Panic! Horror! Not really. ESPN completely misleads on another Rodriguez topic

Headline: Rodriguez linked with banned booster

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4439517

Content: Not in any way that the headline would make you think. Apparently Rodriguez has been sued here in South Carolina because of a land deal gone bad. Unfortunately his partner in the deal was a Clemson booster who has run afoul of the NCAA. Does ESPN report it that way? No, of course not. Absurdity.

Sorry if this had been posted previously, but I didn't see it.

I don't think he was referring to his post, but to the ESPN article title. I could be wrong, though.

No worries here. I actually gave you a +1 on another thread mainly because of your username. I have a good friend named Matt who is indeed a psycho.

Here's another just to show you some goodwill.

I just think since we're being attacked by the Newspaper That Must Not Be Named, ESPN, and... the world, we should support each other. [That sounded a little fruity. Sorry about that. I'm drinking some good beer tonight!]

I know this might be tough to understand, but:

(2) Where I said "content:", I described the article.
(3) My headline was making fun of ESPN.

I used to be fairly indifferent toward ESPN, but my hatred grows with each passing day. Basically, my hatred is growing for most big media outlets these days (not just because of this story). It's not about news as much as it's about money. Shameful, really.

Dave Birkett, who has been reasonable so far, ran this "story" yesterday at A2.com. It would have been really nice to come home from work one day this week without something negative about RR splashed all over their website.

I asked them why they remove posts for being OT and but this. I also asked what a Clemson booster has to do with UM or their football team.

I wish the public flogging of RR would stop.
