It must be hard getting it right 100% of the time especially when you’ve got so much live programming but I almost screamed this morning when ESPN tried to distance itself from glorifying hard football hits that lead to concussions. While rolling on highlights of Montana’s thrilling victory over Appalachian State, ESPN’s Bob Ley had [...]
