I suppose this is only tangentially related to sports, but has anyone else watched the 30 for 30 short "Judging Jewell" on Grantland? It is excellent, particularly so given its relatively short length.

We'd talked about this story in some of my media classes in college and I'm surprised it hasn't managed to be more of a cautionary tale for journalist and media groups in this day and age.

Why is the blue devil wearing a sweatband over top of its mask? Why do its horns have kinks and point downward? Why does the mask apparently have holes for the ears to go through? Is the orangeman part of the same genus as Pacman? Is the Syracuse cap really just a blank blue cap? Why is the orangeman wearing gloves?!?

What's great is that someone at ESPN looked at that, and the only issue was to make sure there's a prominent ESPN watermark on the lower left corner.

Repeating myself from the Sports Broadcasting thread: Grantland's latest 30 for 30 short is excellent and worth your time. It does have a journalism tie: a damning screw-up by the Atlanta Journal.

Apparently access is easier than loving ever these days. That 9/11 truther who stole the microphone from Malcolm Smith last night? Got there simply by telling security he was running late and flashed credentials from a concert he covered a while back.

Funnily enough, the mere fact he got in did more to discredit post-9/11 security measures than anything he could've said into that microphone. He's still a lunatic, though. midwat fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Feb 4, 2014 |

ESPN News Services posted:"All we did was play situational football," Sherman told the website in an interview held during one of the Seahawks' postgame victory parties. "We knew what route concepts they liked on different downs, so we jumped all the routes. Then we figured out the hand signals for a few of the route audibles in the first half." Real question: why is the bolded sentence even in the article? I read it and still have no idea what point it is trying to convey. Is it to imply Sherman was drunk and therefore his quotes should be taken with a grain of salt? And if so, why not just state that directly? So weird.

I almost feel like the worst thing about it in this case is how disrespectful it is to the athletes. He's telling these guys to celebrate their victories, but apparently he can't even be arsed to pen new jokes about them. It's blatantly obvious that to him they're just faceless archetypes.

At this point, as long as they continue to employ that sack of poo poo free of punishment, I can't really blame him for shortcutting. If they're ready and willing to pay you a truckload of money to quarter-rear end your entire job, good for you.

So Jonah Keri wrote this in his Grantland article last week:quote:The notion of A-Rod playing for the Yankees or anyone else again might be merely hypothetical at this point, anyway. Baseball colluded against Bonds after the home run king hit .276/.480/.565 in 126 games for the Giants in 2007. From a PR standpoint, A-Rod has been 10,000 times the pain in the rear end Bonds was, and he’s nowhere near the hitter Bonds was when teams slammed the door in the San Francisco slugger’s face. Most of SAS agrees with him, but is it a common thing for writers (at least, writers in the know) to call out the owners like that about Barry Bonds without even couching it?

Baseball has far more sycophants among the media than even football but there are also quite a few individuals willing to call out the owners for their shenanigans* *since 2006 or so
