Default Worst Week in American Sports?

Bud wants nothing to do with Barry. Steroid controversy, fans unhappy, etc. And now there's a chance it'll happen vs. Milwaukee? Yuk.

Goodell has his work cut out for him. It seems that Pacman Jones' kryptonite is strip clubs. That, or his inability to say "no" to his thug friends. And now one of the primary faces of the NFL is under federal indictment for dog fighting. This includes allegations of hanging dogs, drowning dogs, and banging a dog's head over and over again til it was dead. Great.

And now we have the already-struggling NBA with a ref that was shaving points for a mafia crime family. Hmm. Stern's job certainly isn't getting easier.

What is the future of American sports? Have we passed our Golden Age? How many more scandals will we see in future years, compared to this past decade?

The key is to leave ESPN off until 3rd week of August.

Comparing apples to oranges usually is.

How someone at the top in ESPN couldn't see what a terrible idea this would be in both theory and execution, is beyond me. Did someone at least get fired for this?

I know it's July. There's not much going on besides baseball. It's a hard month for sports ratings, but putting up absolute [censored] is inexcusable.
