Report: ESPN Changes Its Mind, Decides Jenn Brown Shouldn't Be an Icehouse Spokesperson. So She Won't [UPDATE: ESPN Confirms It]
By Jason McIntyre
"“We have learned from sources at ESPN that the agreement is not moving forward as planned,” said Julian Green, spokesman for Chicago-based MillerCoors, which operates a major brewery and has administrative offices on Milwaukee’s west side."
Yesterday, we swapped emails with ESPN all day because supposedly, the deal was close to being nixed. In addition, we called and emailed a rep at Icehouse – the same guy who emailed us about the deal last week – and were told that they won’t deal in rumor and speculation. Wonder if we’ll hear from them after this post? [Ed: Still no confirmation on this report from ESPN.]
[UPDATE: 5:20 pm – ESPN has confirmed this.]
