Open Season on LeBatard

Dude, you can never rip someone for what they say on PTI or Around the Horn.

A friend of mine who has made a few guest appearances on ATH told me he got yelled at by the producer for not being controversial enough, forcing them to re-tape an entire segment one day.

Can we just start a sticky "Bash writer who appears on TV" thread?

Every time Whitlock, LeBatard and any other print guy appears somewhere on ESPN, someone starts a thread ripping them. Who gives a shit? I don't know Whitlock, LeBatard or most of the other nationally-known writers, nor do I really give a shit what they have to say during a 30-second bit on a particular subject.

All these threads do is make the rest of us look jealous or petty about the fact that we're not on there yelling our opinions to a national audience that enjoys Berman's "back, back, back."

Far, I agree that it gets out of hand sometimes, but I thought it warranted mentioning. You could always just move along.

It's difficult to ignore when it's on ESPN under the headline "Danica's tantrum." WTF? Like NASCAR drivers don't stomp and slap from time to time?

Not to mention the very thinly-veiled sexism of LeBatard's rant on the subject.
