Funny how he doesn't feel bad about pissing on wrestler Eddie Guerrero's grave less than 24 hours after Eddie died. I don't care if you like wrestling or not, that was a dick move.

Also, wasn't Ichiro still learning english during his first year? Doesn't he still speak through an interpreter now at press conferences now? How the gently caress was he supposed to impart wisdom or learn through a language he doesn't fully understand?

Maybe we'll get lucky and the modern day equivalent of Jim Everett trying to kick Jim Rome's rear end will happen on Cowherd's show. And this time the athlete in question will succeed.

I would also say that even during his trolliest times, Rome knew when he hosed up and acted accordingly. Cowherd is frequently defiant when people call him on his stupidity. As if it's some sort of badge of honor to make fun of somebody for dying.

The Prisoner posted:Cowherd never did apologize for what he said about Eddie Guerrero, right? He sorta did, but it was one one of those apologies where he mentioned he was being forced to do it, and that he thought it was ridiculous in the process. So it meant gently caress all.

Honestly, the only part about the coverage breakdown that bothers me is how little time Hockey gets but every sport above it is more popular in the US, so it's not even ESPN that's the problem.

About the only way he's getting off light is that he avoided a lifetime ban, which I think Selig would like to avoid doling out, especially considering how many people think Rose belongs in the HOF.

The Prisoner posted:We've been over this a bunch in various MLB threads but Declan is spot-on. There has been one unbreakable rule in baseball that's been consistently handled with zero tolerance and Rose broke it. You don't bet on baseball. Period. I understand that, but he didn't do it as a player, which is how he'd be inducted anyways. I realize the implication of him betting as a manager is that he could have done it as a player too, but they have no proof he did so. I say induct him as a player but make it clear he's still done with baseball.

MourningBoo posted:I was gonna get mad at him for saying Iowa's state dish was a corndog but upon review that actually sounds about right. He way underrated it though, corndogs are one of the most perfect foodstuffs ever created and frying ridiculous things that should not be fried is a wonderful and delicious tradition. It's a well known fact that most foodstuffs are improved by putting them on a stick.

FuzzySkinner posted:Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero 5m Tebow's faith was continually brought up because he supposedly was very expressive about it. Conversely, the only reason I know Jon Kitna is deep into Jesus is because he got fined for wearing a baseball hat that had a small cross on it during a post-game, which is against league rules, evidently.

MourningView posted:That happened with LeBron and his top secret Nike contract that doubled if he played in New York too. The problem I always had with this idea is that, yeah, in theory Lebron would get more media exposure if he played for NYK, but the guy's already one of the most famous athletes in the world, so it's unnecessary, really. Plus, if he couldn't win a title while there, I have to think a fair bit of the exposure would be of the bad kind. I mean, poo poo, he plays for Cleveland again and people are making note of his JOGGING HABITS.

I always remember him as a host of NBA Inside Stuff, a valuable tool in getting through Saturday morning for a young El Gallinero Gros, and it also helped me get into the NBA in general. Well, that and the bizarre physics of NBA Showdown '94.

Eh, Simmons always maintained even after going after Stern that the good Stern did far outweighed the bad. Plus he asked Stern to admit he rigged the draft, which Stern brushed off. Also, he admitted that Stern's decision making in the last few years made him lose some respect for him.

I wish we could find a way to protect these guys when it comes to life after the game. Football's catching up to pro wrestling with the number of relatively young guys who are either dead, crippled, or irrevocably screwed up. So sad.
