There is so much to complain about with ESPN that I thought I would make a discussion of their problems a regular rant.
Today, while discussing BYU's code of honor Colin Cowherd admitted that he had no idea what the word "chaste" meant. Seriously. While his ignorance is bad enough, the reality is that hosts like Cowherd regularly comment on issues that go beyond the field. BYU hoopster Brandon Davies was suspended for breaking the very stringent code the school holds every student, athlete or non-athlete, to in keeping with the tenets of the religion of the founders and operators of that school. To be so ignorant of a common word such as chaste when discussing the situation--and I do not know what rule Davies broke--is the equivalent of not knowing what the word "margin" means when discussing business. We would not tolerate that with the thousands of people discussing business issues on television, why in the sports world?
