Does anyone stir up ESPN more than Knight?

[Longhorn01]

Parcels maybe. Anytime anyone in the entire world utters the words "Bob Knight" every single resource ESPN has available, is sent in a frantic effort to shine a light on the incident. It's insane.

Not saying the current attention isn't deserved. i just mean in the past, they go ape **** when this guy farts.

I guess from a sport reporters standpoint, it doesn't get much better. He is good TV. Plus maybe the media is a bit masochist and gets off on the abuse. I dunno.

I don't know either but I really really hope they don't make him a comentator like they did with the Tuna.

The first time some intern got his cue card wrong, the f-bomb police would die from exhaustion.

Reggie Bush?

Knight does get ESPN going. I doubt he would agree to more than a one-time appearance on a network during his "retirement". (I think he'll coach again next year.)

I would nominate Clemens as their top target of must-cover-everything-all-the-time. Even before the steroids story there were his milestone quests and annual "will he play again" vigils.

No.

Barry Bonds

Good call with Bonds.
Most hyped ESPN people:
1) Bonds
2) Knight
3) Tuna
4) Clemens

I'm curious as to whether Pat Knight will continue his dad's tradition of banning Sports Illustrated photographers from shooting home games.
