What is wrong with ESPN??

I'll post something later on that B.Mitch said on the radio this morning.

Let me assure you guys, the media coverage here locally has a strikingly different tone than the national media covering this story.

They are actually giving in depth interviews about Taylor. BMitch had some really good things to say, and actually called Wilbon out on the carpet.

I wanted to punch Skip Bayless in his arrogant, ignorant mouth this morning. He led off on 1st and 10 this morning talking about how he wasn't surprised about the incident and how troubled Sean was, blah blah blah. ESPN led the 6pm SportsCenter last night with a big segment about his gun incident, the spitting thing, and talking about all his problems before mentioning anything else. What a joke. I have such a love-hate relationship with that network. They have a lot of good programming, but they love to break people down. God forbid they lead with the tragedy of the whole situation. But no, lets rip his past rather than honor the man. Disgusting.

Skip Bayless earns his living by making one outrageous statement after another. His willingness to say on a daily basis things that fall just short of being either racist and/or over-the-top offensive is what has earned him a daily spot on a national broadcast. Hard to respect a guy whose most refined skill is pissing people off.

You still can be...sort of. Subscribe to Comcast Sports Net (CSN) if at all possible. I have been even more thankful to have this channel here in Atlanta as I've been able to watch most everything about Sean Taylor's life and his passing.

That's one of the things I really like about Brian Mitchell. He pulls no punches and tells it like it really is whether you like it or not. Look out Wilbon!
