Poor Taste ESPN

I respectfully disagree. It was refreshing to see people connected to the sport say what they really think for a change, unafraid to possibly upset someone. When I was writing for KentuckyDerby.com, I spoke to a well-known retired jockey for 1/2 hour about the Derby field. I asked him which horse he would choose to ride if given the chance, and he said "Street Sense. No doubt." I asked him if I could print that, and he said "Oh no. No no no no. I don't want to get in trouble." Then he said, "In fact, it's probably best if you don't write any of this."
