ESPN: Running A Tighter Ship Than The Third Reich

Tony Kornheiser was given a two week suspension from PTI for comments he made about the outfits Hannah Storm wears on Sportscenter. The linked Deadspin post also infers that part of his punishment might be because he took a swipe at Berman (possibly one of the most awful things in all of sports). He made these comments not on any ESPN airwaves, but his local Washington D.C. talk show. Another odd and bizzare move by ESPN to silence it's media personalities when they have any sort of thought or opinion about something and is ultimately harmless.

This Is What Happens In Cities Where They Are Subject To JaMarcus Russell

Oakland FTL

The South. Racist.

Not much posting lately, I know. But even with the Winter Olympics, this period is basically the dead period of sports every year.

But here's a story about as surprising as a WNBA coming out of the closet: there are racists in the south. DeMarcus Cousins has apparently been getting racist calls and text messages from fans of rival SEC schools. But hey, college basketball is so pure!!! And not as gangsta!!! More white guys shooting 3's!!!

Jim Gray Post Game

Jim Gray Thinks New Orleans Will Be Alright After All

Some post Super Bowl thoughts:

1) The Tebow ad didn't end up converting everyone to Jesus apparently.

2) The commercials sucked. The advertising industry is full of morons. Only the retarded would laugh out loud at those commercials.

3) Manning's legacy isn't damaged. Yes, he hasn't played as well as he should in the playoffs. But at the same time he still has a ring and how two Super Bowl appearances.

4) Jim Gray had a postgame wrap up at the end of the Westwood One radio coverage of the game. I can't find the audio clip anywhere, I'll try and find it but to recap he basically said, "It's as if all is forgotten from Katrina because the Saints won the Super Bowl." He also called Brees the savior of New Orleans like the CBS pregame show did and also mentioned the "Breesus" nickname and called it "Drew Orleans". Pete Rose should've punched this guy when he had the chance.

Why Can't American Sports Have Something Like This?

For those that aren't familiar with the EPL, a couple weeks ago it was revealed that England captain John Terry, who is married, had an affair with the ex of his countryman and former club teammate Wayne Bridge. The English media is going nuts off this story, many are calling for Terry to resign as captain or be stripped of his captaincy. During their last game on Sunday, teammates Carlos Tevez, Nigel de Jong and Stephen Ireland at Bridge's club team Manchester City wore "Team Bridge" t-shirts in an attempt to bring out their inner teenage/high school drama. None of those guys happen to be English however, so they don't have to worry about potential ramifications on their international career.

In other soccer related stuff, I'll be doing a profile of all 32 World Cup teams over the span of the next few months.
