Damn ESPN part 2
 
Must be a slow sports night, cause horse racing has made the front page of espn.com. My problem is that if Eight Bells didn't breakdown then Cedric Benson would probably be the headline story. Racing once again makes it for the wrong reason.

Randy Moss sounds off on the Eight Bells Tradgedy.

That is the gossip station,right?

Complete poor taste by all outlets of media to repeatedly show the images of the fatal breakdown...ESPN just fell a few notches in my eyes, and they were already near the bottom. Give me a few minutes in a room with the editors who choose to repeat the footage...

Could'nt believe it, but MSN's home page had a picture of her laying on the track as well.. Seems like it's going to be awhile before we can turn the T.V on or browse the internet without this in our face.. Over and over.. She is now the poster horse for improving future racing/horses. I guess we'd best get used to seeing it.

yeah this is getting out of hand, people who have no business commenting on horse racing are now putting in their 2 cents like they know what goes on. Granted, the breakdown happening on the sports greatest stage doesn't help but it isnt this crisis everyone is making out to be. Plus leave Saez out it for it being his fault, its totally insane

I can't believe they kept replaying the breakdown in slow-motion on ESPN yesterday. . . What Randy Moss said also was a big disappointment. . . He's usually our best spokesperson but I felt like he was throwing horse racing under the bus a little. . .

You aren't being forced to watch it. Unless you're one of the 10 people in the U.S. who doesn't have a remote control, could you please stop with the e-mails that do nothing more than try and censor the press and take away information from the rest of us? Thanks.
Coach Pants, commenting on other DT complaints that TV stations were gratuitiously showing the breakdown over and over
