Jon Friedman highlights some of ESPN's biggest recent faux pas, which include the website headline "Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim" and reporter Bonnie Bernstein talking about Palestine's suicide bombers on a morning sports radio show. Friedman blames the missteps on the network trying to be too controversial. Indeed. That current ESPN The Magazine story on the last days of Yankees Stadium. Tres risqué!

But when it comes to sports media controversy, isn't the Golf Channel the one that's really got the crossing-the-line problem? Huh. Where was Friedman on that?
