Default Herald becomes National Enquirer (Wiggins childhood friend of Ekasala)

This is my first post concerning the reporting of the Boston Herald. I was just searching the net and ran across Truth and Rumors on CNN Sports. The headline for NFL: Another Patriot Linked To Alleged Dealer.
When I read the title my first reaction was Oh *****. Then I read the article. The jist was a former Patriot, Jermain Wiggins was a childhood friend of the dealer.
Wow, I am stunned, WTF? Then I remembered CNN always prints its sources, again, WTF?

Didn't they both grow up in Eastie???? He also worked as a legislative aide from Eastie... If you grow up in a close knit neighborhood, you are going to know some people who might be a bit unsavory.....we all do....
Wiggins hasn't played for the Pats since '02 ( 01?) This is a reallllllllly long stretch to pin some more ***** to the wall.....

Herald becomes National Enquirer? People were saying that about the Herald back in the 1980s.

Chris

I didn't even think of it from the standpoint of Wiggins. The Herald just trashed a kid who made good (never heard anything bad about him). I hope Wiggins has a comment on this. What gets me is, the turmoil is not even over concerning the bad journalism of the Rams walk-thru, and they print something that appears to have no factual evidence and associate the player as a Patriot years after the fact. Am I missing something here?

So what's next ... Tom Brady linked to Charles Manson via a common gene dating back 100,000 years in Kenya?

The Herald is a trashy raf...really..Wiggins hasn't played for the team in 7 years and??? Do I hate that garbage..forget about liar Tomasse..the paper itself has no credibility...NONE!!!!
But then one must remember that today's Herald is a joint effort of the Herald-Traveler merger with the incredible trashy Record American...38 years out..it is showing its just a step above the Wretched American.
