It trumps everything, including journalistic integrity, which, you and me could agree I'm sure, has long sice parted ways with ESPN.

Speaking of journalism, this was a real journalistic piece. You placed your quotes well, and the overall piece had a real professional sheen. Thought the length was well managed as well.

Thumbs up to you, thumbs down to ESPN, which will run like hell from any story that inteferes with their corporate interests. I rue the day ESPN merged with Disney. It was a sad one for journalism, really was.
