Can someone verify this please..

I heard that a writer for ESPN was suspended or fired because he helped Mike Leach with his book. Bruce Feldman, I think is his name.

Don't know if this is true, was hoping someone knew a little more!

Well, that suspension levied on Bruce Feldman for co-authoring Mike Leach's book, Swing Your Sword, didn't last long. In fact, if you ask ESPN, it didn't happen at all. ESPN announced in a statement this afternoon that Feldman had been returned to his normal duties with the company, ending a 20-hour controversy over Feldman's treatment and involvement with the book. Here's ESPN's statement in full:

"There was never any suspension or any other form of disciplinary action. We took the time to review his upcoming work assignments in light of the book to which he contributed and will manage any conflicts or other issues as needed. * Bruce has resumed his assignments."
