SCHREIBER Sounds Off On ESPN

(From The USA Today -- By Michael McCarthy)

ESPN ombudsman LeANNE SCHREIBER has the job many sports fans would love -- taking the worldwide leader to task for what she sees as sensationalized news coverage, manufactured shouting matches, narcissistic SPORTSCENTER anchors and self-serving decision-making.

Schreiber, 61, whose two-year appointment as ombudsman kicked off April 1st, is already making waves.

She called out SEAN SALISBURY, SKIP BAYLESS, JAY MARIOTTI and WOODY PAIGE for yelling too much on the air.

She came down hard on ESPN RADIO's COLIN COWHERD for urging listeners to shut down THE BIG LEAD.COM.

The journalist and author, named the first female sports editor at THE NEW YORK TIMES in 1978, sounded off on all things ESPN.
