I have a question...

Is Andy Katz a dirtbag loser if he's been told by higher-ups at ESPN to go to the game and angle report on the Fine scandal from the sideline?

I don't think Andy Katz would be doing that unless he was told he had to. He's always been a matter-of-fact, no-nonsense kind of guy.

It's been widely reported that ESPN made an executive decision to beat the Fine story like a dead horse in the wake of missing the scoop on the Penn State scandal.

It's also been speculated by many that a number of their beat reporters that are being asked to beat that that horse are doing so through clenched teeth and that there are internal misgivings all around at ESPN on how this story was broke and how they continue to handle it (or mishandle it).

I guess my point is, you want to be mad at ESPN on how they are handling this, that's fine (no pun intended). But to blame Katz when he's likely simply taking orders - you know, to keep his job and what not...

Seems kinda like you are missing the big picture here in blaming Katz... The issue goes much higher up the editorial foodchain at ESPN IMO...
