Deadspin reveals story of masturbating ESPN exec

    Talented as Josh Elliott?
    My big toe is as talented as Josh Elliott for Christ's sake. If he can do it, I'm sure former Florida Dazzler Erin Andrews could.
     
  2. I'm calling bullshit on this one. No way a guy in that position does something like that on an airplane. It just makes no sense whatsoever. If he wanted to make advances - if it was even something like that - I'm sure there were a million better opportunities. This sounds like a case of ESPN being an easy target because of all of its past issues. Bitter ex-employees do exist. And who better to dangle some BS in front of than Deadspin, which has an abundance of pitchforks at the ready anytime someone says those four letters.

    It's hard to picture any rational person doing that on an airplane, but it's probably happened a few times. Maybe this guy wasn't being rational.

    Assuming something can't be true because it's sounds dumb and dangerous is a losing bet.

    Story moves on. Clinkscales' alleged accuser has tires slashed.

    Agreed. The ESPN exec was making in the neighborhood of $400K total, with bonuses. Throw all that away by pulling your dick out in business class on an airplane while seated next to a coworker? Really a stretch. Other scenarios I could believe, but not that one.

    When does the healing begin for the town of Bristol?

    Yeah. Never in the history of the world has someone with a lot to lose done something really stupid.
