And does not need this kinda bush league race calling. Talk about the race, the Breeders Cup, anything but this kinda childish crap that is lower then low.
I understand what they are charged with but it had no place in the broadcast today, none. Especially with the way it was said.

ESPN should be banned. How dare they make fun of swindling whores?

Please, ESPN made it clear the 2 scoundrels in jail are 20% owners of Curlin. I did not see a thing wrong with it, imo.

and it's been mentioned elsewhere that the reason curlin has no stud deal, unlike the other 'big' colts, is because of those two yahoos.
so they mentioned where two of his owners are--so what? espn shouldn't be embarrassed about it, the two crooks should. it's a shame that curlin is with the group he's with, he's a sweet horse who doesn't get much press compared to the others because of his crappy connections.

If ESPN had any decency, they would have set up a live 2-way feed so the owners could watch and then be in the "virtual winners circle" in the visitors room. It would have been very classy for Randy Moss to interview the managing owners of Curlin via CELL phone.

It's ESPN... for christ sake!

Would you expect anything different with them?

Two days of Breeder's Cup coverage with them ought be a treat!

On the bright side, the longer he goes with no stud deal, the longer he'll run, right?

I dont either, awwww they got their feelings hurt? poor them, I just cant seem to pull up any real sympanthy for them, I think I will save that for the people they screwed over for millions.

If you want to complain about something you should complain about them making light of a situation where people were defrauded out of millions of dollars. I'm sorry for the victims....not the perpetrators of the crime.

Me neither. In fact I doubt their feelings were hurt considering they probably had none in the first place. Not to mention they couldn't see the feed from ESPN. After all....it IS jail and SOME "privledges" should be held back anyway.

I heard they are being punished severely today.....they were forced to watch the Mets game.

OOOOOOOOOO

as a huge Met fan, I'm glad I chose to avoid the TV's that had it on today.

If they want to make light of something bad about Curlin, how about the fact that he's trained by a guy who has had 25 drug suspensions???

fpsoxfan · #14 09-30-2007, 05:13 PM

I wonder if they found out their horse won. "Hey Red I understand you are a man who knows how to get things. Can you get me a Youbet account in cell block 14?"
