Still Complaining About ESPN...

Re: Still Complaining About ESPN...

Now Dan LeBatard is the latest idiot magpie from ESPN to get suspended. Apparently he did something stupid (big surprise there) with a billboard for Lebron. Add him to the list of idiots that need to be thrown off of a bridge.

He should have been thrown off a bridge years ago.

ESPN3 is pretty good. Watching something other than scrubs football and Red Sox baseball saves an evening.

The money these guys make at ESPN must be awesome. Otherwise why work there?

It also provides the biggest platform with the most exposure.

Add Max Kellerman to the list of casualties. He was suspended for saying that he responded to his significant other slapping him by hitting her.

I didn't realize that Kellerman was still with ESPN... I haven't seen him since the original days of Around the Horn :eek:

At some point it goes too far.

But then again, maybe all of these suspensions will create a toxic workplace and get some of the talent to jump ship.

I actually like LeBatard as far as his show goes. Don't watch it too often but it's decent as background if I flip it on. From what I understand the billboard thing was actually an in-show joke with he and his dad. I guess ESPN didn't think he was serious about it.

Not a fan of LeBatard....but I thought the billboard thing was pretty funny.

As for Kellerman...I don't think I needed another reason to dislike him, but I see he gave me one anyway.

I've always liked LeBatard although I completely missed this "controversy" as it happened in real time. Always enjoyed his appearances on PTI.

This is a funny explanation penned by Dan...

Good article. The thing that stuck out to me most is you can get six billboards in Akron and a plane for the price of a fullpage newspaper ad in Cleveland. Seriously?

He was doing boxing and I saw him on a talk show when I was flipping the dial. I think he returned to ESPN just before Beadle did.
 
Re: Still Complaining About ESPN...

M & M managed to shoehorn Lebron into a conversation with the Browns' head coach asking where he'd play him if he was on the roster - tight end or defensive end? I guess the timer went off?

I realize it's not their fault and a producer feeds them that question.


If I'm Manziel, I'm looking into a cease and desist so that ESPN can't Tebow me and make the majority of the country hate me - more than they already do.

You've got to be kidding me.

Some intern has been sacked - or sent to the NHL desk.
