ESPN Executive Comedy

This could be one of the funniest quotes I've heard from a media executive.

Disney CFO Jay Rasulo said yesterday that his network (ESPN) was not concerned about the possibility of the NFL canceling their season because "we'll simply replace it with other athletic contests."

That's a good one.

Other athletic contests. Whoo boy.

It reminds me of my mom when I was a kid. "Richard, I know you vanted ze Beatles album, but ve got you zis other musical act instead. Look zey have guitars too. Und zey are a family--The Patridge Family."

Yup, same thing.
