I just want to give a shout out to Sam Alipour for being a normal person and not some buttoned up, nerd reporter. We all drop shit bombs from time to time. I just dropped one here in this blog. I like seeing a little personality out of my ESPN people. Not everyone needs to be like Schefter, who probably would suspend himself if he cursed on air.
Alipour was playing a little basketball while riding a horse (don’t ask me why) while in OKC and threw a bad pass, followed by a hard “OH SHIT”.
Today on SportsCenter I rode a horse. Then I almost got two cowboys killed. Then I cursed on live TV. Another really good day w/ @jaymee. pic.twitter.com/j6GzsfL64H

ESPN will probably let this one slide and good for them.
Russell Westbrook, however, isn’t so lucky
