Hey…at least they didn’t mention that she only got her job with the Disney Empire because she was Diane Sawyer’s step-daughter-in-law or whatever it is.

Really, Breesus?
January 28th, 2013 at 8:30 AM
Just ’cause we’re old don’t mean we’re dead.
That is so heartbreaking. Nobody can endure this type of grief alone.

Roundup: Jennifer Lawrence Had a Wardrobe Malfunction at the SAG Awards & How ESPN Will Cover Super Bowl Week
That’s some faulty-ass advertising. Not blaming you, TBL, everybody was saying this on Twitter. I suppose we file this under the “Letter v. Intent” argument. But let us ALL agree that Jennifer Lawrence is a smokeshow…
January 28th, 2013 at 8:32 AM
terribly sad story about an MLB catcher losing his 5-month old daughter
Reminded me of an old story ESPN did on Joe Jurevius (sp) and his wife losing their son just after he was born. I teared up watching it the first time. Had my mom and sister watch it the next morning on the re-run. They sobbed.
January 28th, 2013 at 8:32 AM

Really weird weather here. Last week was bitter cold with highs in the single digits. Yesterday is rained, snowed and ice rained. This morning it’s 40 degrees and will be all day. Tomorrow it’s going up to the 50s or maybe 60.

January 28th, 2013 at 8:55 AM
i guess i missed the point where the article shows how it ruined the guys life, after repeating that several times on the page…?
January 28th, 2013 at 8:57 AM
Start with the college football writers. It will give them more time to write for their Domer Nation blog.

January 28th, 2013 at 9:08 AM
I disagree with this sentiment. I don’t get that from Mandel or Staples. Now, if you want to talk about Staples’ love affair with all things Florida and Urban Meyer, I can get behind that argument.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Lots of dumb people in this video…but that is what normally makes a good video.

Same here. Ice storm this morning. Thunderstorms and high near 70 for Wednesday. Snow showers and highs in the 20s for Friday.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:10 AM
i cannot figure out how the daughter of Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols was able to claw her way up the ladder. Just a great show of stick-to-it-iveness.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:11 AM
Meinerz, who coordinated the investigation at the nightclub, said one band member died after escaping because he returned inside the burning building to save his accordion.
yeah, it was stupid, but it was also probably worth tens of thousands of dollars and how he made his livelihood.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:11 AM
Bunch of athletes wished her luck on twitter. If you spend your career lobbing softball questions, you endear yourself to lot of athletes. Who knew?

The Rachel Nichols part of this article wasn’t nearly as awesome as Mushnick killing your boy Mike Francesser:

This will probably make you want to buy Bill Wash’s football book.
Not at all. It was definitely an interesting article, but I have no need for a book like that.

I always wonder how many of the women in the sports media world succumb to the players wanting to bang the hell out of them.

Will there be a post about Tiger walking away from the field over the weekend?
January 28th, 2013 at 9:25 AM
According to that story, she went around hugging and kissing players during pre-game warm-up in November. ESPN said she was just wishing them a happy thanksgiving. Come on now. Nothing wrong with having a cordial relationship with people you are covering, but dial it back a little.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:27 AM
This is a great look into why NEB hasn’t gotten back to the top-10 under Pelini. The turnover stats are amazing.

Calm down about Tiger though (three posts on Friday)

She married the son of Sawyer/Nichols

Ensemble Cast, Comedy: Modern Family
I’ve seen this show a few times with the in-laws. It is a sit-com version of Crash. Just horrible cliches and nothing original.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Is that thing about Nichols just bitching like about Andrews or something?
Nichols is awful but I don’t think she falls into the category of strictly having her job because of her looks and probably being a high class escort.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:38 AM
it’s been uneven the past couple seasons, but when it all comes together the show has the best comedy writing on network TV.

My comment was more of a friendly ribbing to the EIC, as one of his comments was about Tiger blowing the lead over the weekend like he did so many times* last year.
*he really didnt, though
January 28th, 2013 at 9:40 AM
Probably close to the ratio of non-ugly women who travel a lot and work with lots of dudes. When they are in the sack, they are prone to screaming “I AM BUSINESS PRO”. It’s jarring.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:40 AM
She married Diane Sawyer’s son. While her education leads me to believe she’s very bright, hitching your journalism wagon to Sawyer was probably a fantastic business decision.

