Proper order, ESPN... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool...00252-32560355/ Commentator Jon Champion rebuked after branding Liverpool FC striker Luis Suarez a cheat live on air COMMENTATOR Jon Champion has been rebuked by ESPN after branding Liverpool FC striker Luis Suarez a cheat live on air during the FA Cup tie against Mansfield Town. Champion slammed the Uruguayan for the handball which referee Andre Marriner failed to spot prior to the Reds’ second goal. He described it as “the work of a cheat”, which sparked an angry response from Reds fans. In a statement ESPN said: “We take our responsibility to deliver the highest standards of coverage to our viewers. “ESPN’s editorial policy is for commentators to be unbiased and honest, to call things as they see them. “Inevitably this can involve treading a fine line on occasion, especially in the heat of the moment. “Comments during the Mansfield v Liverpool match caused offence where none was intended and we have spoken to our commentator about this incident."

That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
