Longtime ESPN announcer Ron Franklin and sideline reporter Jeannine Edwards probably won't be sharing the airwaves again anytime soon.
The sports network pulled Franklin from the Jan. 1 Saturday Fiesta Bowl radio broadcast after directing a sexist remark at his colleague.
Sports by Brooks reports that Franklin and Edwards were joined in a production meeting by fellow ESPN announcers Ed Cunningham and Rod Gilmore. When the subject of Gilmore's wife being elected as Alameda, CA mayor was brought up, things got ugly.
Edwards, the token female of the group, chimed in to the conversation and Franklin replied in kind with: "Why don't you leave this to the boys, sweetcakes."
Remaining calm, she responded "don't call me sweetcakes, I don't like being talked to like that."
Franklin's answer? "Okay then, a-hole." What a classy dude.
