Tejada on E:60

ESPN engaged in shoddy, sensationalistic so-called journalism. I won’t reward it with my viewership. Lying in order to out a “liar,” is that ironic or what? And I don’t really care about his age. That is no more my concern than if he lied to his wife. This is an issue between him and his employers. It didn’t affect the fans or hurt the game. And if ESPN is so concerned about misrepresenting age, why not talk about the large number of other players from the carribean who have done the same or who have yet to admit their correct age. The ESPN analysts used to joke about it with respect to other players. It was a laughing matter to them, rather than a serious issue.

is that you don’t ask a guy to talk about his background and then spring this on him with the cameras rolling. If you want to ask about his age, do it beforehand so he knows its coming.

That ambush tactic should really hurt them trying to get someone else to do any sort of interview for E:60.
