Jonathan Coachman Accused Jorge Sedano of "Jacking" His Segment, Things Escalated
By Kyle Koster
Jonathan Coachman caught wind of Jorge Sedano doing an “una palabra” segment on ESPN Nación and took issue to the similarity to his “one word” bit.
People are just jacking our segment. At least it's being done in Spanish here. #oneword. pic.twitter.com/63UIM4H2uV

Things escalated from there. Here’s the back-and-forth:
You invented one word? Your pettiness translates in any language. You weren't even first at ESPN. Maybe you should talk to @PTI about that. https://t.co/d52Vnvrg9A

Pettiness? At least change the name. At least you didn't use our graphics too. So thank you for that. https://t.co/qLEqrvcGlO

You first.

Also, do we really need to go over your history of being petty with your "teammates?" https://t.co/mve4FUS1BM

I ain't the one checking receipts on what my colleagues are doing all day. Keep doin you, tho https://t.co/excrksMWSJ
What even is this and how did it rise to such a level? Especially since ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption has been asking “what’s the word” since 2009.
One word to describe the whole spat? Unnecessary.
This comes hot on the heels of Bill Simmons accusing Jonah Keri of taking his trade value column idea and using it on another site. One more incident and we have a trend piece.
