And it looks like Jeremy Shockey may have some more evidence against Warren Sapp...
Yes, it was a member of the Saints staff (allegedly), but it wasn't a player...
Lee Zurik did the handiwork...
Now, the larger questions...
Yes, the HQ gets that whoever went to John Barr had an axe to grind...
If this is the source, what can be taken from this...???
Isn't the statute of limitations gone...???
How much credence is there in the source, if any...???
And what can the Shield do about it since there may be no evidence left over...???
Jus' axin...
And what happens to the guy who didn't follow up on the allegations of his source or the credibility of his source? Posting a story and damning a team without any substantial evidence - and apparently from a source that was holding a grudge - is unprofessional. Shouldn't that be a storyline? IMHO.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the implications to ESPN. We along with several other blogs did mention and question ESPN's motivation for the way they did this story, relying solely on "Unnamed" sources. That is a HUGE risk as a reporter to do that. It isn't to say whether they are right or wrong for doing it, though we'll add, it is going to be virtually impossible to prove.
ReplyDeleteIf not proven to be true, they (ESPN) should pay a hefty price for it. Though they probably won't.
