ESPN Screws Up

Oh, those pesky ESPN.com polls. I always assumed nobody read them, and the guys who make the polls must have shared my opinion because an “inappropriate poll” made its way onto the site last week. Apparently it’s not acceptable to ask people if they want to see Kevin Garnett get injured.
The question posted last week asked whether voters would want to see:
• The Steelers beat the Patriots.
• Twins star Johan Santana be traded to a team other than the Red Sox.
• Kevin Garnett blow out his knee.
The poll was taken down and this week the site issued an apology. I haven’t seen the apology, but it better be for not including “Tom Brady contracts seven STDs in one week” and “God tells Curt Schilling he hates him” as potential answers.
