Right call. ESPN doesn't need the headache of continuing to spotlight someone who has become so divisive.

 ESPN is a joke!  I've seen worse things written on their web site by their own pompous writers than what HWJ said.

 Lets remember that this woman is still currently employed by ESPN.  HWJ was never actually employed by the network...they just used his opening and his song.  Talk about your double standard!
 
Jemele Juanita Hill is a columnist for ESPN.com's Page 2 and ESPN's First Take.
Jemele Hill joined ESPN in November 2006 as a national columnist on ESPN.com.  Hill also makes regular appearances on television, including SportsCenter and several ESPN programs, including ESPN First Take, Jim Rome is Burning, and Outside the Lines. Hill also became only the second woman to ever appear on Around The Horn on October 22, 2009.
 
During the 2008 NBA Playoffs, Hill was suspended from her post after referencing Adolf Hitler in an article about the then-NBA champion Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons. In an editorial describing why she could not support the Celtics, Hill wrote: "Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It's like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan. Deserving or not, I still hate the Celtics." The comments immediately generated a negative response from readers and that portion of the editorial was taken out shortly after the column was published. Hill was subsequently suspended for one week and issued an apology through ESPN.
 
In 2009, Hill was at the center of a controversy after telling Green Bay Packers fans to give Brett Favre the "Duracell treatment," implying that fans at Lambeau Field should throw batteries at the former Packer quarterback  
 
Later in 2009, Hill once again was reprimanded for her comments after comparing University of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball coach John Calipari to Charles Manson. She later apologized to the university.

 So one reference to Adolph Hitler is somewhat okay, but the other one is not? 

She wrote that people should throw batteries at Brett Favre and she compared Calipari to Charles Manson???? 

Those aren't as bad as what HWJ said?  Well, IMO those are just as flamible and unacceptable as anything HWJ said.  ESPN deallt with them differently for what reason?  Because she is an employee of ESPN?  I mean come on....a standard is a standard is a standard.  You cannot pick and choose when you want to uphold your own standard and when you don't.  Thats just plain hypocritical and drives your credibility into the ground!!!  ESPN has become a joke!  Even Berman is difficult to listen to these days!

 See this comes down to politics when its all said and done, and politics in sports is pathetic.  All depends on what side of the aisle you lean.....

As far as the NFL goes, ESPN blows, always has. That network was about baseball when they started up. Let them find a better theme song for MNF. Ain't gonna happen in any of ya'll's  lifetimes. Fact, Jack.

No offense to Mr Davis, but I don't think commissioner of the AFL counts.

I perform every one of those duties for my FF team every year.

Looks like they are pulling a San Antonio and trying to ensure Luck to follow Manning like Duncan followed Robinson

It is an interesting theory though. There have been lots of questions about why Indy didn't do something about their QB situation when they knew that Manning needed surgery. If they end up sitting their big name players for minor injuries that they would normally play through the thoughts of tanking would get even more voiced.

 They (The Colts)  have already come out and said if they get the #1 pick in the draft they would take Luck.  I think its a no brainer that teams are "tanking" in order to be in the running to draft Luck.  Hell, a team who doesn't need Luck would be smart to get that #1 pick and tradde out of that spot and reap the rewards....

The one thing I laughed at was when Irsay said that a guy like Luck doesn't come around very often and having him on the roster and sitting for 3 or 4 seasons would be a good thing.....I'm willing to bet Luck has no intension of wanting to sit for 3 or 4 years before he gets a chance to play....even if its behind a guy like Manning.

Knew ol dipshit Jim Shorts had more to do with this.
The guy has been over-reacting on the sideline for years. (see his childish cele after our game)
And now suddenly, he's agahast at someone else's antics.
Paybacks a bitch.
That cute little "know the rules" got you the reaction from Harbaugh you deserved. Take it.
