You aren't, but "integrity" and "sports journalism" are an increasingly rare pairing.


I noticed today at lunch that ESPN now features Chris "Mad Dog" Russo on the Stephen A. Smith show.  Saw him just screaming at the camera and waving his hands around like a rough ridin' lunatic...and this is on top of an already totally unhinged production.  Who can actually stand to watch that idiocy any more?

Clearly.  ESPN wouldn't put this crap on TV if it wasn't wildly popular.  I just happen to think it's horribly idiotic.  My question was rhetorical.

Oh wow I saw that clip a while back and didn't really think anything of it.

That is actually hilarious that she just made up stupid coachspeak instead of just, like, not cutting to her just to make up a story.

I mean it was a bullshit question, but he didn't have to make a big thing about it.

I felt like both of their actions were appropriate.

I was confused by the clip I watched. It looked like they had already asked all their questions and then after a pause some guy was like "annnnyone else"? And then she started that question and Tomlin just left.

If that's the case, it's not nearly as dramatic as some have reported. He just knew he wasn't going to have any kind of answer (or already answered the question) and instead of saying as much he peaced out.

Her tweeting about it is what got her here much more so than the event.
