Henchman of Santa posted:It doesn't really take a stretch or "super PC climate" to see that it's a problem but I doubt he was thinking of that when he said it. Sounds like a regional folksy thing that he never thought about. Yeah it’s more of a “dude, not cool anymore” thing rather than something people should be legit mad about. Like someone calling something “gay” as a pejorative. You should definitely correct them that it’s no longer a thing to say, but painting them as a super homophobe is probably overboard.

I really don't think his intent was racial in anyway. I mean it's something you shouldn't be saying these days but an old guy growing up in the midwest has probably heard that phrase used a million times and got excited during the game and used it.

I feel like it's a bit of a stretch to flame someone for using a Foghorn Leghorn saying, but a dude commenting on NBA for a living should probably know better.

Yeah I mean, you’re in a job where the large majority of players are African American, maybe you should banish anything that could possibly be perceived as racist from your lexicon ASAP.

i've heard cotton-pickin' a bunch in Tennessee and it's normally from very old folks or middle aged dudes trying to be folksy but jeeze that's not a word announcers ought to be using. i feel like it's in the same category as gyp where people don't really think about it until it's pointed out to them. but oof that's a bad clip

https://deadspin.com/thunder-call-out-announcer-for-saying-russell-westbrook-1825225445 apparently the thunder realized it was bad quote:“We think obviously the use of that term was offensive and inappropriate, and I expressed that to Brian last night,” Mahoney said Thursday. “Brian assures me that it was not meant in any derogatory way, and he apologizes. But again, we feel strongly that it’s inappropriate and offensive.” sure am glad he's gonna have to apolo- quote:Mahoney said that they wouldn’t force him to apologize or address his comments on a future broadcast. “That’s really up to Brian,” he said. “Again, we’ve expressed to him strongly that it was offensive and inappropriate, and that’s all we can do for right now.” oh

Comcast is dropping BTN in every state that doesn't have a B1G school in it. This includes dropping New York and Washington DC. I'm guessing this is just them grandstanding to set up a new deal before football season. https://twitter.com/BFQuinn/status/984540460835274754?s=19

Speaking of Papi appreciation. Ken Tremendous wrote a piece about The Lebatard Show for Slate. As you might expect, it's good. Though there is one hell of a correction.quote:*Correction, April 13, 2018: This story originally misidentified the ocean that’s visible from the Clevelander Hotel. It’s the Atlantic, not the Pacific.

Vertical Lime posted:https://twitter.com/Variety/status/986347436460388352 This is a big deal because, UFC needs big money because the new owners are highly leveraged. There was talk that Fox could jump into bed with WWE and replace UFC with WWE (which, two years ago would be laughable but current UFC is such a loving mess right now). But because ESPN wants content for ESPN+, Fox is going to then be able to pay less, but UFC is still going to get all up, near the amount of money that they want.

See, that's the thing about ESPN's afternoon shows. Yeah they have a few hot takes here and there, but it's not like First Take or Undisputed. They still know how to have fun, even if it's lost a bit of luster over the years. Highly Questionable owns and you can't convince me otherwise.

I'm almost never home to watch midday ESPN but pretty much everyone in the extended LeBatard crew is really good and fun and they've increasingly started building it mostly around them. Even Around the Horn, which used to be the dirt worst, has its moment now because it works people like Pablo, Bo, and Mina into the rotation a lot. If they could just dump all the old newspaper hot take guys from when the show started it'd probably be genuinely good.
