Everyone seems to have an opinion on Sarah Palin. I’m sure the democrats are giddy at the prospect of her vs. Obama in 2012.

“Officials with the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department admit no wrongdoing, stating the responding officer feared for his safety and took appropriate action. Authorities also say the Plevney family praised the actions of officers in a report filed with the department. The Plevney family adamantly denies such praise.”

Deadspin vs. ESPN

Deadspin vs. ESPN:

This is a good overview of the heavyweight battle. I’m going to fall in the middle on this one. From all accounts, ESPN has a serious problem with their workplace atmosphere. I don’t think airing all of the dirty laundry is necessarily justified by Deadspin, but its obvious that ESPN has been covering its own ass for years now.

If any of these employees was unfairly named, then go take Deadspin to court. That said, I’m willing to wager that this will cause ESPN to spend more time cleaning up its act than Deadspin will spend defending itself against libel suits.

Great interview. Wish more sports starts were more forthcoming about the behind-the-scenes happenings of their team. Even if he is stroking the ego of his teammate.

“Recently, conservative commentator Armstrong Williams hosted a fundraiser for Jackson’s budding political career at Armstrong’s home on Capitol Hill. Williams told The Washington Times he supports Jackson because, “I truly believe in [Jackson’s] cause. We are gun-toting, God-fearing folks, and we believe in law enforcement and support law enforcement.””
