I do not understand all this anger directed towards Erin Andrews.
Good lord, can you imagine that. No way I'd beat the 24 second clock.I'd like to direct something toward her in the bedroom.

Swish...I'd be throwing up a full court prayer with 23 seconds remaining.
Fox Sports pulled its advertising not just from WEEI, but from all Entercom (owner of WEEI) radio stations countrywide - over 100 stations. That's a major screw-up. Minihane and the local nitwits who "manage" him should consider themselves very lucky not to be fired over this debacle.
This is crazy. I knew Kirk when I was in junior high and high school. We knew each other through a mutual friend. We all played R.B.I. Baseball on Nintendo together. I haven't spoken to him since high school. I had no idea he had a radio program until I saw this topic.
Has anyone actually seen the video of him saying what he said? If not I would suggest you do.
In my opinion reading what he said gives off a much darker vibe than when I hear him say it in a different context. To me he comes across as saying in an exaggerated manner for entertainment purposes. He seems like he regretted using the term ***** a few seconds after he said it too (I don't blame him that's a little over the top even for me). And again in the context that it was in I don't think he really wants Erin Andrew to seriously die. If you still think that after watching this then you may want to check for the giant stick up your ass and have it removed by a professional.
As it turns out, Kirk Minihane’s week-long suspension from WEEI for comments he made about Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews will last longer than the network’s revocation of advertising from all stations owned by parent company Entercom.
Friday, Fox banned its personalities from appearing on WEEI and pulled all advertising from Entercom’s 100-plus stations nationwide in response to the station’s initial decision not to punish Minihane.
The network was apparently appeased by WEEI’s announcement later Friday – after the ads were pulled – that Minihane was suspended. Fox informed Entercom Wednesday afternoon that the advertising, which industry sources have estimated at a little more than $1 million, would be restored.
“We appreciate Entercom’s recognition and response to the inappropriate comments made by the WEEI host,’’ said Fox Sports senior vice president of media relations Lou D’Ermilio in a statement. “It is our sincere hope both organizations can now move forward.”
Entercom Boston vice president and market manager Phil Zachary said, “On our end, we consider the matter 100 percent resolved.”
Zachary said he expects that Fox Sports personalities such as Tom Verducci and Ken Rosenthal will be allowed on WEEI programming going forward.
Minihane’s suspension, which began Monday, was announced Friday night by Entercom president and chief executive officer David Field.
