Rick Ankiel

On the heals of yet another remarkable game by Rick Ankiel comes word that he is now linked to an HGH investigation.

I wanted to write about Ricks story and the state of sports in light of this news, but Will Leitch at Deadspin has the authoritive voice of all things Cardinals and Rick Ankiel. And his most recent post is no different.

ESPN: The Walmart of Sports?

I just listened to a great interview with Will Leitch of Deadspin, and Scott Van Pelt of ESPN, on ESPN Radio.

Scott was willing to admit that there is a big segment of the universe that thinks ESPN is actually hurting sports and asks Will, who is the writer/editor of the biggest independent sports blog on the internet, how one might go about fixing what’s wrong with ESPN.

The dialog was both smart and witty at the same time.
