You're right, I guess. The orientation of the paw print and the shade of "green" don't match. So whose then?

What high school?

John F Kennedy (Bellmore, NY)

Their current helmets aren't like that, but it's been almost 20 years since he graduated. It's beside the helmet of the other school he attended.

I know this partly because of Google and partly because I remember reading something about him and Steve Levy going to the same school and doing something at it recently.

Today in weird and inappropriate things said live on ESPN, we have NFL reporter Ed Werder making a tasteless joke about the weight of soon-to-be Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid.

During a report about Reid's negotiations with the Chiefs, Werder offered a reason Reid wasn't on a flight to Kansas City with the team's search committee. (Emphasis added.)
"Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and his delegation that includes GM Scott Pioli has actually left Philadelphia and return to Kansas City without Andy Reid in tow. Now I don't know if that's because Andy Reid might put the plane over its weight limit, but there's no apparent breakdown in the deal. The expectation still is that Andy Reid is going to be the next head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs."
​
Ooh, burn! With comic chops like that, I can't believe he didn't throw in a zinger about the quality of the food on the airplane. Or that Scott Pioli's arms were really tired after flying from Philadelphia.

Not that fat jokes are beneath BP or anything, still not appropriate for such a bastion of journalistic integrity such as E!SPN.

John F Kennedy is probably the worst football program in all of Long Island. They were every team's homecoming game. We played them my senior year in high school and the starters were out of the game after a quarter and a half.

During the week, Valvano hosts a radio show on ESPN 680 in Louisville. After the Cardinals upset the Florida Gators in Louisville, Valvano unleashed on the lack of repsect given Louisville not before the game, but after the game, especially by his counterparts at ESPN.
...
Valvano was incensed with the way ESPN analysts and the media-at-large tried to make excuses for Florida, claiming they somehow weren't ready to play the game. Nobody could seemingly admit Louisville may have actually been better than Florida because it didn't fit the SEC-Big East narrative.
...
"I have a lot of respect for Kirk Herbstreit, but over the last couple months the stuff that's coming out of his mouth is so preposterous, because he played and I didn't I guess he's got to have more credibility, just the most ridiculous things I've ever heard."
...
"What were they looking at to determine they weren't trying? The first play of the game they almost knocked Teddy across the Louisiana border? What are they talking about? Just because it serves your own theory… just have the guts to stand up there and say I was wrong."

There is a ~40 minute Youtube video in the link with his full rant, but it's always nice to hear new people ripping ESPiN for their biases.
