ESPN: Slamming the NY Post over the Erin Andrews video peep pictures

Why ESPN is banning the newspaper's staffers from appearing on the sports network's shows

ESPN has found a target for its wrath over the Erin Andrews video peep pictures, said Bryan McAffee in Right Juris. ESPN has banned New York Post personnel from appearing on the cable sports channel's shows. Why? Earlier this week the newspaper published blurred images taken from the Erin Andrews peephole tape.

"No one would have known that a sick voyeur had secretly videotaped" the beautiful ESPN reporter naked in her hotel room, said the New York Post, if ESPN "hadn't sent a letter to an obscure website demanding that it take down its link to a fuzzy video of an unidentified blonde." It was ESPN—not the censored NY Post Erin Andrews photos—that alerted the world that there were Erin Andrews video peep pictures to be found online.
