Let The ESPN Freakout Begin

Back in August, we wrote that the forthcoming ESPN book, Those Guys Have All The Fun, will make many ESPN employees crap their pants. Well, here comes the onslaught: The book's publisher has lifted the embargo on releasing details from the book. You'll certainly hear more about the "rowdiest frathouse in sports TV" in the next few days, but this is what we have so far:

Let The ESPN Freakout Begin"A lot of drugs ... quite a bit of screwing" | John Skipper, ESPN's executive vice president of everything, said yesterday: "I can tell you categorically, we do not have a frat-boy culture." Which doesn't quite match up with the words of ESPN's former general counsel: "The company would have Christmas parties up at some horrible place in Bristol. A couple of them were drunken orgiesâ€¦. It became like a big frat party. There were a lot of drugs being done in the bathroom." And prostitution in an ESPN-owned apartment, too.

Let The ESPN Freakout Begin"I've never seen anybody do SportsCenter as well as Olbermann. Nobody." | Keith Olbermann was the best, but he was also the worst. He once estimated that he deserved an 887 percent raise. "Everything he did was personal. And that was what made him great," Dan Patrick said. Said Suzy Kolber: "He made a lot of people unhappy around him. I'm sure he made me unhappy."

Let The ESPN Freakout BeginThose guys have all the fur | An excerpt excised from the book tells us of a disgusting pastime, "rug racing," from Bristol's glory days. More hookers abound, naturally. Some of the inveterate rug racers still work for the Worldwide Leader, though, like so many others at ESPN, they'll get some weird looks in the hallways should their names leak out.

Roflcopter at the reports of rug racing...

that is not even close to what I thought it would be - but it was also naive of me to think any man would put a woman's pleasure ahead of his own... even in the name of competition.

Competition brings positive results for everyone.

Well, that was redirected to the "extreme bulldozer", so that's not rug racing.

Wench was on the right track...kind of...if you consider this "a woman's pleasure".

Thanks, Chizad. It was blocked here, so I didn't know it was a redirect...

You see, Wench...it's all about you wimenz.

Which is completely as it should be... too bad it never is.

That's probably not a good thing to race at - I mean, to paraphrase The Most Interesting Man In The World, when it comes to some things, speed is not a desirable quality. My guy would always lose since I would enjoy it as long as I could...

Not to mention, who cares about a hooker's pleasure??? I do hope that little joyride was not in lieu of payment - those EPSN guys are not all that hot - back then, they were all guys who just reported the sports, most of them never played, so they were fat or dorky or scrawny, etc. I bet those whores charged those guys extra since it was harder to fake it.

And who wants to go down on a hooker anyway? Blech!

So a business full of ex-athletes and snobby journalists who are predominantly male engaged in immoral activity after making millions of dollars?

Color me shocked.

Anybody up for some treated hooker beaver?

Hey Joe Schad!!! Better hope your fuckin' name doesn't pop up in the book. I've got a feeling that Mel Kiper and Cocaine might be in the same sentence.

You know Mel used to snort like a champ. What am I talking about he still does.

Splitting an eight ball with him would blow.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope every fucker that gives Cam major shit is in this book. Schad's only been at ESPN for like 5 years though, so I highly doubt he makes the book. Hopefully Brando makes it, and for some reason, I have a feeling he will. I'm hoping Andrea Kremer participated in these Rug Races.

Please karma Gods, please!

I'm thinking the hookers would have charged extra for that.

At least you get a nice topping of cheese when you're rug racing with Holly Rowe.
