This is life. This person almost destroyed Telemundo 47. Sex scandals at channel 47 COVERED BY HR and later at CBS. Goes to ESPN in Connecticut, where he’s been keeping a low profile and look at this now…will he keep working as apparently he is right or will he do it again? Oopps. The worse is that this guy is the president of NAHJ!!! We will see.
