    This might be our best opportunity to get Duke off our tv screens.

    Apparently it's not a joke, ESPN just released a statement confirming the story. My God

    Well, to be fair, they did have to apologize for having a fantasy football draft on TV.

    Makes sense to me, or at least doesn't make me think it means the world is ending, but to each his own

    Makes sense that a guy can't do the job he's worked so hard for because his name is similar to a man that lived 150 years ago?

    Meh. It's pretty bad we live in a climate where a guy is afraid he can't do his job simply because people will probably raise hell about a name you know his parents didn't select because of a Civil War general. Pretty lame hat a joke segment that involved bidding on black and white players (much like the NFL draft that routinely makes black people millionaires) warranted an apology.

    If they're just switching games then there is no harm here. Just a sad state of affairs, but not really due to ESPN.

    We realize he's going to be a meme whatever game he's at now, right? Because that is how the internet works. And heaven help us the first time he says something even remotely connectable to the civil war.

    Not sure they did this guy and favors.

    They should have just steered into it and had him make multiple joking references to the Civil War. What a fourth down stop. I haven't seen a defense stand firm like that since the days of Stonewall Jackson.

    How I hope he calls a game involving Georgia with the opponent having a stud player named Sherman.

    Maybe A&M will rehire Mike after Sumlin goes.
