Monday's column featured a crisply worded rant about how TV executives are dumbing down sportscasts, followed by this criticism of an appearance by Jay-Z, Inc.:

As long as the Nets' part-owner and new Budweiser spokesman, Jay-Z, stopped by ESPN's MNF booth, last week (Ronde Barber needed a break), we were hoping Mike Tirico, Joe Theismann and Tony Kornheiser would ask him about his fame and fortune being in large part predicated on lyrics that refer to women as "bitches" and "hos," gays as "faggots" and black men as "niggaz."

Or would that have been rude?
