Now ESPN is Trying to Save Face

It's bad enough that ESPN is totally irresponsible, but now it's parent company is trying to help the child save face, and it says something about the way ABC/Disney do business. At halftime of the ACC Championship game, ABC's talking idiots in the studio said, I kid you not, "Well it will be interesting to see what happens with Les Miles and Michigan after the LSU game is over".

What? Miles said in his news conference, which anyone could see, he is staying at LSU. But, ESPN/ABC just won't admit they screwed up big time. At the SEC Championship game Miles told a CBS reporter..."I WILL be at LSU next year". End of story. Period.

But, what do the ESPN talking heads say at halftime? They question where he is going. Can you believe that? The ESPN/ABC producers are idiots.

Bottom line is ESPN screwed up badly. They screwed up about as bad as Dan Rather did on the George Bush story, which ultimatly led to Rather's retirment. But, what makes it worse is ABC/ESPN just won't say hey folks we screwed up. Somewhere, there is an executive telling the talking heads how to spin it. And that is just pathetic.
