I get it. ESPN does censor just about everyone and begin owned by Disney may not help either.

That said, Carter's comments are pretty bad. I guess it doesn't matter, since I don't watch ESPN that much anymore (as the subject heading suggests)

How many inflammatory things does Curt "I owe the state of RI 75 Million dollars" Schilling get to say before they take him off the air for good?

I wasn't paying taxes in this state when all that shit went down, so it doesn't affect me too much. But, man, that's still sapping the state government.

I've heard 3 different anchors/analysts on ESPN reference the upcoming Brady decision and how we will have to wait and see whether or not the suspension will be reduced or overturned. You think they would do their research enough to know that the judge can't reduce Brady's suspension. He can only uphold it or overturn it.

Seeing ESPN so butthurt over Brady is great. They are like rats fleeing a sinking ship and putting the blame on Goodell.

Yeah, I like that their legal analyst, Roger Cossack, is running around today defending his comments that there was no way Brady would win this thing. He is still basically saying the judge was wrong.

Having a federal-court judge vacate an arbitration decision really is extremely, extremely rare. I'm not defending Roger Cossack, but what he predicted was pretty much in line with 99% of the legal precedent in the 2nd Circuit. I'll give him a pass on this one.

Damn. That's scary. No accountability whatsoever with them. I wish one of the "smaller" big sports news outlets like CBS or FOX would run with this story.
