A moment of seriousness....

While we kid and joke, this blog really is apart of a phenomenon that has changed how news is delivered. Stories that might be buried (whether true or not) tend to fly across the internet at the speed of light. Typically I'm fairly loathe to report on rumors and innuedos as we all have cable news to handle that for us. However in this case its a topic thats a senstitive and important one for me and has been discussed in the Chicago Tribune (meaning its a least important enough to discuss) so I'll pull a pseudo-impersonation of Fox News and do a "I report, You Decide".

The story centers around the question as to if Sean Salisbury on Sunday while discussing Peyton Manning made an anti-semetic comment. In particular the incident played out as reported in the Tribune (see above link)

Describing Manning's calmness in the second half, Salisbury said, "No need to panic. We'll nip. We'll tuck. We'll go. We'll crunch."

Salisbury maintains he next said, "We'll chew. We'll do it all and they nickel and dimed them and Peyton made the plays when it mattered."

However, some bloggers allege instead of saying, "We'll chew," Salisbury said, "We'll Jew."

Fortunately for the truth, these bloggers actually have a recording of the incident at Deadspin here. Listen to the clip and decide for yourself and then decide if ESPN's non-action on this story is ok. Also feedback on the proper role of the internet on stories like this is cool too. As I said a moment of seriousness...