And that might be my problem. I watch damn near zero network TV outside of news.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:41 AM
It’s funny. People who hate on it need to realize that all sitcoms are like this. Does it always hit? No. But when it does, it’s hilarious. It’s a fun 30 minutes of entertainment.

When are they finishing the final round?
While it seems odd b/c Tiger has this largely wrapped up, they complete the rounds to get 4 full rounds in for the field – for final standings, money list, etc.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:43 AM
No. But when it does, it’s hilarious. It’s a fun 30 minutes of entertainment.
its very jiggles-worth.

My college roommate’s wife travels a lot and says the men she travels with or sees at functions are so sleazy. They’ll take their wedding bands off and totally hit on her knowing she’s married with a kid and knowing that she knows they’re married. Lots of people with a thirst for strange I suppose.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:46 AM
I think Veep is the funniest show I’ve seen in a while, but I think people need to differentiate between network and pay-channel stuff as HBO, Showtime et. al., can do so much more than a show on NBC or ABC can do.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:52 AM
I don’t have a problem with the comedies on the network channels. They are a couple that are pretty fun and harmless. It’s the drama shows that are pretty much the same shit.
- “Well I have an idea for a show, it’s about a cop……”
- “Sounds great! Here’s 24 episodes.”
January 28th, 2013 at 9:52 AM
fwiw on Nichols – never met her, never spoken to her in person or on the phone … she started out at the Washington Post. good writer. was there in the late 90s, i believe.

Seeing Maebe as a crack addict prostitute in Cedar Rapids was jarring.

I believe Tiger goes off at 2:10 eastern.

Let’s just say that Maebe hasn’t aged well. And fully agree about George Michael. By far the weakest link of that show.

January 28th, 2013 at 10:24 AM
I was on a flight from Europe back to the States a few years back that had the worst turbulence I’ve ever dealt with. It was 5 minutes worth (seriously) of pretty crazy stuff. Turbulence usually doesn’t bother me much, but even I was a bit freaked out by it.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:25 AM
The worst kind of person. The same dude who insists on blessing the food before eating 4 hours after finger banging his assistant.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:26 AM
On bigger planes does turbulence ever cause crashes? I thought those were mainly due to electrical and mechanical problems.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:26 AM
funny and true. Turbulence on those commuter propeller planes are the worst.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:27 AM
Visited a strip club this weekend. Came home and was reading some of the yelp reviews just for curiosity. There was a guy who gave the establishment a high mark. Said he always goes there after church on sunday.

no doubt. imo though, most men would cheat if they were guaranteed it wouldn;t be discovered/no future problems. women cheat when they aren;t happy. men cheat when they are unhappy also, but happily married men cheat just because of curiosity and opportunity
all imo
January 28th, 2013 at 10:30 AM

mole, no one would ever get on a plane if just turbulence caused crashes. no matter how bumpy it gets, a plane won;t or very rarely crash just because of bumpy air. error/mechanical/birds in engines
doesn;t make me feel any better though

