Denny Hamlin crying?!
The tall, skinny, countrified interviewer whips out his laptop and shows Hamlin a clip of an interview with Nascar driver, Joey Logano. Logano says he didn't mean to wreck Hamlin in some race they were in. ESPNer asks, "Thoughts?"
I'm thinking is this The View?
Then in his response, Hamlin starts to get weepy and emotional.
This from a race car driver!
Done.

Dont turn it off yet. Wait until ESPN reports what LeBron had to tweet about it first.

A guy who broke his back got emotional when he saw video of the wreck and the guy who caused it?

Oh nooooeeeessss!

For a long time, 95 percent of the MSB is what ESPN did, what they just put on deadspin, and what they just put on profootballtalk.

This should come as no surprise.

I'm fine with all of the ESPN hate, but I'm not sure why an emotional Nascar interview would be an issue, nor am I understanding why it is ESPN's fault that Hamlin cried?

Probably because people tune in to NASCAR programming to find out information about the races and drivers--not Barbara Freaking Walters and a soap opera.

I wonder what would have happened if some douchebag "reporter" would have shown a video to Richard Petty and asked for his "reaction." First, he wouldn't have agreed to that kind of sensationalistic bullshite, and second, there wouldn't have been tears, I guaran-damn-tee you that.
