		<description>Fox News as neutral.....ha...yeah ok. I&#039;ve been a journalist for 4 years and trust, Fox News is as far from neutral as you can get. From the bias in their panels, to the glittering generalities (sp) they use, the whole network is VERY one sided. They may throw something in there from time to time to make it seem different. But I&#039;ve NEVER found any professor or professional co worker that will call Fox news neutral. 

I can give you numerous examples of the shotty journalism work that they do if you would like. It SUCKS that they are so highly rated with viewers, but hey, what are ya gonna do?

And Tejada&#039;s response was funny...I&#039;ll agree to that much. I got a good laugh out of it....</description>

		<description>Fox News has some of the best journalism practices for any news network on tv, that is probably why they are the most neutral news reporting channel on US tv.

That is a nice compliment for ESPN. 

On topic, I agree the Tejada story is not important, but it is entertaining, just because of how he acts in the interview. &quot;I just play baseball mane, I just play baseball, I&#039;m gone&quot; LOL.</description>

		<description>I honestly think that Tejada junk is bogus news. That whole segment is something straight out of the Fox News sorry journalism handbook. 

If it was something serious, like catching a big name/big time player on using steriods with hardcore evidence, like a signed reciept or something; then yeah, spring it on him. Still not great journalism, but it has a good purposed. &quot;Busting&quot; him for lying on his age for two years....please...that&#039;s bogus...

Like Steve Phillips said, that crap is a joke. When he realized one of his players was 4 years older, they gave him 4 birthday cakes at once and got on with life, making a big joke out of it. This Tejada story is SOOOOO minor it should not even be getting any play time. There is SO much more than can be talked about and more pertinent to sports.</description>

		<description>I saw a portion of that Migeul Teheda segment. That cat is wild. 2 years older than what he is, Tejada not even being his last name. Great tv.</description>

		<description>Did anyone see the preview of the E60 piece that Michael Smith did on Darren McFadden. It explains a lot of the so called &quot;character issues&quot; he may or may not have. A good look at the football player as a man.</description>

		<description>TBR

Riley gets a pass because he was actually been successful as a Coach/GM, thats why he can do what he does.

Andre Woodson ran a great deal, lets not deny it. He just ran backwards. He is mobile but he needs to be coached on how to use that mobility productively.

Dixon was good in a spread offense and in college, we are talking about getting drafted in the NFL. Dixon was never and is never going to be a great NFL QB because he was not trained to be one. Ainge was, he has great accuracy, throwing motion, and arm strength. He was coached by the QB coach who has had a Super Bowl MVP QB in the last 2 out of 3 Super Bowls. Ainge is being slept on, whoever picks him up is going to get a great QB for the future.</description>

		<description>DMac - Riley has 5 rings -- what does that have to do with leaving your team hanging?

What Andre Woodson are you watching, where did he run to to gain minus 490 yards for his career.

As far as your comment on Tennessee&#039;s Erick Ainge being the best QB in the draft, I disagree. Before his injury Oregon&#039;s Dennis Dixon was a first-round pick and had the Heisman locked up.</description>

		<description>The Devil sure is a busy man.

This is the &#039;Makes you go hmmm&#039; article because of the obviousness of the answers to the questions raised.  The one thing that sticks in my craw is that there&#039;s clearly collusion going on in the case of Barry Bonds but the media is doing everything it can to bury that story by saying teams don&#039;t want the added distraction of bringing the so-called circus atmosphere that comes with Bonds.  This was clearly brought home to me when a graphic of the homerun leaders was flashed and it showed that he was only six homers ahead of Aaron because seeing Bonds play last season was not like watching a player struggle to reach the record.  The man can still play at a high level and MLB is selling the fans a bill of goods by whiteballing this guy.</description>

		<description>Nah you&#039;re right Miranda. I thought all of the charges got dropped but my mistake. 

He was found guilty of trespassing and felony burglary. The sexual assault charges were dropped due to &quot;lack of evidence.&quot; Thanks for that correction. But again I ask the question -- how many convicted criminals, on probation, are allowed to play college football, win all the damn awards he has won, be a Heisman candidate and now have a solid chance at making millions in the NFL? I&#039;m going to guess that the answer is VERY VERY VERY low....</description>

		<description>Davidmac..............man you got to be smoking crack or something.

Brotha Cevidence you got to be joking, so being a Kappa is now like being a thug.

Man these uncle toms and Good old boys won&#039;t stop. Next they will say a frat brand is a gang sign.

So Colt Brennan did what. Thanks brotha I&#039;m about to spread the word. Like I said the NFL ain&#039;t nothing but the good ole boy league.

Hey you guys remember about 3 years ago there was a white player on the Utah State mens basketball team that did like 5 years for rape. Then when he was released he inrolled at UT and got  bsketball scholarship. He then played like 3 years there. The media didn&#039;t say a thing. Let me see if I can find the link.</description>

		<description>Man -- something you should have added to your piece. 

Everytime sports &quot;experts&quot; talk about Darren McFadden, someone brings up his &quot;character issues&quot; Now getting in trouble at 4 different clubs, yes, that can be a problem in the long run because it is obvious that things may start where he goes out. Wheter (sp) it is him starting the trouble or not...that is still to be seen. But the emphasis on &quot;character issues&quot; when it comes to star black players, now that is where I have a problem. 

I even heard one writer, who is a BLACK MAN, claim that McFadden has character issues because he is a member of a historically african american fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, for those who don&#039;t know. And THAT reasoning is damn pathetic and disgusting that he had the gall to say it on national TV. Its bad that no one ever picked up on it. 

But here is the kicker. What is worse? McFadden and his club/fraternity issues? Or a QB who was accused of a sexual assualt, spent 7 days in jail, and had to transffer schools? If you don&#039;t know...I&#039;m talkin bout Hawaii&#039;s Colt Brennan. When I first heard about that during the Hesiman special I was disgusted. Flat out. 

Colt was hailed out there. I work with a guy from Hawaii and the man is damn near a god. And I dont care what you may say, but getting accused/charged and spending time in jail for sexual assualt is a LOT worse then getting into fights at clubs or FIGHTING DOGS!!!!! But is this &quot;character issue&quot; brought up by the media......no....

Now before you say that Colt isn&#039;t  a major draft pick. To hell with the draft, he shouldnt have been allowed to play football anymore period. The charges were eventually dropped, but how many players do you hear of being allowed to play after getting arrested, let alone spending A WEEK in jail????? I think NONE!!!!

To me...this is a major issue that I wish someone would have touched on, and should be mentioned each and every time someone say&#039;s Colt&#039;s name...</description>
