Most of you know I like sportsbybrooks.com but, you read a column and are like...what is the point? I understand the girl part but really don't see why it's being made into a big deal....

Looks like an excuse to show pictures of scantily-clad women. Such is the state of modern sports media -- you don't have to go very far to see it denigrate to frat guy talk. Tune into any local sports talk show (especially the lesser ones) and you can practically hear the hosts ogling over women like they're meat.

Sam Rutigliano was the coach of the Cleveland Browns. The mother of a current porn star worked as an office assistant to the Cleveland Browns when Rutigliano was coach.

That's the link the columnist made, never mind the fact that the "actress" was, oh, five years old when Sam left for Liberty. It's a complete non-story. It's an excuse for a website to show pictures of hot women.

Like I said earlier, you shouldn't expect any more from modern sports discussions.

On the other hand, it's rather convenient. There is a direct correlation between how bad a sports radio station or sports website sucks and the amount of coverage of "babes" on the front page of its website, or how frequently that topic comes up in conversation.

I dealt with it when I worked for a local ESPN Radio affiliate, and when I was looking for jobs a year-and-a-half ago, I was going to apply to one station... until I saw that its webpage advertised a 'babe of the day'. I refuse to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
