Sports Anchor Slams Vince McMahon

[LENSCRAFTER]

Sorry if this has been posted. Pretty nice!

WKMG (CBS Orlando) ran a story on WrestleMania 24 coming to Orlando next year.

Vince McMahon was asked about possible steroid use by WWE wrestlers.

Off camera he told reporters that was in "bad taste"...

Anyway... here is what happened when Todd Lewis covered the story. Incidentally, Todd's last day at the station was Tuesday (not because of this story)

Performance enhancing drugs? IT'S FREAKING SCRIPTED. Who cares?

I guess I'm not going to place any more bets on the matches.

Oh, and I like dental floss.

Lens - where's Todd going?

[LENSCRAFTER]

Hey Bandit.

I'm not sure if Todd even knows. His contract wasn't renewed, but I know he told the Orlando Sentinel he wanted to stay in Central Florida.

[Bandit '07]

Well, dang! He's a great guy and a terrific anchor. I'm sure he'll end up somewhere great.

Thanks for the update!

[LENSCRAFTER]

Yeah he is Bandit. I was rather shocked when he wasn't renewed. But KMG is toying with a LOT of talent right now. Several folks seem to be on the way out.

Why is it 'news' for a station website what one of their anchors says about a story?

I actually saw it in The Long Island Press.

2 bits says he gets a valentine next year from that d*ck Phil Mushnick over at TV Guide.

I hate when good people don't get renewed and goons come in and replace them.

Todd's apparently not up to speed on WWE nowadays. Otherwise he'd know at least a little something about their Wellness Policy and policy on drugs in general in the wake of Eddy Guerrero's death, which has been enforced (just as Rob Van Dam).
