ESPN suspends reporter after ugly parking-lot rant

I would have love to be the parking lot attendant that day. I love infuriating stupid people ESPECIALLY when they are all worked up. It would be so fun to smugly look that BI itch in the face and say “Yes dear, whatever you say dear, you’re right dear, but you still don’t have a car do you?”

[wiggen]

have to wonder if she was always that way or did success turn her into such a miserable wench.

I may be a minority here. But I really don’t like how they have girl reporters on sports nowadays. Maybe I’m in a big minority. I enjoy girls as much as any man. But I feel like there’s a time and a place for everything, and football games and sports programs and girls together just don’t do it for me.

That's society nowadays..Pushing the envelope; gender, race, orientation mean more than qualifications. Saw it in 2008 with Obama, seeing it now with the media drooling about a woman president. It's all about making a splash by putting some of the most unlikely people in positions to cause a buzz. Are some immensely qualified?? yes..but IMO, most aren't.

This fool is real lucky “baby girl” didn’t ruin her TV career.

I’ll bet that towing company clerk has heard far worse that what this twat said. I’ll bet she wants to clock someone at least once a day.

I am in your camp. They are all eye candy.

Her facebook page yesterday was inundated with people spewing on her.

[boycott]

I wouldn’t want to be working with this obnoxious pig. She should be fired.

So why was the towing company employee a POS? Because she worked for the company? Because she needed a job? The POS here was the nasty, over-aged “mean girl” ESPN employee who couldn’t read the no parking sign. Another example of a person educated way beyond their intelligence. I wouldn’t hire that girl to clean up after my dogs. A person like that is poison in the workplace. If she treats an attendant like that, you can only imagine how she comes across with other ESPN employees that she feels are beneath her in looks and education. She’ll get hers someday, and it won’t be pretty.

“We got the bubble headed bleach blonde who comes on at 5...”

"...some slimebag employee..."

Really?

Do you know the "slimebag employee" in question?

I know the type of company she works for. She gets up every morning and looks in the mirror and participates in bilking people out of money. If she has to take some guff for that, I really don’t find myself getting misty about it.

I feel the same way about TSA agents.

Actually ESPN stands for “Entertainment and Sports Programming Network”

I would LOVE to see this chick replace for a week or two, the lady she was insulting.

[Kenny Bunk]

Dennis, have some pity.

If you had to spend your working hours with naked NFL players, felons with diamonds in their ears, dreadlocks, and covered with strange tattoos, perhaps you would better understand her having a short temper with a member of the non-media peasantry.

There is a great deal of talent required for her job. I personally could never discuss gay marriage with a naked NFL player of the opposite sex. I hope she will be reinstated soon!

I can imagine it now...Hillary: “Have her brought to my room NOW!!!”

[gogeo]

No. Why are cars impounded?

[gogeo]

I’m thinking ex-cheerleader.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Yes.

“No one likes to be towed, obviously. That doesn’t warrant a one-star rating. I paid the $135 fee with no arguments, but when I gave the woman behind the glass my credit card, she told me it didn’t work. I gave her another one and she told me the payment went through. I checked my credit card statements a week later to find that both cards had been charged $135. When I called Advanced Towing to clear up the error, the woman I spoke with got hostile almost immediately. She told me to email her my statements, which I told her I didn’t feel comfortable with. She said I could come in Monday morning in person then. I asked her if she could check her records, and she raised her voice and told me she wasn’t going to refund money based on my word. Again, I asked if she could check her records and again she accused me of trying to swindle them. I told her I would just dispute the charge on my credit card and she told me that was a felony but that was fine.”

Took 5 minutes to find an example. Anyone who has been in the business even for a short time, is well aware that towing companies like this place rate somewhere between pond scum and the slime that forms on the cat’s water bowl when it isn’t changed often enough.

The people who work there are complicit and if they are berated by television airheads bragging about their fancy degrees, I’m just fine with that.
