Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, March 30, 2004

ESPN has been milking the Baylor foul story. In addition to the web columns, it's been featured prominently on SportsCenter both of the last two days, and it was one of the top stories on PTI. In a great production move, Rece, Nell, and Stacey interviewed coach Mulkey-Robertson at halftime of yesterday's UConn game.

A lot of people have said that the bad call was bad for the women's game generally. But in an ironic way, the opposite might be true. As ESPN obviously knows, controversy makes good copy.
