ESPN: Please do not piss off our advertisers, you will be buried...

ESPN has been caught by Deadspin yet again!

Mike Rodak wrote an article about the Buffalo Bills' Preston Brown, the leading tackler in the National Football League last season -- and the improvements he made to get there.

Sounds like a sensible story.

Brown told Rodak that one of the ways he did so was to take all the fast food he used to eat at Wendy's out of his diet.

Sensible, but it got the story buried and the headline changed!

Why?  You can guess it.  Wendy's is an ESPN sponsor, and we just can't have that!!!

A Facebook post, a reference to the Wendy's changes in the ESPN NFL Twitter, and all reference to the omission of Wendy's from his diet was removed from the article!
