Pardon the Interruption

Smith only continued to grow as a media figure in sports. After 16 years, Smith moved on from his career at the Inquirer in 2010 and expanded in his work with ESPN (Duckworth, 2016). Beginning in 2011, Smith hosted a weekday local show in that ran for two hours on New York’s ESPN Radio 98.7FM; Smith’s show lasted until 2014 (Duckworth, 2016). What also began in 2011 was another one of Smith’s local shows on ESPN but this one was on Los Angeles’ ESPN 710AM, meaning he covered sports on both sides of the nation (Duckworth, 2016). During this time, he did not host but he also appeared regularly on other ESPN shows such as SportsCenter, ESPNEWS, First Take on ESPN2 (Duckworth, 2016). However, Smith did appear as a guest host on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption and Jim Rome is Burning (Duckworth, 2016). Despite the progress and success he’s had, Smith’s unique, loud style of expression didn’t just receive positive reinforcement from others. NBA commissioner David Stern wasn’t always fond of Smith’s behavior. Early on, Stern was under the impression that Smith was always yelling in his expression, even when it wasn’t necessary (Pruett, 2013). In fact, ESPN chose not to resign Smith and Stern’s sightful eye on Smith and his on-screen behavior played a big role on ESPN’s decision (Pruett, 2013). As seen earlier, this inconvenient series of events did not stop Smith as he began hosting his own shows which led to new opportunities later. On ESPN2’s First Take, Smith was regularly…

investigation I will be discussing the controversial question regarding Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon. I will start by explaining the events that led to Nixon’s pardoning, which is his suspected involvement in the Watergate Scandal. Then I will discuss the actual pardon and what Ford’s speech said. Lastly, I will explain how the pardon protected the Presidency and stopped tension from arising in the United States. The method I will use to prove if the pardon was right or not is by…

He is faced with the huge decision of deciding to pardon the former president or not. In President Gerald Ford's mind, he saw the best course of action to take was to pardon Nixon for his involvement in the Watergate Scandal in order to easy tensions about it and put it behind us. "Ford justified this decision by claiming that a long, drawn-out trial would only have further polarized the public."(A&E Television Group) While this seemed like the best course of action to take, it did not sit well…

The U.S specifically has dependably been vigorously needy upon exports. The main objective of any organization 's export endeavors is generally to expand benefits by exploiting opportunities in outside business sectors that does not exist in the local business sector (p.8). Exporters could normally accomplish quicker deals development and higher net revenues. Remote markets regularly give help from developing household markets, as well as increasing rivalry from imports. Furthermore, as…

In the early 1970’s there was a break in at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters, which came to be known as the Watergate break-ins. Upon Investigation It was found that top white house officials, the CIA, FBI and even the president at the time Richard Nixon was involved in trying to cover it up. This led to Richard Nixon resigning which in my opinion was to save face from the impeachment that was coming his way. In the upcoming paragraphs I will be summarizing and examining two…

and principles found in the Word of God, and being consistent with those principles that they teach” (M.Moore, et. Al, 2003). Readings state that Nixon knew about the Watergate Espionage operation before it happened but he tried to cover it up, raising “hush money” for burglars, and in a persistent effort to stop the FBI from investigating the crime. Was it biblical to pardon him? Was it ethical? “All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rms 3:23). We may have tried to…

He had tried to edit and refuse to give in tape recordings in order to cover up his connection. I feel that Nixon could have been charged with obstruction of justice when he refrained from complying with the proper procedures when being questioned and asked for the recordings. I also believe he should have been charged with being an accessory to a burglary. I believe President Nixon resigned from office because he knew that he was going to be impeached and probably have to do some time in…

Anonymous said “The word ‘forgive’ means to wipe the slate clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt, when we wrong someone, we seek their forgiveness in order for the relationship to be restored. Forgiveness is not granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is an act of love, mercy and grace. Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person, despite what they have done to you” (Anonymous.1). Sin is an immoral act committed by a person against the divine law.…

the House impeached him, the Senate would convict him. On August 8, 1974, with no alternative left, Nixon announced he would resign. The vice president, Gerald Ford, assumed the presidency the next day. The new president faced many difficulties. Besides having to handle the continuing legal and political concerns surrounding Richard Nixon, domestic and international challenges thrived. In a surprise announcement made to the nation on September 8, Ford granted the former president a “full,…

(Hamilton). As the new president, John Ford, was going through his interviews, the topic of the Watergate scandal was constantly being brought up, that was the topic of every discussion. Ford hoped to bring an end to the scandal and to the questioning, so on September 8th, 1974, he gave a full pardon to Nixon for all of his wrongdoings without full reasoning that Nixon wasn’t the one to devise the plan (Stachecki). American Citizens believed that Ford’s decision showed the strength of the…
