In a messy weekend at ESPN in which a video surfaced of The Jump host Rachel Nichols making disparaging comments about Maria Taylor, suggesting she got preferential treatment due to diversity, the New York Times reported in the same story that the networks NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski had called Nichols a bad teammate.
Now, some of that heat is being passed over to Woj. Are you fucking shitting me? This guy is going to call someone a bad teammate? For real? For real? Elhassan asked Le Batard, who is also a former ESPN employee and had somewhat of a public falling out of his own. Do we want to talk about the black careers that he put a foot on because he was threatened by? Do we want to talk about that? Do you wanna talk about the newsbreakers with an S of diverse backgrounds, who have rapports with players that Adrian doesnt have. That he saw as threatening because his sources are all front office people, and assistant coaches trying to move up, and maybe a video coordinator whos trying to get a better job somewhere else?

But he cant talk to LeBron, and he cant talk to Chris Paul or Damian Lillard or some of these other guys. He doesnt have that rapport with them. So what he does is he steps on them He steps on a lot of people over there. Elhassan also claimed that Wojnarowski is notorious for putting his name on other peoples work. Jemele Hill, who was also a guest on the show and is a former ESPN employee as well, suggested that both Wojnarowski and Nichols have the reputation for being ruthless. In the fallout from all the drama, Nichols has been taken off the sidelines for the NBA Finals, replaced by Malika Andrews. Her episode of The Jump on Tuesday was also cancelled. Another former ESPN talking head, Michelle Beadle, appeared to have some fun at the networks expense Tuesday, posting a laughing meme from Goodfellas.

Well that explains how Woj would get all those stories first. He steals the news from other people. Had no idea he was a racist though.
