I'm more shocked that Mike Tirico is only 47 years old.

Who cares about his race, who knew Mike Tirico was a bonafide pervert and has been creeping on ESPN hotties his whole career?

I find it interesting that's what you took out of an article that paints him as a serial sexual harasser.

Keith Jarrett was born on May 8, 1945, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to a mother of Slovenian descent and a father of either French or Scots-Irish descent.
quote:

Jarrett has acknowledged that audiences, and even fellow musicians, have at times been convinced he is African-American, due to his appearance. He relates an incident when African-American jazz musician Ornette Coleman approached him backstage, and said something like, "Man, you've got to be black. You just have to be black," to which Jarrett replied, "I know. I know. I'm working on it."

On his wikipedia page
quote:

Tirico is unsure of his heritage, as he is not certain who his biological parents are. He has stated, "Yeah. I’d like to find out the truth at some point, so I can answer questions for my kids" regarding his heritage and biological parents.

I'm just curious how a two year old article was posted and discussed for four pages without anyone ripping the OP to shreds for posting an old story.
