Stuart Scott weighs in, apparently he calls his daughter ho

The best football blog is www.profootballtalk.com, and it's author Florio weighed in on Imus, and I agree with everything he said.

ESPN host Stuart Scott, appearing Thursday on ESPN Radio's Man-Girl & Meatball in the Morning, explained away the use of terms like "nappy" and "ho" in rap lyrics by suggesting that rappers mean such words "in an affectionate way."...

The other problem we have with all of this is that we think ESPN has no business debating the questionable statements made by sock puppets at other networks when ESPN management refuses to allow its on-air talent to talk about the questionable statements made by their own sock puppets. On Tuesday, John Seibel of ESPN Radio's The Sports Bash essentially admitted that folks in Bristol were not allowed to talk about Michael Irvin's inflammatory comments regarding Tony Romo's lineage for fear of possible discipline.

Instead, ESPN and its various media outlets ignored the issue in the hopes that it would die over the extended Thanksgiving weekend. When it didn't, Irvin publicly apologized with scant commentary from others at ESPN.

Then there was the Sean Salisbury "Jew or Chew" conundrum. And, of course, Sean's alleged cell phone photography habit. (Editor's note: Don't leave you camera around wacky Sean) Not a word of either issue was ever addressed on ESPN, to our knowledge.

"I railed against that whole story off the air," Seibel said on April 10. "I didn't say a thing about that on the air. I was never a Michael Irvin fan, not even close. . . . We all have the people that we have to satisfy. We all have to make some kind of concessions to maintain our employment. That is sad. . . . Had I come out and spoke my mind on Michael Irvin, it would have been my last show."...
