When Andy Katz broke the news on the Kelvin Sampson hire at ESPN-News, something strange happened: All the people on the ESPN payroll who commented on the hire were very positive and sugar-coated Sampson's NCAA violations. Even the ESPN-Radio guy from Indiana said everyone was happy. The only two people not on ESPN's payroll who commented on the situation that day was an Indiana newspaper writer and Gregg Doyel of CBS Sportsline.com. The newspaper writer said no one was particularly excited. Gregg Doyel was very open about his thoughts, pointing out Kelvin Sampson's violations and shortcomings. His truthfulness surprised the ESPN-News drone who was visibly surprised/shocked to hear what he just heard.
