we all are looking forward to putting this behind us

Of course ESPN Is! Those four words, “putting this behind us,” have to be the poorest choice of words in such cases. Lucky for them this came out this week rather than two weeks ago in dead time.

But, the whole, “Dealt with internally” is just ridiculous. The fact is, D&D is as bad for society as many of the actions of those who’ve been fired by ESPN. Equally as bad as Ron Franklin’s comments. But, ESPN is nothing if they are not PC – and anything remotely touching sexism, even a slip up, is one step next to genocide in ESPN culture (and that’s not a justification).

As to drinks, Bombay Sapphire London Club rocks the best for me (slight variation of basic Gin & Tonic – add mint & lime & a bit of simple syrup). But, always drink responsibly and never drink & drive.

same here, love some white wine.

I dont get how white wine can be girly. If you are at dinner and having chicken, fish etc… you are supposed to have red wine so the waiter doesn’t call you a fag? I’m not a huge fan of white wine myself, and rarely drink wine that isn’t with a meal, but I’ve never heard that it’s girly.

/had some iced white wine/fruit/liquor combo at a party a few weeks ago… was pretty awesome

This. Martinis are not girly and drinking one does not make a person effeminate. It is the classic cocktail of the 20th century.

Can’t remember the last time I saw an athlete drinking one in public Usually, it’s beer. Or shots

Like in a Miller Lite commercial from the late 70′s.

I’m also down with white wine esp. when it’s hot out or I’m having fish.

/team I don’t give a fuck

same here, love some white wine.

yes, i know liquor is in a martini.

athletes drinking martinis? really? they should be pounding beers or doing shots.

what’s next, white wine?

Sweet Jesus, is this a veiled gay joke or just a retarded stereotype?

Seriously everyone, a martini is made with gin and vermouth. Just make a note of it when it comes up again.

/pinkies out, errybody!

Can’t remember the last time I saw an athlete drinking one in public Usually, it’s beer. Or shots

Whenever I have personally been around professional athletes and/or see pictures of them at clubs, I think it is extremely rare to see them with a beer (or even rarer a shot). Usually they are either drinking champagne or cognac.

Vodka drinks, while delicious, are not martinis, even when served in a martini glass. Ketel One need not be mixed with olive juice.

so I guess we can talk about how awesome Johnny Majors was?

done.

/team I don’t give a fuck

we use to call this team the “/doesn’t give a shit” team or “/wanking motion” team.

we’ll go next July. we can talk about how much your employer and my wife’s future employer sucks at football.

Eh… I didn’t mean to give the impression I’m big into Vandy football… I hope they win, but am hardly a big fan. Pitt will always be my team, so I guess we can talk about how awesome Johnny Majors was?

what’s next, white wine?

I’m also down with white wine esp. when it’s hot out or I’m having fish.

/team I don’t give a fuck

No hard liquor? [Ed. Yes, I know what's in a martini. Can't remember the last time I saw an athlete drinking one in public Usually, it's beer. Or shots.] Disappointing.

by the way, your boy Sanchez was drinking a martini the night my wife and I saw him at Del Friscos.

I do this if it’s an inexpensive blend. It’s a great summer drink.
