I'm just curious as to the life of your work-a-day journalist in the sports world. I mean, when the bounty news came down did some super smart journalism/marketing guy say "Hey if we come down irrationally hard, we will see more views...nothing puts butts in seats on our website/TV channel/magazine than divisiveness, Exhibit A: Fox News."

And you have to go in and have an editor "punch up" your report of anything related to the Saints with some crazy extremist opinions?

Now, Florio and King are at a point in their careers where they write what they want, but sometimes I wonder about Sando and Yasinkas and them, on the bottom of the ESPN totem pole, how much of that is coming down from the top to generate ad revenue.
