As Howard Cosell reported when George Halas died, “It was inevitable.” It had to come to this: ESPN is now officially satire-proof. Comedic farce can’t come close.
And more changes are coming from The Worldwide Leader.
Veteran anchor Bob Ley — real first name Robert, last name pronounced Lee — no longer will be confused with Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Henceforth, Ley will be known as Odell Beckham III.
n who was removed from calling a Virginia football game lest his name spark another race-based riot near the school’s Charlottesville, Va., campus, has been given five name-change options by ESPN.
He must choose among: 1) Ulysses S. Grant, 2) Walt Bellamy, 3) Spike Lee, 4) Dow Jones and 5) Mao Tse-tung.
Speaking of Asians in America, Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University, was, among other things, the money and motivation behind the building of the Western half of America’s Transcontinental Railroad, completed in 1869. Much of the dirtiest work was given to underpaid and overworked Chinese laborers.

” Obama’s great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall...owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man. He also found out that Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.”
I like Mushnick and I agree with him most of the time.
My cousin was one of Odell Beckham’s teachers.
I think he spends too much time pontificating about nonsense in sports that most sports fans don’t care about.
I’d be interested to get your cousin’s take on OBJ. I think the guy’s a flake, but he’s an extraordinary player who has the potential to be the best wide receiver of all time.
I mentioned this absurdity to my wife and she was so dumbfounded, she couldn’t speak. And believe me, she is more aware than many on this board and willing to state her opinion any time. I looked at her shocked face and laughed and turn the TV on to Big Bang Theory reruns. Had to deflate that coming storm. Ha.

Now that's laugh-out-loud funny, I don't care who you are ...
I do love how Sage Steele came out saying espn should stick to sports...
Howard Cosell? The guy who shouted> “Look at that monkey run!” on Monday Night Football?
He lacks discipline, hopefully his mind will grow up and catch up w/ his body.
Always struck me as someone who just likes to complain about things.
I don’t think this is all just hyper foolishness on ESPN’s part. I think this is the Left signalling that it is time to use ALL possible connections to the designated evil past to attack individuals and institutions and force absolute uniformity in all respects. I am considering changing my name legally to Beauregard Jackson Lee.
If you do, your initials could be BJ Lee.
I’m just saying, that’s all...
I remember Sage Steele from before she joined ESPN, and on this, she’s 100 percent right.
