This is a small quote taken from a larger article on ESPN's growth and fluff, but I thought it was worth noting. From the Orlando Sentinel via TSB...

Dana Jacobson was suspended by the network for getting drunk and making religious slurs at a roast with fellow ESPN personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic.

"We've had to adapt and I've made one change -- we're not doing any more roasts," said John Skipper, ESPN executive vice president of content. "The big adaptation is everybody has to be cognizant we're in a world where there is less and less privacy. . . . You have to watch what you say unless you're in your own home sealed in a hyperbaric chamber."

Skipper is willing to deal with the pain as long as the network continues to grow.
