ESPN leveraging Corso's F-bomb

The awesomeness of Lee Corso's "F it" moment yesterday was pretty clearly unscripted. But I notice ESPN doesn't seem to be making any effort to bring down pirated videos of the moment, which surely they can do under copyright laws.

No doubt the moment will inject a little more life into next week's broadcast, and the good folks at the Worldwide Leader realize that the more people who hear about Corso's outburst, the better.

In a related note: In my eyes, Corso just justified the last two years of his career, during which he's made impressive strides back from a stroke, but hasn't been his old self. I declare him interesting again.

Urban Meyer and Erin Andrews: Is that allowed?

Within the media explosion that followed Urban Meyer's resignation I was struck by comments ESPN's Erin Andrews apparently made to a sports columnist in Pennsylvania:

During her "peephole incident" last year in which a man drilled out a lock in her hotel room door and inserted a tiny camera to photograph her, Andrews confided in the Meyer family and leaned on them to get through the ordeal. ...

"He can deal with haters," (Andrews said). "There were times last year when that whole thing happened to me when I called him up crying. And he was the one giving me advice about people like that. He did the same thing for Tim [Tebow]. He gave me some quotes to remember about how to handle that sort of thing. So, I really don't think it's that. The only people in his life that he wanted to please that I know of are Shelly and his three kids.

“But at this point, I haven't talked to Coach or Shelly and I really don't know anything. This came as a complete surprise to me and people I know in the inner circle are shocked."

Not that I look to Andrews for unbiased coverage of the University of Florida, but are you really allowed to do that as an ESPN college football reporter? To call a coach at a major college program, cry, and lean on him for support and advice?

What sort of a relationship is that for a reporter to have with a source?

Jesse Palmer is out of control

Joe: Look at his hair. I think it's out of control.

Me: It's definitely out of control.
