    Pardon me for interrupting, but why is Erin Andrews being discussed on the journalism board?

    Carry on.

    Jim Nantz and CBS are the the gold standard for conflict of interest.

    1. Commercials with Peyton Manning
    2. Endorses golf equipment that sponsor players in tournament he covers.
    3. CBS has a restaurant at Gillete Stadium.

    It's funny when a professor lectures the public about ethics.

    It's gotten infinitely worse, with all the Sony jizz.

    Another example where I'll go out of my way not to use any product hustled by the smarmy Bush-family lover. And the Peyton connection's no coincidence, considering how well-aligned those two are, politically.

    College GameDay crew in bed with Nike. ESPN brass didn't know about it.

    Nice job at the end, quoting George Solomon...

    Yes. It's probably too late to put that horse back in the barn, though.

    Can't remember which Olympics it was, but NBC issued "team wear" with the suppliers' logo prominently displayed to the on-air talent, including some NBC News reporters ... until NBC News screamed and had them removed from their reporters' garb.
