On the first item: Is there an alternative? When I was younger I preferred CNN Sports Tonight w/ Fred Hickman and Vince Cellini (probably slaughtered that). When Fox attempted their illfated sports network (I don't get it on Dish....is it still even on air?)...I didn't event attempt to watch their nightly wrap.
On the second item: I agree and it's self evident. And ESPN, like any "news" outlet (Fox, MSNBC and CNN, albeit to a lesser degree in my opinion) don't even bother to issue retractions or apologies, they just pretend like they never said it, never had anything to do with it. Hell, even when something happens with a former employee who is still prominent in sports they'll tell the story and then list every employer he/she ever had...except ESPN. Case in point is Mike Milbury, they never mentioned that he worked at ESPN when the "news" broke about his alleged assault on a 12-year-old kid but mentioned every other employer he had going back to the 80's. It was back in the mid 90s when he worked there but, again, they mentioned every other position on his resume going back further than that.
