Re: [TV orNotTV] Bristology: Stephen A needed to regret
Sorry I'm late on this. Beadle, I think, got a free pass on her Twitter posts for two reasons: (a) they were four very powerful tweets, and (b) had ESPN suspended her and not SAS, it would've made the NFL look like the most sensitive group on the planet. Here, in a nutshell, is ESPN at this moment: it's the only thing that's making Disney profitable. So anything that can be remotely considered profitable is safe. First Take is a money-making show. As long as it keeps making money, they're not touching anyone related to it. KO didn't touch it mostly because he has much safer targets to go after (and would very clearly not be protected had he taken a shot at them, given his past history). Deadspin wrote an outstanding piece a year-and-a-half ago about FT and how it single-handedly changed ESPN in a very bad way. It's worth reading because it explains a lot about their behavior regarding SAS. http://deadspin.com/5929361/how-espn-ditched-journalism-and-followed-skip-bayless-to-the-bottom-a-tim-tebow-story On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 7:17 PM, 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV tvornottv@googlegroups.com wrote: Had Smith followed even a little bit of what Beadle has been saying on the Tweets about this topic before today, maybe he wouldn't have been so surprised.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Bristology: Stephen A needed to regret
Bristol HQ has given Screamin' A. a week off but it's not a suspension even though it clearly is. http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/espn-gives-stephen-a-smith-a-week-off.html A good point Awful Announcing makes that I had forgotten about Sirius/XM's Mad Dog Radio channel run by Chris Russo has just hired SAS away from ESPN Radio to host a show on their channel. Given how Sirius/XM was quick to fire Anthony Cumia after his idiotic racial Twitter outburst and how much of a ticking time bomb he was would Sirius/XM which is bleeding money as it is, be willing to risk yet another headache?
