March Media Madness 2015: The Reilly Region
By Ty Duffy
Keith Olbermann is a man obsessed by justice and decency. Penn State fans were unfazed by it in pursuit of their long lost football wins. Coincidentally, we had this matchup before the recent flare up.
Michelle Beadle obliterated First Take, ethered FSU Twitter and got hit in the face with a fish. NFL reporters rode an agent-fueled media merry-go-round of insanity. Jim Harbaugh was let go by the 49ers, decided to go to Michigan, and left when able.
Mike Mayock got funky during the NFL Draft Combine. Jameis Winston stealing crab legs would have been a contender for sports headline of the year, had the lingering cloud from the sexual assault accusation not been hanging over him.
Sydney Leroux is an Olympic gold medalist in women’s soccer. Sasha Cohen is an Olympic gold medalist in women’s figure skating. Both hit the beach and take pictures of themselves during the sports blogging slow months.
Gregg Doyel upset Dan Le Batard last year, en route to an improbable Final Four run. Can Papi finish what his son could not?
Rachel Nichols did penance for 1,000 talk abouts with this question to Roger Goodell. Samantha Ponder has an adorable baby and just co-hosted “The View” for a week.
Dan Patrick vs. Colin Cowherd: America’s favorite sports radio feud. Cowherd fired a shot recently. Dan Patrick responded, twice.
Richard Sherman talks a lot to the media. Marshawn Lynch talks very little. Both inspire a lot of talking.
