From what I've heard he basically spent the first hour ripping everyone in the area media and accused his editor of screwing her way into her position. I hope Fox fires his rear end for being completely unprofessional about everything.

hcreight posted:Today Deadspin is headlining with an unnecessary hit piece about Erin Andrews's apparently crumbling career prospects, complete with quotes from anonymous TV executives and anecdotes about how they don't let her on Good Morning America anymore because she mispronounced Buffalo Bills and made a couple other flubs. Glad to see their misogynistic obsession with every blonde female ESPN employee didn't leave with Daulerio. That could also be an ABC exec trying to gain leverage in negotiating her contract.

Jeff Pearlman wrote some terrible article slamming 5k's for whatever reason. then got ripped for it and deleted it. Forunately everyone finds him to be an rear end in a top hat http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2012/06/this-week-in-f-k-you-jeff-pearlman-10k-purist.html , http://www.stridenation.com/2012/6/25/3116507/jeff-pearlman-hates-5k-races .quote:It took place at the Meadowlands. Everyone ran three miles around the facility, then entered the stadium and finished by crossing the goal line. It was cool and neat and swell, and we all enjoyed the experience (save for the fact that it felt like 95 degrees, and we were trudging through a parking lot). Not only did he have a terrible opinion but he's so spineless that he can't take the backlash.

Spoeank posted:Does podcast stuff count here? Because Baseball Today with Eric Karabell and (usually) Keith Law is over. It was really good, and they were really great at addressing advanced stats and they had a lot of insight. So it's going to be Buster Olney and probably Tim Kurjikan rambling for about 30 minutes now? You'd think ESPN of all media companies would be able to line up some interesting former players or coaches to do some podcasts for them. Hell, if Herm Edwards did their NFL podcast I'd listen everyday. ElwoodCuse posted:Buster got off light Hahaha. Why the hell was he criticizing him for playing two sports in a day to begin with? Isn't that the kind of stuff analysts love to go on about?

Congrats ESPN, you just drove up page hits to Grantland and probably put a few more eyeballs on First Take for a few days. Plus it's probably best that Simmons wasn't allowed to have a public meltdown about the Pats Free Agency.

the talent deficit posted:grantland.com maybe just killed someone How does exposing a con artist make Grantland responsible? Everything that Dr. V said to him was classic con artist manipulative bullshit and when she couldn't talk her way out of it she chose to kill herself rather than face potential jail time for the fraud.

Crion posted:Speaking as a journalist: hahahaha gently caress you Just read the paragraph about the claims Dr. V made. Designed bluetooth, was a Vanderbilt, friend of the Hiltons, and would immediately start bullying people for disagreeing with her. That's the kind of sociopath stuff con artists pull and none of it's true. quote:Kinney had heard his own share of incredible claims. Dr. V had told him that she was a $1,000-an-hour consultant. She said she was one of the original designers of Bluetooth technology. She even suggested that her status as a Vanderbilt provided access to some exclusive company who could help Yar’s business. Kinney said Dr. V told him she was good friends with the Hilton family, and that the relationship would pay off in the form of putters sold at their hotels. Kinney also recalled a trip he had taken to Arizona where, in Dr. V’s house, she had shown him a computer that she said mirrored the one in Phoenix’s airport traffic control tower.

It wouldn't have been an issue if there weren't outrageous claims of having degrees from Penn and MIT, along with work on bluetooth and the stealth bomber. Changing a persons gender and name doesn't change everything else about their past. If "Dr" V. hadn't been making any of those claims none of that would be relevant. Edit: I am focused mostly on the con artist part because I've seen how they work and how they destroy peoples lives. Con artists are worthless, lazy, and manipulative assholes that would tell you anything you wanted to hear to get your $5 out of your pocket. I don't think transgendered people that are trying to live their lives should be outed, but in this case it's unavoidable and entirely "Dr" V's fault.

MourningView posted:You can mention the other stuff without outing the person, and not wanting to out yourself as transgendered is not a con. I disagree with the first part, but I agree with the second. This is a con-artist who happens to be transgendered. In this case you have to expose everything so there isn't any room to explain stuff away. The more that's exposed the better. And she would've ended up outing herself if she thought it'd benefit her anyways. I know it sounds callous, but this is a person that compulsively uses people as a means to an end.

MourningView posted:st1cky did you give your bank account number to a Nigerian prince y/n Yes, and I'm still waiting on the check  . I actually know someone that scammed his own in-laws, children, and complete strangers by stealing their identity. He did some absolutely insane stuff to control and manipulate people, and a few of his "stories" involved made up stuff involving me, hence why I'm not exactly sympathetic towards con artists. He finally got caught but he still denies he's responsible. The reporter should have immediately gone to the police or feds to let them know that she was lying about having worked on a top secret project and defrauding investors in the company. That might have saved her from taking her own life.
