This actually isn't something knocking ESPN, but praising their B1G writer.

ESPN's NCAA Football Page had a nice wrap up of the B1G mailblog.
Not sure who Adam Rittenberg is, but he seems to write well and does a good job of dealing with angry emails pertaining to the most sought after HC positions in the B1G. Mostly dealing with pissed off Wisconsin fans.

He does look like the subway guy, though.

It's either Nokia or ESPN, but it's funny.

I think he's saying the money may be better suited or donated to local cancer projects such as the James Cancer Hospital, Pelotonia or the broad-based American Cancer Society, which oversees everything.

Probably keep the money with Ohio State cancer research charities rather than anything associated with ESPN.

That's a guess.

Since it's ESPN, I doubt this guy is even warned about his Copy/Paste habit from Wikipedia for stories.

http://deadspin.com/5924851/espn-entertainment-writer-has-a-wikipedia-habit?tag=Lynn-Hoppes

To his ever-growing rap sheet, let us now add this: Hoppes is, shall we say, over-reliant on Wikipedia as a research tool.

Whether it's verbatim cut-and-paste jobs or ethically ambiguous paraphrasing, most of Hoppes's tidbits?and tidbits are the primary medium in which Hoppes works?are pulled uncredited from his subject's Wikipedia page.

as long as it goes 100% to cancer research, you can't find any fault in it. Banging on it simply because it's associated with ESPN is obtuse.

So if 2nd Mile was putting money towards Cancer research you wouldn't find any fault in the mission of 2nd Mile (i.e. being a pimp service for Sandusky and other Pedos)????

I made the mistake of reading the comments....gah.

Nebraska fan butthurt because Ritt said Penn State's facilities are superior...to Wisconsin's.

Idiots.

Coming into the ESPN looking stupid again thread.. and praising ESPN is obtuse.

Whats wrong with saying he'd donate HIS money to The James instead of ESPNs foundation? Both go to the same cause.. he didn't knock cancer research or giving money to that cause.. just that he'd prefer not to give it to ESPN.
