.<br /><br />They do just barely enough, as a whole, to roll in the bucks.<br /><br />I'm glad she bailed out of the losing end of things, but I think she'd do a lot better shopping around. ESPN isn't somewhere anyone wants to work if they got gooder options. :)<br /><br />Just my opinion, y'all - don't flame me too badly.Anon/Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-27075851984541880012011-07-14T05:50:36.523-04:002011-07-14T05:50:36.523-04:00I hope your right JD, but I do not think one perso...I hope your right JD, but I do not think one person, especially a female, will make any change in espn's bias.
