ColtsIUDomer Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 i just read it on MSN,, There's a Indy star video (terrible) https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/dan-dakich-suspended-from-espns-the-fan-for-not-adhering-to-journalistic-principles/ar-AAJ7vZC?li=BBnb7Kz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I wonder if the interim announcer will hold a lifetime grudge if he doesn't get the job permanently. (Not sure if everyone will get this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will forever be grateful for his playing days and part of his coaching days. Otherwise the only time I tune in is if a national guy or special guest will join. If he sticks just to hoops I enjoy him calling a game. When he strays is when he loses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 This whole thing is suspicious and lacking in transparency. "Journalistic principles?" He's a talk show host not a journalist. He talks out of his backside all the time, and he'd be the first to admit it. Also, it happened "last year." So, why is it rearing its head now? There is more here than meets the eye, and I hope it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchenry34 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Does anyone think this is about his comments regarding Jordan Geronimo and his mother being at UNC with Michael Jordan? I think Dakich said something about her sleeping with Michael Jordan and that is why she named her son after him? Could explain the timing a bit better...
