She may be beautiful of face, but she's vile and black of heart.

Quote:
ESPN suspended reporter Britt McHenry for one week, hours after a video surfaced of the reporter dressing down a towing-lot attendant in brutally ugly fashion.
“I’m in the news, sweetheart, I will f—–g sue this place,” McHenry, a Washington-based reporter, says as the video opens.
McHenry vented about getting her car towed in a since-deleted tweet (as caught and saved by ARL Now) on April 6, and that was the cause of her frustration.
She apologized for the blowup on Thursday evening after the video went viral.

She'd be perfect for Fox News!

I watched the video and it was really an U-G-L-Y tirade, worst one I've seen in a long while.   The poor girl at the receiving end was pretty smart after all.   The video ended up going viral and she got her revenge.

The reporter only got 1 week suspension although her tirade included a bit about why she works for TV and the clerk does not.   That comment did not put ESPN in good light.

I've been following her on Twitter. Never seemed like a mean person. Obviously what she does in public and private are very different.

ESPN was obviously quick to take action here, and I don't know how this reporter can ever be seen in a positive light for those that end up reading about or seeing the video.. Her good looks will fade, so I hope she can work on changing her distorted view of those that aren't as fortunate as she is in terms of looks and fame.

Low blow. Can't defend that behavior cuz the lady she abused isn't responsible but that towing company is vile in its own right. Lots of lawsuits against them for grabbing cars they shouldn't and charging exorbitant fees to get them out.

What has been interesting about this story is how people are reacting that this towing company that she had the tirade against has an extremely poor customer service record. Some people have said they have been frustrated by them also.

It doesn't justify the personal comments, but it is funny how now people are coming to her defense a little now.

The personal attack wasn't warranted, but I'd be pretty angry if my car was towed without reason too.

    • Hello Everyone, I am moving to a new house and first thought... let's have a room for indoor golf practice! I know many of you love to record your swings, but indoor there is always the issue of the blurred clubhead at impact due to the poor lighting compared to practicing in the sunlight. Has anyone figured out a combo of camera and indoor lighting to get good results at 240fps,  720p?  
    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost.
