Anybody watching Mort on ESPN now? - New England Patriots Forums

LOL - he's doing an interview, talking mildly about Spygate, not too much hostility, but I thought it was pretty funny that he has, prominently over his left shoulder, The Education Of A Coach (Halberstam). It's still Mort and he's a superdouche...maybe this was his retarded attempt to buy credibility as he *****s all over Belichick.

Had the exact same thought.

Yeah, I saw that too and thought the placement was a rather over-the-top obvious attempt to prove he's done his research and is unbiased. Funny thing is some fan of another team will pick that up and use it as 'proof' that Mortenson is a Pat fan and that's why he's saying the NFL is not going to penalize the Pats any further.

Why for all the ESPN has done and said the last year or so, you still watch that crap.

Not really, the whole point of ESPN these days is to infuriate people in New England into watching all their shows, and to agree with the opinion - ( wrong opinion) of most of the country, and discredit the pats.

All this leads to is higher ratings, and more money for ESPN. Don't watch.

They(ESPN) must have gotten the memo from management. Ryan. Lupica on Sports
Reporters wanting Specter to investigate. Rest of the country, saying time to move on.
ESPN just won't let it go. Time for Pats fans to move on too. NFL Network for TV.
Fox Radio if you want all-sports radio.

this is nothing new, i 've hated espn for 25 yrs. or more for their passive aggressive subliminal bashing of all sports boston. but i do like to monitor them because there are definitely battle lines being drawn and the better i know them the better i can defend against them.

kinda like how "The Professor" John Clayton sits in front of a backdrop that contains several leather-bound books.

Meanwhile hypocrite Dungy pleads Marvin Harrison's case, and no one on ESPN gets on him for that.

Hey, kids, you know you shouldn't cheat or steal signals like Bill Belichick. but shooting people is OK!!
