ESPN announcer fired for comments made to Jeannine Edwards
http://www.cnn.com/2011/SPORT/01/04/...ex.html?hpt=T2
The Neanderthals in the comments section are fine individuals. I truly hope they're not procreating. |

Franklin always struck me as a huge douche so I'm not surprised, although Edwards kinda seems like she'd be annoying off-camera.

FRANKLIN got fired? Good! Being feloniously stupid is a good reason for getting fired. ESPN finally got something right.

Franklin is the man, Edwards is the woman. Next time read the article instead of automatically going in feigned outrage mode, you disingenuous tool.

So Franklin called Jeannine Edwards an as.shole and got canned? What would have happened if he called Matt Millen an as.shole, aside from getting many compliments from people in Detroit?

Calm down Grouchphartpants or you'll break something really important. I'm not quite sure what's exactly wrong with you, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

No, he called her sweetcakes/sweet baby first and when she said she didn't appreciate that, he called her an ass hole. And this isn't his first offense.

I just found his other "incident" on Wikipedia. I think the whole thing got blown out of proportion because someone else reported it and it leaked before ESPN could do anything. It obviously didn't make Jeannine Edwards particularly uncomfortable because she sat in the production meeting with him that began right after he called her an ass hole. |

ESPN sucks
Will these two get fired? Isn't this far worse than what Franklin did? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXWi8I2KhiU |

As for Millen, people should call him an ass hole every day for the rest of his life, and then every other day after he dies. |

Either way he is a potential liability to ESPN.
