Basically Kevin Blackistone, Woody Paige and Tim Cowlishaw just said everything that's been said here:

1)the apology made it worse, he basically said there were no actual verifiable sources

2) It's the editors fault mostly for letting it run

3) The allegation was so damaging they can't accept the apology and neither should the readers

4) the timing was questionable

I hate Around the Horn but I thought it was interesting that even fellow "journalists" are ripping Tomase. He really needs to go.

Now Dan Lebatard and Wilbon on PTI are saying that Tomase and the editor should be fired.

Disco Volante

Dan Lebatard confirmed that Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said Tomase and the editor should be fired.

Really? Right on, Van Gundy. I don't think there's a single head coach in any sport who doesn't feel the same way (maybe Dungy, but that's only 'cause Tomase was writing about the Patriots).

I don't like Dungy and that's because he [was] the head coach of the Colts. Period. End of question. The degree to which I like a player or coach is predicated solely on the color of the laundry they wear on Sunday. When fans admit this and stop bashing players and coaches for any other reason, the world of sports will be infinitely improved.

Van Gundy is a great interview. He's on w/ Lebatard all the time down here and is always very thoughtful and forthright.

The guy made up a story, I don't see how he doesn't get fired. HE MADE IT UP.

Weren't they just ripping the Pats a couple of days ago? I hate that show with a passion and hated it before the Spygate episode. Even if they were worshipping a statue of BB, I would not watch.

Even his fellow Herald columnist Howie Carr said they gave him enough rope and he hung himself with it.

In other news the sky is blue and water is wet.

Anyone who doesn't realize that Tomase and the editor deserve punishment in some way are either biased or blithering idiots. I don't know how anyone can justify them recieving no punishemnt.
