    Oh boy, a lot of people missing teeth in Kentucky. Hope she can hold it together.

    She's been very visible since she went back to work after the suspension, or whatever they called it. She's not been hiding anywhere

    I must not be watching ESPN nearly as much as I used to.

    will never understand why ESPN kept her. What she said and how she said it would lead any normal observer to conclude she's an awful person. It's like the worst kind of thing a high school girl might say. But she's almost 30. Sideline reporters like her are a dime a dozen. People are too busy cutting the cord at ESPN to even give a shit about her.

    Probably because she had great parades.

    McHenry really needed to say "no comment" on this. She is the worst of what the business is and damn lucky she didn't have to go to some regional 24 hour Time Warner cable channel.

    Just go about your job, ask your two questions at halftime and go about your merry way.

    I've mentioned before that I know Britt slightly and have had very few interactions with her (and they were always pleasant, never once saw arrogance in her). I also noted that she seems to be a very hard worker. Most of those I know who know her better than I do also speak highly of her, or at least did. They may still, but all my interaction was before this episode. I've not seen her since I moved.

    My complaint here is she apologizes with an asterisk. She says she shouldn't have said what she did but she also mentions the tape was edited and you couldn't hear what was said back. I get the sense there's a "yeah but I was baited into it" thing left hanging and that bothers me.

    I was wrong. Pure and simple. That's all that needs to be said.

    I loved the part where she decided the restaurant was a bunch of jerks because they didn't let her park there after she left the restaurant. Like, who gives a fuck about the people who had dinner reservations after we left, amirite?
