Oh Trust me....if it were a Cane....they'd have said much worse....I pray that someone (Dabo or family member) Lambast's them for it....
 
Maybe the mom and kid were fine with it or even wanted it to be public. Some people want to show even the worst situations can be overcome.

Same with the kid living in his car.

Hard to bash ESPN without that context.

That’s my thought on it too. No way you can be stupid enough to just air peoples dirty laundry out in the open like that for absolutely no reason. Tee Higgins came out and said he was fine with it and that he is very proud of his mom for overcoming it. Clearly it’s not a good look but those are just my thoughts on it

Unfortunately, for some strange reason, college football has become a mope fest. They can't do a story about ANYTHING without injecting some sort of sad story. I swear every fcking pick had a sob story attached to it even if they had to scrape the barrel for one.

Cue the ominous music and Tom Rinaldi's dramatic tones: "As an 8 year old, Charlie had a perfectly stacked 3 scoop cone from Kilwins. Or so he thought. Suddenly, without warning or provocation, what he thought was a perfect cone turned into his biggest nightmare. It started tilting. Almost out of nowhere. He tried to twist his young, not yet powerful or coordinated wrist, quickly to correct the wobble. But all he did was hasten the disaster. All three scoops of Superman ice cream plummeted to the floor and splattered with a sickening thud.

The next day, Charlie vowed to never let that happen again. He started feverishly working his forearms at 6:00AM the next morning and didn't stop until the next summer when he'd face a life-changing decision--3 scoops again? Or just 1 to be safe? He tugged on mom's shirt and told her, 'I want 3.' He's worn the number 3 ever since on a chain around his neck."

Yeah I don't see anything wrong with human interest stories, shows you what drives a kid.
 
This seems to be their new shtick on draft day..

I swear to god it felt like they went through 2 picks explaining Jeffrey Simmon's situation last year.

That was annoying but also every player who had a family Relative (Dad, brother, etc..) and showing a long highlight of them instead of a quick picture and moving straight on to the players highlight who was actually getting selected.
