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.

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 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.
