Walton DA FOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE
Can you imagine how bizarre a meeting about these comments between ESPN higher-ups and Bill Dub would be?
ESPN Suit: Bill, we're greatly troubled by your commentary the other night, particularly two comments targeting ESPN and two of its employees.
Bill: Troubled? Well, as the late great humanitarian and genius John Lennon wrote: when I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom: let it be.
ESPN Suit:We can't simply "let it be" when it comes to this issue. We don't take damage to the brand lightly; we like our paid employees to stay on message as far as network business is concerned. And we need to be assured that you won't veer off-course again. There will have to be a suspension and an apology to all offended parties.
Bill: It was actually Paul McCartney who wrote the song, not John Lennon. Still living, still breathing, yet still a martyr in his own respect. One of the 5 most important living human beings in all of the universe. I met him once, and was overcome by a sense of pure wonder upon shaking his hand. Standing in the shadow of his enormous energy, I knew at that moment that anything one could envision was truly possible.
ESPN Suit:fukk it, you're fired.
