Vasgersian seems to be on a long leash--NY Post

(NY Post): "How many more strikes does Matt Vasgersian get?

• Last week, MLB Network's lead anchor apologized on the air the day after he exploited footage of injured Rockies OF Brad Hawpe to force up a gag so stupid that the analysts on the set, Billy Ripken and Mitch Williams, immediately told him so.

Shortly after MLBN debuted, Vasgersian was seen/heard dropping the F-bomb when the wrong tape aired. He's not the first to learn the hard way that pros never say anything into a microphone that they don't want heard.

• As a smarmy Fox Sports Net game-show host, Vasgersian did his part to infuse the program with vulgarities and sexual innuendo.

• And as the first XFL on NBC play-by-player, he was plenty vulgar, though not enough to suit Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol, who had him replaced.

And though Vasgersian, indiscriminate wise guy, will swing at anything, he keeps fouling 'em off, getting a piece, just enough to hang in there."...from Phil Mushnick's column, "ESPN's Cute Ad Raises Serious Questions"
