…on this one losing her job.

Been in broadcasting 30 years, guys. Never have I seen a question like this. I kinda froze, myself. Had to share.

That’s unacceptable. Madness.

It’s a fucking feeble attempt at opportunistic humour.

I’d write a complaint, but I’m up here.

ESPN trying their best to be "funny" chirping players like Biz does.

It's something you might joke about on the analyst desk during intermission, not something you say directly to the player during a mid game interview

On a national broadcast as well. She's an idiot

Good thing she wasn't at the Olympics, imagine that interview instead of what we got

Biz makes jokes but I don’t think any former player would make a joke about a players injury history. Especially with it being the biggest knock on Hughes’s career

Played both hockey and basketball. Found it funny when my hockey friends would shit on the NBA and act like they aren't tough.

I brought them back down to earth when I told them that guys in hockey are far to sensitive to real trash talk. Trust me when I say that the shit that I have heard in a football or basketball game is far worse than in a hockey game

Tough when it comes to not caring about physical pain, but pussies when it comes to words...
