"I apologize for even uttering the comments, whether you heard them or not, whether you were offended or not."

See, this is an actual apology, not like the fake ones along the lines of "I'm sorry that *you* took offense."

People wouldn't have such a problem with the WNBA if ESPN and Stern didn't try to force it down our throats.

That is all an apology should be in most cases. Why should they apologize if you can't handle what they say?

I got a simple solution to that. Stop watching the NBA (aka Predetermined Thugball).

buckeyebrain: I got a simple solution to that. Stop watching the NBA

Way ahead of the curve on that one. I love college ball but wouldn't watch an NBA game if you paid me.

I remember Bruce Jacobs from years ago on Fox Sports radio, he says stuff like this all the time.

If I were his boss, I'd fire him because he thought that line was funny.

9beers: People wouldn't have such a problem with the WNBA if ESPN and Stern didn't try to force it down our throats. the game didn't suck.

Sorry, but it's true.

Sleeping Monkey: Bob_Laublaw: See, this is an actual apology,

BS. This is as empty an apology as they come. They only thing he's sorry for is being called out. Fark him.

Well, if he is told to issue an apology but he doesn't believe he did anything wrong, then what should he say?

I remember when Jim Rome was interviewing David Stern and at the very end Rome said something to the effect of, "Next time you're on we should have a chat about the WNBA."

Stern: "We aren't going there Jim."

HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS! WE FOUND HIM!

So he went from Fox Sports in LA to ESPN in Albany. Apparently his career was already moving in reverse. Maybe he was just conducting an experiment to determine if anyone was actually listening to his show.

I've been called out on the carpet for lesser flaps than this.

i think no one in today's media does not wants originality or anything creative.
obviously this asshats' boss let him do this.
anyways,
i thought of this in less than 5 minutes:
hello ladies and gentiles, get ready for today's wnba match up between the virginia splits and the witchata stream beavers, were the only balls these ladies will handle will be on this court. today's game is brought to you by stanley steamer carpet cleaners and the new Vulva Osprey that features all wheel drive for those slick roads we encounter on the ride home.

/see, how hard can that be.

It fills the summer broadcast schedule. What else are they going to run, more episodes of NFL Live in May?

Yeah, that'll put butts in the seats.

know how i know youve been drinking?

Depends on the meaning of wrong. Socially incorrect? Yes. Inaccurate? ...

I really wish I could say that without lying.

Tradition around here is for most of the town to go to a certain bar at 10:00am, kids be damned.

/Got there at 9:30am
//I'm farking zonked

expobill: molson goldens...only a few!

:)

Well what he said is true.

I think I would care more about this if the WNBA actually had ANY significance at all in the sports world. It gets bad ratings, the games are boring as hell, and I can't name ONE player from the league.

Sleeping Monkey: Bob_Laublaw: See, this is an actual apology,

BS. This is as empty an apology as they come. They only thing he's sorry for is being called out. Fark him.

He should be more ashamed that it wasnt even funny or entertaining, thats why they should fire him, everyone knows the WNBA is boring.

It was probably more of a joke than it was hate. I do feel like I'm owed an apology for that terrible attempt at humor though.

To be fair he said it on a radio how. He probably thought nobody would hear it because people don't listen to the radio anymore unless it is the backwards people that listen to Rush.

Worst thing about the comments is that they are painfully unfunny.

I'm just saying if the guy wants to go down that road he should at least have some material. Even 7th grade innuendo about "taking it to the hole" or questioning a woman's ball-handling skills is better than simple name calling.

Huh, and here I thought the stereotype was that women weren't funny. Perhaps Bruce should retire to sandwich-making and cleaning house.

Theaetetus: Huh, and here I thought the stereotype was that women weren't funny. Perhaps Bruce should retire to sandwich-making and cleaning house.

No, women suck at sports once they reach 15, some women are funny just most of them believe shiat like Jeff Dunham is comedy.

EmRack: I_Am_Weasel: In women's basketball, I always root against the heterosexual.

so you root for all the WNBA players then??

grinding_journalist: HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS! WE FOUND HIM!

See, it's funny because it's assumed that no one watches the WNBA and that the league is fully comprised of lesbians.

Well, to be fair, they must be lesbians or they'd be pregnant and making dinner.

I have to do everything around here.

We no can dunk, but good fundamentals. That more fun to watch.

Incontinent_dog_and_monkey_rodeo: If I were his boss, I'd fire him because he thought that line was funny.

This. I biatch about Cowherd sometimes, but I realize that sports talk can be so much worse.

...because he couldn't think of a lesbian-related word that sounded like Sparks? See, I'd just fire him for being lazy.

Ah yes, radio sports talk, my go to place for tasteful, nuanced commentary.

bigpeeler: There aren't lesbians in the WNBA?

Walk around an arena during a game and it might as well be a lesbian singles bar.

He should have defended it on the merits.
