    I like to suspend employees for something that happened before they worked for me. That's what I like to do.

    I don't get it, that's exactly what ESPN just did? Mods?

    The Lebatard one is pretty hilarious. They talked about doing something to screw with Cleveland for two weeks. Even said it would be something similar to planes flying around with banners. Days before the billboards went up he was on air saying he's signed contracts and it was going to happen. On ESPN airwaves. Then it happens and suspension.

    I am for ESPN and against domestic violence so I am alright with this.

    I've always enjoyed your posts, but you have got to be fucking kidding me. It happened over 20 years ago. Who is for domestic violence? Most civilized people aren't. Suspending him is stupid and ESPN is shit. I don't get what is hard about this. I guess fuck Kellerman for being honest. Let's get our pitch forks out for anyone who did something stupid 20 years ago. What the fuck ever happened to forgiving someone instead of punishing them for mistakes 20 years later? It's insane.

    It's so stupid that we justify what crimes are worse than others. If he talked about getting a DUI 20 years ago, nobody would flinch. He could have killed someone though! If he talked about knocking a small drunk guy unconscious, that would be fine, but an open handed slap to a woman, oh no the terror! Break a guy's nose, giving him pain and medical bills, fine. Slap a girl after she slapped you, get punished 20 years later.

    Lastly, ESPN is a fucking joke. They are huge hypocrites. This is the same network that has Charlie Sheen, a noted drug addict and woman beater, host Baseball Tonight and they frequently feature Lil Wayne, another drug addict who frequently raps about "bitches" who suck his dick, glamorizes dealing drugs and murder, etc.
    I actually really dislike ESPN but had to have the juxtaposition. The point is if they have a personality who admits on air to doing something atrocious, they have a right to take a stand and say this is reprehensible, we don't support it, and just because it happened a long time ago we aren't going to just ignore it. If they have an employee who comes out and says they currently abuse their partner I would expect them to fire the person. Sure, they are huge hypocrites, but I'd rather they get something right once in a while instead of nothing right.
    Atrocious? He slapped her, drunk, after she did the same. It's not okay, but it's not the same as hitting her with an iron unprovoked. To play CYA and throw your employees under the bus for a misdemeanor 20 years ago is gutless. I like your post Mad Son (and being an internet snob, I don't like a ton of posters) but I have to disagree.

    Who gives a shit? If you care about personnel management at ESPN you have already lost.

    To the folks downvoting my posts and saying they generally like my posts: that's ok. We don't all always have to agree on everything. I am not hurt and we can still be friends.
