I can not believe how upset people are on this board because a boss decided to discipline his employee. What other job is this not allowed to happen in? Gee lighten up everyone.

Not too many bosses go on national television to discipline employees, especially not when those same employees work on national TV all the time. Even when a newscaster or someone like that screws up royal, a lot of the discipline happens behind closed doors, and then there's a little statement that is very non-harsh. I mean, even Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's bosses didn't call what happened during the Superbowl a "terrible thing" and apologize for their bad judgment and the seamstress who didn't knot her thread properly didn't even get named. So it does seem a little out of line for one call in one game with one bad (if it was so bad) decision to be publicly singled out and harshly impugned.
