ESPN Hatchet Job - New England Patriots Forums

Anyone watching Cris Carter and Mark Craphead on Espn?

This is such a bunch of Bull.

Why don't they have at least one person that can rebutt what these
jerks are saying.

ESPN is continuing it's smear campaign agqaint the PATs.

I turned it of after the Saban miking up their players to get audibles was something he learned by being on the Belichick coaching tree. I am watching the NFL Network coverage now, a lot more impartial than those hacks.

Cris Carter will be on ESPN about long enough to have a cup of coffee. He's gonna make a great studio partner for Emmitt Smith.

Schlereth played for one of the better cheaters the game has seen. We need not worry about the opinions of these 2 guys. Given an opportunity to have quality debate with an intelligent, objective person defending the NE position, these 2 would be in big trouble.

Anyone think that ESPN would act any other way. They will still continue to maintain they used it during games eventhough there is no evidence of that. They will also do anything to keep this whole thing going for as long as they can.

Is it me, or are Carter and Schlereth confusing game film with signal stealing? They keep saying things like "New England could learn that every time they run a 2 TE set, the other team plays cover 2." Couldn't they do that with regular game film? What do signals have to do with that?

They seem prety objective to me.

They are just discussing the news of the day and all the nuances of the situation.

Chill, it will be mostly over soon.

They are speculating, and then, minutes later, treating their prior speculation as fact.

It is completely irresponsible journalism, although that is nothing new for ESPN.

These tapes are exactly like the Jets one that leaked back in September (except more shaky since Walsh was evidently a crappy photog). What on earth did you expect?

===================================

Well it was just my opinion, as a non Patriot.

Question, where do you go when you want responsible journalism? I find ESPN to be fairly consistent.
