ESPN has some explaining to do.

The 2024 Sugar Bowl has been postponed one day in the wake of the truck-ramming attack early Wednesday morning on Bourbon Street that left at least 15 dead and many more seriously injured.

The suspect, who has since been identified, was killed after allegedly opening fire on police officers with an assault rifle.

The FBI is investigating the attack as an “act of terrorism.”

ESPN has a different description for the terrible event.

Mike Greenberg was on call for the Rose Bowl pregame when he announced to fans that the Sugar Bowl was being postponed.

“This is a day that had been highly anticipated in this 12-team playoff era. A day in which three college football playoff quarterfinals were scheduled,” Green said.

“But after the horrific act of violence in the early morning hours in New Orleans. A pickup truck driving into a crowd of people.”

Instead, they have described it as an “act of violence” involving “a pickup truck driving into a crowd of people.”

That last part really upset a lot of people.

Many people began to blast ESPN for not describing it as an act of terrorism.

“ESPN gonna ESPN,” one fan said.

“They’re a joke,” another fan added.

“It’s a pathetic liberal network. Why is anyone surprised?” a third fan added.

A fourth fan gave the network some credit: “During the Texas and Arizona State game, I did hear them refer to it as a terrorist attack, for what it’s worth.”

“Yeah, what’s with all these goofy euphemisms? Just call it what it was. F–king soft reporting,” an irate fan stated.

One final fan concluded, “Sadly, it’s all about ratings and money. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

ESPN Catches Backlash Over New Orleans Terrorist Attack Headline

The Worldwide Leader In Sports has been getting blasted all Wednesday over their reporting of the terror attack in New Orleans.

By now, you’ve seen that a 42-year-old man drove his truck in a crowd of people on Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day and, killed as many as 15 people, and sent dozens more to the hospital.

The man, who has since been identified, was reportedly killed by police after he jumped out of his truck and began firing a weapon.

ESPN was like many outlets that reported on it since the event affected the Sugar Bowl, which was going to be played about a mile away at the Caesars Superdome.

REPORT: Someone Leaked Former NBA Champion Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis’ Prison Meal Menu, And It Looks Like He Threw His Diet Plans Out The Window

In October, authorities convicted former NBA player Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis of defrauding the NBA’s health care benefits plan and began his 40-month sentence at FPC Duluth in Minnesota. They sentenced him alongside 21 others, including former players like Terrence Williams, even though Davis has consistently claimed he’s innocent. Before heading to prison, he talked about using his time behind bars to focus on fitness and work on transforming his body. But, the reality of prison food has made that goal a little harder to reach.

TMZ Sports got a hold of the menu for Davis’ first few weeks in prison, and it’s safe to say it’s not exactly bodybuilder-friendly. His meals were packed with carbs—pizza, lasagna, tacos, and alfredo made up his first week’s dinners. The next week wasn’t much better, but it did include some slightly healthier options like turkey, steak, and roast beef. However, breakfast and lunch had a few better choices, like fruit, oatmeal, and protein sandwiches. Even though the meals might not be ideal for his fitness goals, Davis is probably just trying to make the best of things.

Davis, who played eight seasons for the Celtics, Clippers, and Magic, averaged 8.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 514 regular-season games. He won one NBA championship, helping the Boston Celtics claim the title in 2008. While his fraud conviction has definitely thrown a wrench in his plans, Davis seems determined to make the most of his time in prison. Before his sentencing, he said, “When I lost basketball, I lost myself,” showing he’s ready to rebuild.

Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis Remains Focused On His Future Despite 3.5 Years Prison Sentence

Even with everything going on, Davis is staying positive. Before going to prison, he posted a tearful video to his 118K Instagram followers, giving them a peace sign and saying, “I love y’all… Be good!” This emotional farewell showed his resolve to face the future head-on. Judge Valerie E. Caproni gave him a temporary break to finish a documentary about his life, and the project could generate money to pay his $80,000 restitution.

Despite the difficult road ahead, many in the NBA, including the likes of former NBA All-Star Andre Iguodala, have supported Davis by writing a letter asking the judge for leniency during sentencing. Things might be difficult for Davis, but his commitment to turning his life around is clear. Whether or not he’ll be able to hit his fitness goals in prison is still up in the air, but his determination to rebuild is obvious.
