This is SportsCenter?

I just finished reading ESPN: The Uncensored History by Michael Freeman last night. It is an interesting glimpse behind the scenes of the cultural phenomenon that is ESPN. Basically, it comes down to ESPN is the most misogynistic and denigrating place where a woman could possibly want to work. And based on the incident that receives the most coverage in the book, the biggest perpetrator of note of this philosophy would be Mike Tirico, the new lead announcer on ESPN's Monday Night Football. The book was published in 2000, and he was suspended by the network for 3 months back in 1992. From all accounts, it looks like he learned his lesson, but it made me wonder about the quality of the people who comprise ESPN on the whole. I guess it's like enjoying a hot dog: tasty, but I don't want to know how it's made. This book is pretty fascinating though, and it pretty much confirms the fact that Keith Olberman is a self-centered blowhard. I'd give it a B.
