Lou Holtz is leaving ESPN

 

Good. The hardest voice to listen to in all of sports media, imo.

Eh, I detest Vitale's persona, but the sound of Holtz's voice is the worst. He's the exemplar of the saying "he/she talks like they have a mouthful of [expletive]".

 

It is not a voice meant for public speaking or broadcast of any sort.

He's trying to keep his dentures in.

A video has popped up on LiveLeak of a woman who appears to be ESPN reporter Britt McHenry dressing down a towing company employee, making fun of the woman’s features, and using the “do you know who I am?” argument.

 

It’s unclear what exactly made the woman who looks like McHenry so mad, but she is furious. At one point, she looks directly at the security camera. Some select quotes:

 

“I’m in the news sweetheart, I will [expletive] sue this place.”

 

“So I could be a college dropout and do the same thing?”

 

“I’m on television and you’re in a [expletive] trailer, honey.”

 

“Lose some weight, baby girl.”

 

Update (2:14 p.m.): On April 6, McHenry tweeted about getting her car towed in Arlington, Va. while she was eating dinner. The original tweet’s deleted, but an ARLnow article preserved it.

 

Update (3:43 p.m.): When asked for comment, a spokesperson for ESPN said, “We are aware of a recent exchange between Britt McHenry and a towing company employee. We are now reviewing the matter with her.”

 

Update (4:24 p.m.): McHenry has apologized:

 

In an intense and stressful moment, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things. As frustrated as I was, I should always choose to be respectful and take the high road. I am so sorry for my actions and will learn from this mistake.

 

Update (4:56 p.m.): The parking lot attendant was actually an employee at a towing company. The headline and text has been corrected to reflect this fact.

 

Update (5:09 p.m.): ESPN has suspended McHenry for one week.

 

 

sounds like a lovely person.

Yes. His repeated insistence upon it as well.

Sorry, it was on but work took that moment to distract me. I didn't catch much.

Mentioned much of this in the Russell thread but...

 

Talked about how Bryant's callup had to come a little earlier than they hoped because of the injuries.

 

Talked about how the circumstances (and thinness at 2B) have dictated them moving Russell to give themselves some "optionality." Said Starlin is playing very well and is their SS.

I never watch studio shows at this point, except maybe some hockey intermission reports...so I remain unaffected.
