Sports Talk Goes Head-To-Head With Christine Brennan

Christine Brennan has raised a few eyebrows in the last days over her comments on the Erin Andrews situation...

Here was Round One on her Facebook and Twitter elements...

On the Erin Andrews situation, a quick thought for those who have asked: There are hundreds of women covering sports in this country who haven't had this happen to them. I wish it didn't happen to Erin, but I also would suggest to her if she asked (and she hasn't) that she rely on her talent and brains and not succumb to the lowest common denominator in sports media by playing to the frat house.

Seeing this, and remembering their tete-a-tetes from the past, "Steak" Shapiro and co-host Chris DiMino hads Brennan as a guest on the "Mayhem in the AM" program Thursday morning on WQXI-AM/790 The Zone.

What the two hosts, seemingly, ignored were her follow-up comments to her original post...

When I said "play to the frat house," it was not meant to be pointed specifically at Erin, and I'm sorry if it was taken that way. It's a comment I use often in speeches and while talking to younger women to guide myself and all of us on how to live our lives as women in sports journalism.

I don't want us playing to the frat house; I want us talking to the 12-year-old girl on the couch watching sports with her Mom or Dad. As the hundreds of women who work in sports media know, we often still have to be twice as good to get half the credit. It's not fair, but it's the way it is. I have fought for years for opportunities for women in sports journalism, and will continue to do so. ...

and the last part... For those who think I am against Erin, nothing could be further from the truth. What happened to her is terrible, and she will always have my full support. That's all she wrote...thanks! :)

Here's their dust-up for all to listen to...

At the 4:30 and 12:30 marks of this are the major head-butting elements in the segment...

Those of us at OSG HQ think the act itself was wholly deplorable and completely "frat-house" like in its execution. This should happen to no one- ever...

Personally, we think the person or persons responsible should be executed...

But that's just us...
