ESPN has it's own internal critic...

shaneo69 · 10-13-2005, 04:09 PM

This guy apparently writes a monthly article for ESPN.com critiquing the ESPN enterprise. Kind of nice to see an objective voice there, but I doubt if anyone at the Worldwide Leader of Sports gives a rat's ass what he says. KCChiefs.com needs a guy like this...

Skimmed first 3 paragraphs, and proved to myself that ESPN needs no internal critic.

Will save it before I need a Zanax.

"Was John Saunders' pointed criticism of Notre Dame dismissing Tyrone Willingham done in the role of host of "Sports Reporters" or as a reporter covering the story?"

This reminds me of the fact I have yet to see the John Saunders' of the world put their race card aside for a moment and publicly eat their crow and apologize to Notre Dame....I'm not holding my breath waiting on this to happen that is for certain.

Quote: "ESPN was embarrassed on at least three occasions in the past month by commentators who need to show more responsibility and to give more thought to their words before sharing them with viewers."

Amazingly, he did not mention Sterling Sharpe's commentary on SNF as one of the three embarrassing occasions.
