Lots of commentary the last week of what's been going on with blogs bringing to light various scandals and affairs that have nothing to do with sports, yet feel obligated to comment on it.
Deadspin's taken lots of heat for this post and this one. Steve Phillips, recently fired from ESPN for having an affair, is also being talked about throughout the sports blogosphere because people seem to think that a corporate employee who slept with a P.A. is newsworthy.
We're not often ones to judge. This site has been crass as any; but we're talking about real people, with real families leading real lives that are getting really ****** up. Is it blogs' -- or any media's -- place to report on who's sleeping with whom? This isn't ******* TMZ or some other smut-peddling rag. We're sports blogs. We talk about Xs and Os, hanging curves and game-winners and why the Redskins are so ******* dreadful.
Leave the professional mishaps to Human Resources. Now go about talking about things that actually matter...like sports.
