Frankly, I don’t give a shit what Lebron does in LA. You’d be surprised how many people think Jordan was a good dude that didn’t cheat on his wife or have a gambling problem.

and it’ll take a lot for me to like ESPN or James. Until then, plain and simple, fuck ESPN and LeDouche James.

I used to love ESPN. Now, I can barely stand to turn it on. It’s mostly ignorance loud mouths who’ll say anything to get a rise or retired professional athletes that can barely string three logical concepts together to form a coherent paragraph.

…no one has better cred in the business, and his resume (original producer of Wide World of Sports, several Olympics, etc.) speaks for itself. He’s truly a HoF broadcaster and doesn’t need ESPN’s dough. I can’t think of a better person to be the Ombudsman for ESPN.

As I predicted several months ago, he’d be commenting on the pulling of the story.

What did we learn from the story? LeBron likes pussy, he’s got a lot of money, and he likes to party in Vegas. Not exactly what I’d call “newsworthy”.

I get Ohlmeyer’s argument, and from a journalistic ethics POV, he’s correct. I don’t agree that the pulling of the story and the backlash that ensued was penance for airing The Decision (where he’s already weighed in as being in poor judgment).

The final thing…you may disagree with Ohlmeyer, but his intellectual honesty speaks for itself.
