It what is an absolute stunner, it appears the World Wide Leader has treated a smaller member of the media with condescension. I know, can you believe it? Apparently, ESPN needed a little help with some Cornell basketball video after clinching the Ivy League conference championship and reached out to WBNG in Binghamton, New York. One of their anchors was just a little upset with their behavior.
Brendan O'Reilly took to his blog and wrote Bristol a nice little thank you letter. It's a little long, but I'm going to post in its entirety because it's that special.
"Dear ESPN,Looks like Brendan's career goals don't end with the WWL.
Thanks so much for calling my cellphone repeatedly on Saturday.
Not sure how you got that number, but it sure was super to chat. Say hi to Neil Everett for me. He's awesome.
Any-who, just wanted to clear up a few things.
Yes, we are happy to share the video from Cornell clinching their Ivy League title. Hope you don't mind if we go ahead and worry about our show first though.
I know everyone loves the Sportscenter, with the zany commercials and all, but we're going to go ahead and edit our stuff first.
We're selfish that way.
Second, after I send you the video roughly 15 minutes after we get the tape back from Ithaca, feel free to call again and ask me to resend it because "the video quality isn't the best." No sweat. It's not like I mentioned we're a staff of 2 putting together a 30 minute show.
I'll keep your number for when I want a different angle on all the stuff you send to WBNG.
Third, when you run our video on all your shows, please find a font size roughly one pixel in height to show that it was shot by WBNG. We want people that have 60 inch monitors to have to squint to read it. That's the goal.
So in conclusion, it was just fantastic bending over backwards to get you video. It really was. You didn't ask, but so you know it's a size XL for my sweatshirt, J-Ho looks like he might be a medium. And is it cool if I list you as a reference? Thanks. Your pal,
Brendan"
