Default 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?

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.

Yeah, haha - you caught me - I made a mistake. I'll go back and change it and give you credit for calling me out on it.

Disingenuous tool? You'd need 3 promotions to be anything more than a hemorrhoid in a southern pie hole opening.
