Summary

What a mess for Rachel Nichol's of ESPN. The host of The Jump on ESPN gave a lame apology with her co-hosts Kendrick Perkins and Richard Jefferson on Monday for comments made last summer as reported by the New York Times. Yesterday before Game 1 of the NBA Finals she was removed from her sideline reporting duties. ESPN said it wanted to keep the focus on the NBA Finals. What a joke!
