COMMENTS: Missing the Mark
CBS likes to close its week with an inspirational feature invoking the American Spirit. This week Jeff Glor was assigned to file on the "special bond" between father and son. Glor landed quite a story, a jailhouse Exclusive with former New York Giants running back Mark Ingram, who is incarcerated awaiting sentencing for bank fraud and moneylaundering. Glor's angle was that Ingram's son, also a running back, also named Mark, is a frontrunner for this year's Heisman Trophy for his exploits for the University of Alabama.
It is a fine story of familial contrasts--a father's disgrace, a son's glory. What is has to do with embodying the American Spirit is a mystery.
