Policing the Media

LA Times Goes Too Far, Pokes Fun at Paul Pierce for Being Stabbed

There’s nothing wrong with hating a team or a team’s players.  Laker fans have grown to despise Celtic fans over the years and vice-versa.  That will happen when two teams face each other in the NBA Finals 12 times in 40 years.  For the …

AP Members Are a Joke for Revoting Cushing Defensive Rookie of the Year

We have a category here at LBS called “Policing the Media” which is invoked when we’re getting on the media for being out of line. This is the ultimate case where the media must be called out for its pathetic actions. On Friday, it …

Bill James Does Not Make Projections in the Bill James Handbook

The name Bill James should be familiar to all baseball fans who read Moneyball and to fans who follow the Red Sox. As a pioneer of several new-era statistics, James used to publish his Baseball Abstract from ’77-’88 on a yearly basis. His …

ESPN Wrong for Tony Kornheiser’s Hannah Storm-Related Suspension

Watching Pardon the Interruption on Monday, I was surprised that Tony Kornheiser was off while Dan LeBatard was in. There were no sports-related activities on Sunday that would have precluded Tony from being on the show so I was could not figure out …

Brad Childress Lies to Chris Myers About Game Plan, No Surprise

I’ve often talked about how useless sideline reporters are and how much I can’t stand in-game interviews. Sideline reporters bring nothing to the table and are nothing more than eye candy, except in the rarest of circumstances. In-game …

ESPN Buries Mike Greenberg Martin Luther Coon Slipup Story, Apology

ESPN First Take host Dana Jacobson was suspended a week for saying “F*** Notre Dame, F*** touchdown Jesus,” at a roast. ESPN writer Jemele Hill was suspended for comparing the Celtics to Adolf Hitler. Mike and Mike host and big-time ESPN …

Brian Billick Takes Subtle Shot at Kyle Boller When Discussing Tebow in the NFL

Count me as someone highly surprised to see Brian Billick as the color commentator for the Sugar Bowl on FOX alongside Thom Brennaman. I was equally surprised to hear Jon Gruden serving as the radio analyst alongside Mike Tirico for the Rose Bowl on …

Bengals Prove Steeler Homer Terry Bradshaw Wrong with Win in Pittsburgh

If you were watching the NFL pregame show on FOX Sunday morning, you heard FOX analyst and former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw make a stern prediction he’d live to regret. In no uncertain terms he said the Bengals would not beat the …

Gus Johnson on Chris Johnson: He Has ‘Getting Away from the Cops Speed’

Gus Johnson is known for some of his outstanding calls on CBS broadcasts, particularly his enthusiastic work during March Madness. In fact, it was only back in week one that he absolutely nailed the call of the Broncos last second miracle play by …

FOX’s TV Camera Extends Onto Field, Causes Controversy on A-Rod Home Run

Whether it’s been BCS games or baseball playoffs, we’ve often complained about FOX TV overproducing sporting events. Not to say that I or many others don’t have short attention spans, but it seems to me that along with showing you …

LCS Start Times Hurt Dodger, Angel Fans

The way MLB schedules playoff game start times often doesn’t make much sense. For instance, when the Rockies/Phillies game was postponed on Saturday because of poor weather conditions in Denver you figure they would bump the game to a time when …

Lopez Tonight Is the New Frank TV

The MLB playoffs are here which means for baseball fans, the TV will be set to TBS for the duration of October. Anyone who watched the Twins/Tigers 163rd game on Tuesday and/or the lineup of games on Wednesday got a taste of what the next month will …

Yet Another Reason Never to Televise Little Leaguers

Seems like we come to this point every single year. Why on Earth is the Little League World Series shown on TV? Someone please explain to me why any of us (outside of friends, classmates, and family) should actually care about a bunch of 11 and …

Joe Morgan Lies Again When Clarifying Previous Lie on Sunday Night Baseball

Something must be done to stop this ghastly man! Seriously, for anyone who said it was “mean-spirited” to create a website called Fire Joe Morgan, you’ve never watched Sunday Night Baseball otherwise you would understand why it was …

Joe Morgan Tells Yet Another Lie on Sunday Night Baseball

This is almost becoming a habit for Joe Morgan and no longer a surprise. Two years ago, Morgan lied during a Sunday night game, saying he contributed to the Phillies blowing a big lead down the stretch of the ’64 season as a rookie with …

The Lakers Will Win, for Kobe’s Scowl Will Not Let Them Down

One of the big themes the media has latched onto for the postseason this year is Kobe Bryant’s attitude. Moreover, they concentrate on Kobe’s demeanor and emotion on the court. I really think it’s impossible to be a sports fan and …
