ESPN apologizes to SEC commissioner for Carville's on-air criticism

ESPN issued an on-air apology to Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey after political commentator and LSU fan James Carville accused the league of favoring Alabama during "College GameDay."

LSU was the site Saturday morning of "GameDay" with No. 1 Alabama playing the fourth-ranked Tigers in Baton Rouge at night.

Carville — echoing the sentiment of many Tigers — complained about the first-half suspension of LSU star linebacker Devin White, who was called for targeting in the second half of the Tigers' last game. Carville also wore a sweat shirt with "Greg Sankey (heart) Alabama" printed on it.
