ESPN’s Deadspin-inspired anti-leak memo leaked to . . . Deadspin

On Monday, Deadspin reported that ESPN President George Bodenheimer had issued a memo expressing "disgust" with company leaks that were enabling "destructive" and "unwanted" publicity, saying in the memo that the offending party could face "immediate termination." The memo, which came in the wake of last week’s Deadspin-ESPN controversy, was then leaked to . . . Deadspin. "ESPN is clearly one of the most dynamic companies in the world and we take great pride in our work," Bodenheimer writes. "Our success often leads to media stories about our business and people. Those stories are often very positive, but not always." Deadspin ran the memo with little commentary.
