Leitch did sound foolish trying to "polish his turd" however, I don't think that Deadspin is completely without merit. A lot of the articles are funny and some of them are tasteless, but they do cover soccer pretty well and they do take to task ESPN quite a bit, and that is a good thing. 

The Costas Now segment was really sad though because I had respect for Costas, but not any longer. Bissinger was merely his bull dog.  Costas knew exactly what he was getting when he asked Bissinger to be on the panel. Costas let the tirade continue when he should have stopped it. Everyone knows how Costas feels about bloggers, one could guess how Braylon Edwards felt, and the only wild card was Bissinger. And the only one who knew how he felt was Costas. It was a classless move by Costas and personally, I have no respect for the man anymore. The whole segment was a sad example of journalism and Leitch did come off, at least on television, the better man.
