Another irascible ESPN employee worth tens of millions recently decided to bash the country that made him rich despite never working a real job in his life. d A couple days ago, Jalen Rose recorded an incoherent video of himself regurgitating clichés someone told him to have about Mount Rushmore. The rant about native Americans, Columbus, and stolen land came from nowhere and made little sense. Unlike how ESPN treated its few right, leaning, employees, they surely will not reprimand Rose and may even applaud the idiocy.
It’s also not the former pro basketball player’s first effort into hard-left idiocy on air. This is what ESPN became years ago, and it’s only gotten worse. When I was younger, I looked forward to Chris Berman, Tom Jackson, and others presenting highlight reels following the day’s NFL games. This was before you could look up scores on the internet, so having a full roundup was useful. Their commentary was entertaining and included Berman’s hilarious player nicknames.

The highlight show was must-see TV for fantasy footballers (like me). Now thankfully there are other options available.
“regurgitating clichés someone told him to have about Mount Rushmore.”
Once statues of Lee, Jackson, etc. were pulled down, it was predicted that Mt. Rushmore would be blown up.
“Berman’s hilarious nicknames?”
Chris “Anything for a Buckskin” Berman? That Berman?
(Coined after Bud Bowl I, referencing local leather shop Berman Buckskin.)
Answer is nope.....Michigan caught cheating by paying him, and the rest of the so-called Fab Five.
They officially have not been to the Final Four.
