Boston Herald - A poll on ESPN.com’s Page 2 yesterday may have been intended as edgy humor, but one of the poll’s subjects - <u>Kevin Garnett</u> - called this entry “distasteful.” The poll, drawing on the sports world’s current enmity toward Boston, asked users to vote for the event they would rather see happen - the Steelers beating the Patriots, Johan Santana being traded to any team but the Red Sox, or Garnett blowing out his knee. Garnett, his mouth ajar in disbelief upon hearing about the poll after last night’s game, recovered long enough to say, “Wow, that’s really distasteful, man. Man, I mean, that’s my life, my career. You don’t joke about something like that.” Garnett then leaned toward the nearest door - made of wood, naturally - and rapped his knuckles on it, before asking a team official to contact ESPN to register his dismay.</p>
That is fucked up. You don't even joke about that. Getting the flu or something, ok, but blowing out his knee? What a disgrace by the "worldwide" leader in sports.
ESPN tries to hard to be "funny". I am even tired of every damn ESPN commercial with some athlete attempting to be a comedian. You are not Saturday Night Live. You are (should be) a sports reporting networt.</p> On a side note - look out when KG plays upset!</p> </p>
