Demanding their detractors prove a negative is the conspiracy theorists' M.O.

But he also can't just make crap up, the Pats could sue him for libel or slander...err...one of those two, not sure which...I guess I didn't pay attention in the "You and the Law" class I took in 10th grade.

My impression of Easterbrook (granted I haven't read single article by him in years, I just got the impression of their contents from other posters here): Easterbrook is a pretentious cook. He began with an interesting schtick which had the life expectancy of pumpkin pie in #75's refrigerator. Nobody reads him, he's hanging on to his ESPN gig by his fingernails. He's screeching loudly just to survive.

Felger is pot smoking, dullwitted ditz, the type whose cloudy brain sends out conspiracy theories like so many smoke signals. I stopped listening to him last spring when he began railing against Randy Moss like a closet bigot.

Stop referencing them, citing them, and loonie tunes like Felger and Easterbrook, who should never have got into sports reporting to begin with, will wither and die in obscurity.

IMO sports reporting is best done by salt of the earth types with their feet on the ground, who have seen life's ugliness but still treasure the pure joy of athletics as a little glimpse of god. I get the feeling Easterbrook and Felger do not belong in that group, and never will.

I believe it might've been you who pointed out that the Super Bowl "walkthroughs" are pretty unimportant and that pretty much anyone can show up to those, like Snoop Dogg. Which is besides the point, I think the guy is full of shyt. If there was something damning on those tapes, Goodell would've punished us further, he's shown he could care less about how people view the Patriots, if anything, he was happy to take us down a peg.
He's actually a REAL writer, not an ESPN douchebag

LOL, yeah, I've since read about him, notice two posts down I post the same wiki...Apparently he's also a REAL anti-semite and has some REAL messed up viewpoints. Sounds like a GREAT writer...

Why didn't Felger take this idiot to task with his crap? Usually he does. Second of Goodell has info other teams video taped teams, he has to take the picks away.
LOL!!!
"can't video walkthroughs because of NFL security"

pause, next breath,

"as a matter of fact, Belichek moved the Pats practice because he didn't think security was strong enough"


Are you seeing the irony here?

Well, at least he does have thoughts and viewpoints. Priscoe, Pascarelli, those guys are hacks. Easterbrook may be wacko to you, but that doesn't necessarily make it so.

Bottom line again with you folks is, if it's anti patriot, it's sacreligious. It seems impossible to get much of an objective point of view from this area of the world.

Isn't Felger Jewish? I'm surprised he'd invite a noted anti-Semite like Easterbrook to appear on his show... wait, no I'm not. Felger, like Easterbrook, is a sensationalist with all kinds of conspiracy theories.

Which is why he cleverly couches his accusations with the words "I have heard that.......".

It's a very common legal technique.

Well said Pony! Easterbrook has achieved exactly what he was looking for by writing such drivel, futher exposure on talk radio. Lucky me, I've banned ESPN until they clean up their act.
