ESPN Hires Bonnie Bernstein
1-liner, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings September 15th. 2009, 1:30pmESPN: “With an eye on starting ESPNNewYork.com, ESPN last week hired Bonnie Bernstein, who most recently has done studio and sideline work for the network, to write for the site and contribute to Michael Kay’s radio show that airs on ESPN’s 1050 AM in New York.” Really? Bonnie Bernstein is supposed to anchor ESPNNewYork.com? We’d have thought ESPN would have gone after a big-time NYC columnist to stir up interest in their new venture, not a former TV sideline reporter. [SBJ]

Well, for starters, if they’re currently employed, their paper isn’t gonna let them “run” a website that will compete with their own for content. A one-off Sports Reporters or First Take appearance isn’t the same thing as spending your time working for a new “competitor” for your market’s eyeballs

though i doubt he’d go for it, this would be a brilliant move by bspn.
think about it: mushnick would pull hits far more than most other slobs they have on staff plus bspn gets to put a leash on him.
also, muchnick would have so much to write about, he’d have multiple strokes like dr. z and become a vegetable and unable to write again.
subtraction by addition.

Nope. You cant have Yankees coverage without Red Sox, Giants coverage without Cowboys, Jets coverage without Patriots, and Knicks coverage without your daily LeBron rumor.
I would be okay with “ESPN without Brett Favre and NASCAR” though. Jets fans are over Brett, right?

He said big time NY Columnist.
You can’t spell Mushnick without Schmuck

As i’m sitting here in class bored, I decided to go through last night second half raiders/bolts thread and JPQ has now shattered my affection for the once beautiful Halle Berry and i now picture an 11-toed sloth whenever i see her tits in swordfish. damn you JPQ

ummm maybe you don’t remember Payne Stewart, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Corey Lidle, Aaliyah, Randy Rhodes, Ricky Nelson and Vic Morrow (Vic only counts for a 1/2 point)

No man Sly, Slyvester Stallone’ ill fated attempt at an O Magazine for elderly roided up dagos. It was the Rhinestone of the publishing industry.

JPQ, I would rather live in my little fantasy world than subject myself to something like that again.

what makes a “good” plane crash? I thought that guy who landed in the Hudson was a winner.

Sully is always a hero in my book. Look at his alma mater

I don’t know what New York columnist they could have used.
Mushnick does bring in page views, when he rips ESPN and media coverage. So that’s out.
Lupica would bring too much baggage, too much expense and too much of a headache. I’m not sure how many true eyeballs he, or any other columnist would bring anyway.
Would seem to make much more sense to just pilfer beat writers who would break news.

jpq: you forgot will rogers.
