Who to complain to when ESPN offends viewers – ohmbudsman Le Anne Schreiber

Thank goodness for ESPN ohmbudsman Le Anne Schreiber.  “What’s an ohmbudsman” you ask?  Back in college an ohmbudsman was the champion of the rights of the students.  When they had nowhere else to turn, he or she was their voice, their ersatz attorney, their supporter and their short-cut through beaurocratic red-tape.  It happened by luck that...

So Ernesto the Security and Predictions Iguana and I wasted ten bucks on this dreck. Apologies to my buddy Jay Kogan on this, but Pirates of the Caribbean: At Wit’s end, I mean Wallet’s End, I mean World’s End was baboon dung parfait. Ever watch Superfriends when you were a kid?
