ESPN's message was sent out loud and clear Thursday: Don't go at The King.

Le Bâtard.

It's the Frog version of "bastard." That little tent over the "a" is all that's left of the "s."

Very honorable European name. E.G., "My mother was a Bastard," would place you high up in English County families."
