After all, TV judges not the sin but the sinner.<\/p>\n<p>Why did NBC hire Mike Milbury if not for his lure as a player and coach given to brutish, caveman displays and wild words? NBC was eager to exploit him as a draw.<\/p>\n<p>But now NBC has drawn a specious line on Milbury, removing him at least through the Stanley Cup playoffs, as a member of the He-Man Women Haters\u2019 Club, Alfalfa presiding.<\/p>\n<p>In this mad rush to demand unconditional tolerance attached to unconditional intolerance, Milbury was \u201ccaught\u201d on the air speaking of teams\u2019 COVID 19 \u201cbubbling\u201d as a means to devote full attention to hockey, \u201cNot even any women to disrupt your attention,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Did he say that indelicately? No. As a wise guy? I don\u2019t know. It didn\u2019t sound that way, more like a statement of fact. Regardless, Milbury was canceled as a crude misogynist.<\/p>\n<p>And with that decision NBC has drawn the inescapable attention that it hoped to avoid: the latest face, voice and big-events presence of NBC Sports, Mike Tirico.<\/p>\n<p>In 1992 while with ESPN, Tirico served a three-month suspension for multiple alleged sexual indiscretions, including reportedly stalking a female producer. Staffers were astonished that only the colleague who assisted him was fired.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s \u201cthe secret\u201d everyone knows but is supposed to ignore or forget. Milbury\u2019s sacking for no clear sexual indiscretion makes that difficult.<\/p>\n<p>After 25 years with Fox Sports, Thom Brennaman has been fired for speaking a slur for gays into what he thought was a dead microphone.<\/p>\n<p>Brennaman\u2019s two public apologies could not save him, though a longtime sports TV exec reminds us that a public apology was all it took for Fox host\/hip-hopper Nick Cannon to retain his employment after his hate-filled, ignorant rant against Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, for all TV\u2019s selective justice, there occasionally arrives a stout-hearted soul who can sort it out, which is why Jay Williams, known as Jason when he starred at Duke, likely will ensure his underutilization by ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>Williams\u2019 NBA career was lost to a motorcycle crash, which has provided him a strong sense of fair from unfair, right from wrong, real from wishful. During an ESPN panel discussion on college basketball court storming, he was the only \u2014 and youngest \u2014 to disagree that it\u2019s a fun student-body tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Williams instead told a non-pandering clear, present and proven truth: it\u2019s dangerous and reckless. There\u2019s no upside to thousands, with the final buzzer serving as the starter\u2019s pistol, engaging in a human stampede.<\/p>\n<p>Last week while the NBA again played dumb and cowardly, the Clippers\u2019 Montrezl Harrell, a black man as is Williams, during a playoff <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> was heard and seen calling Dallas\u2019 Luka Donic, \u201ca b\u2014h ass white boy,\u201d thus a double slur, of women and white men.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Adam Silver, Williams didn\u2019t run from it. On a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> video:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am no lip-reader, but damn, Montrezl. I can only imagine if Luka Doncic had said something like that to you and it got caught on tape. I can only imagine during Black Lives Matter how much a big deal that would have been, considering today\u2019s climate and state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody would have been commenting on it. People would have asked LeBron [James] and Kawhi [Leonard] about it. Everyone would\u2019ve had some kind of statement on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s not that big of a story because Trez said it to a Caucasian person. It should have been a big story, because that\u2019s not acceptable, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the next Mavericks-Clippers game, Harrell apologized to Doncic. And all is forgiven.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SNY_takes_lengthy_leaps_to_lionize_Lugo_Nimmo\"><\/span>SNY takes lengthy leaps to lionize Lugo, Nimmo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We learned quite a bit from SNY\u2019s Mets crew this week.<\/p>\n<p>With reliever Seth Lugo starting, Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez spoke of him as an indispensible superstar reliever, as if he were Mariano Rivera. Who knew?<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, during an ode to Jacob deGrom, game reporter Steve Gelbs told how Brandon Nimmo admires deGrom\u2019s pitch selection, adding, \u201cBrandon Nimmo is a guy who is obviously one of the best at picking up different pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16205106\"><img alt=\"Mets\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"661\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Brandon Nimmo<\/span><span>Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Obviously. Good thing he has such a good eye or he might strike out more. He led the Mets with 140 in 140 games two seasons ago; last year he K\u2019d 71 times in 69 games.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Gelbs, he\u2019s among the best at knowing what\u2019s coming \u2014 and what he\u2019s missing.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s sense of in-game circumstances remains dreadful, frenetic, no better than a chimpanzee plied on Pixy Stix.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, the Phillies led the Braves, 5-3, in the top of the fourth. Philly\u2019s Rhys Hoskins had a 1-1 count, bases loaded, none out, when Matt Vasgersian urged us to, \u201cTake a look at this!\u201d \u2014 as if we had a choice.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN abandoned the pivotal scene for us to study a three-paneled shot of Hoskins\u2019 improved batting stance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nets_bomb_in_playoffs\"><\/span>Nets bomb in playoffs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In their last two games of the season \u2014 both losses in awful, pointless games \u2014 the Nets took 101 3-point shots, 54 percent of their field-goal attempts. Still, it was recorded as NBA playoff basketball.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>MLB leadoff man of the week: The Reds\u2019 Joey Votto, oh-for-four, all strikeouts. Brewers won, 3-2, 25 strikeouts in 8 \u00b9\/\u2083 innings versus seven pitchers. As ESPN\u2019s Alex Rodriguez says, \u201cBaseball has never been more fun to watch!\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Always aim low. In a taped, thus chosen, WNBA Liberty feature on YES on Tuesday, a player referred to teammates as \u201cthese two mother suckers.\u201d That should do it! Now you\u2019ll become fans!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Tuesday on MSG, a Philadelphia offside against the Red Bulls was so obvious that no soccer fan in Philly or the Philippines would have griped. But the hometown public address system emitted loud boos, prompting MSG\u2019s Steve Cangialosi to scoff, \u201cThat\u2019s virtual booing.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Next inductee into the Hall of Fame is the person responsible for the \u201chold\u201d stat. To have such nonsense incorporated into box scores is worthy of unanimous enshrinement. Tuesday, Blue Jays reliever Wilmer Font, in one-third of an inning, allowed three hits and four earned runs \u2014 for his second hold of the season!\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/27\/nhl-analyst-mike-milbury-is-latest-victim-of-selective-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#NHL analyst Mike Milbury latest victim of selective justice&#8221; Repent, sinners!
