Some of what you might have missed from around ESPN this weekend:

Not shocked that @franfraschilla handled an extremely difficult circumstance with pure class. That is who he is as a person and commentator.
— Matt Shoultz (@mjshoultz) August 2, 2014
The Paul George injury was handled with great thoughtfulness by ESPN, from Jones/Fraschilla to director/producer. Well done to all.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) August 2, 2014
Want to publicly commend ESPN producer Brett Wilensky & director @roigrage. They worked game w. Paul George injury. Fine, respectful work.