/Mullet’d
January 28th, 2013 at 10:35 AM
I would agree with this. It gets repeated often, but men are only as faithful as their options. It;s why I never criticize an athlete/celeb/musician/etc for cheating as I don’t know what it’s like to have gorgeous women throw themselves at me literally around every corner. The only time I get pissed a someone for doing that is if they’ve portrayed themselves to be some high and mighty person.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:36 AM
It was harsh. I knew their TO numbers were bad, but I had no idea they were THAT bad. Just points to my thoughts on Pelini being correct. He either doesn’t know how to coach players to protect the ball (my theory) or he simply doesn’t care to.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:40 AM
She came to ESPN as Rachel Alexander, former writer with the Washington Post BEFORE she was married. But hey, the Diane Sawyer sounds better.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:40 AM
It’s worse for gay men. Males have higher sex drives, imo. More cheating goes on.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:42 AM
It’s always NYC. That’s why I get to see all of these Green Bay Packers in commercials on TV.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:42 AM
As I said, I’m sure she’s very bright. But having Sawyer in her corner can’t hurt her.
/but sure, skimp on reading comprehension
January 28th, 2013 at 10:42 AM
And she isn’t Diane Sawyer’s kid. Her husband is Diane Sawyer’s stepson. No dog in this fight, just wikipedia-ed it.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:44 AM
Makes sense. Men are biologically wired to spread their seed (literally). I’m very happily married, but I’m not sure it’s in line with human nature to be monogamous for 60 years. I think people do it all of the time, but it’s out of love and respect for their partner winning the battle against biology.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:46 AM
Most highly successful people that are competent at their jobs are highly successful because of some mix of talent, work ethic, and great luck/connections. If you only have two of those things, you aren’t likely to be highly successful, IMO.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:47 AM
Yeah. I’ve been bitching about the TOs for the last few years. Not that it takes any sort of expert to see that’s the problem. That article did a good job putting it in perspective though. It’s when compared to other teams that the numbers are startling.
As for BP not being able to wanting to coach ball protection. If he doesn’t care then he’s a fucking idiot because it’s costing him a chance at championships. If he’s not able to do it, he better find someone who is. Coaches from the NFL come to college camps for a few days here and there. Get in the best damn guy who know about ball protection. Someone like the opposite of Lovie Smith.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:53 AM
How do you even know that Diane Sawyer is in her corner? Or that Sawyer has enough juice to affect hiring at ESPN? Throwing in the cowardly “may” qualifier doesn’t negate your attempt at being dismissive of how Alexander/Nichols obtained her job.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:54 AM
I guess successful needs to be defined. Is having a high-paying job successful? Or do you need to actually do well in that role?
January 28th, 2013 at 10:55 AM
Two tattoos, one read “No Apologies”
The other said “Love is cursed by monogamy”
January 28th, 2013 at 10:56 AM
First part: Because she married her husband’s son.
Second part: Because she’s Diane Sawyer.
I’m not saying she got Nichols a job. I’m saying having Diane Sawyer as a reference, mentor, sounding board, etc… can’t hurt.
January 28th, 2013 at 10:56 AM
If he’s not able to do it, he better find someone who is.
don’t HC’s have like assistants and stuff?
January 28th, 2013 at 11:03 AM
Tried to get into Arrested Development recently..After 4 episodes I just wasn’t feeling it. I may try a couple more to see if it grows on me.
January 28th, 2013 at 11:06 AM
Key West to Miami. Plane like a yo-yo. I give props to the pilot for his ability to evade the thunderheads that were popping up all around us that day…
January 28th, 2013 at 11:06 AM
I would say it obviously varies depending on what you want from life. In this discussion about Nichols, I would describe her as highly successful based on what her career goals appear to be. I guess I never thought her to be very terrible or anything. I found her voice annoying, but I’m under the impression she usually does a great job.
January 28th, 2013 at 11:06 AM
Yeah, I think I heard that somewhere. Seriously though, not sure how much of coaching ball security falls on the HC.
January 28th, 2013 at 11:07 AM
Oh I think she is very successful. I was referring more to generalities. I know plenty of people who are where they are in life due to the genetic lottery more than anything else.
January 28th, 2013 at 11:11 AM
I was just commenting that I think she’s got luck on her side, but it’s also likely that she works her ass off.
Truth about the genetic lottery winners, although to be fair, most of us are to some extent. See: Africa.
January 28th, 2013 at 11:13 AM
i am living testament that the old saw ‘it’s not what you know it’s who you know’ is not reliable. i am/was not such a loser and unskilled that the interviews (not jobs) i didn;t get despite knowing lots of veteran and highly-placed people on friendly terms would factor in.
sometimes, places just aren’t hiring or don’t want to hire folks who are cheaper (younger, no family)
January 28th, 2013 at 11:21 AM
Are you sure it’s not Wisconsin costing him a chance at championships?
January 28th, 2013 at 11:22 AM
First part would take knowing the relationship not only between Alexander and Sawyer, but Sawyer and her stepson. Second part would only be an assumption that Diane Sawyer’s name carries as much weight in Bristol as it assumedely does in NYC. Third part (my part) would be knowing that she was a Washington Post reporter, and also at ESPN well before she was married. I’d venture to say that The sports editor at the Post, Solomon, and even Kornheiser’s and Wilbon’s recommendations would carry much more weight than Sawyer’s. We’re talking about a multi billion dollar corporation with ESPN, not some little wing nut company that happened to be purchased by Disney.
