Ex-Stanford Coach Troy Taylor Sues ESPN for Defamation
Taylor, who was fired after a pair of 3–9 seasons, alleges that ESPN articles about his workplace conduct led to his firing this spring.
Former Stanford football coach Troy Taylor is suing ESPN and its reporter for defamation, claiming the outlet knowingly published false information about him in a March story that led to his firing.
The complaint, filed Wednesday in the Northern District of California, centers says ESPN and reporter Xuan Thai “intentionally twisted the facts to advance a particular narrative and made (and repeated) patently false statements about Taylor for the purpose of harming his reputation and pressuring Stanford to fire him.” Spokespeople for ESPN and Stanford declined to comment, while Thai did not immediately respond.
A lawyer for Taylor told the Sacramento Bee that ESPN “repeatedly made false statements about the investigatory findings to paint Troy as a misogynistic bully” and that they filed the suit so Taylor could return to coaching.
ESPN published the story, headlined “Reports find Stanford’s Taylor bullied, belittled female staffers” written by Thai on March 19, and Stanford fired Taylor six days later. (He also went 3–9 in both of his seasons on The Farm.)

I watched them live with the volume off. It was wonderful. I actually chose the Macafee feed to mute, just so Herbie didn't get ratings. On one of my Oregon rewatches he starts out with some bullshit about how the crowd was 60/40 Oregon......while they were actively showing a sea of NOT green. MUUUUUUUUUUUTE.

Herbie is to analysis what the magic 8-ball is to predictive intelligence.
Shake that motherfucker all you want, it's going to say the same 5-6 things over and over again.
I heard the PM schtick for the first time this CFP because little Jax was home and watching the games with me so no mute.
I think people's tolerance of him is in direct proportion to how close they are to the "bro" age.
My 20 year old son thinks PM is insightful and entertaining. I think he's a complete moron who makes me feel very sad for the current state and especially the future of humanity.
Then I recall that old guys thought the same of us when we were that age and look how well things have turned out...or not.
Then I just drink more.
He's 20.
