Ok, let me get this correct.

Going on a witch hunt for a coach of your local team's heated rival and be allowed to be used as a PR spokepiece/pawn of a US Senator who is trying to use rumors and allegations and misuse of his Congressional powers to reverse his favorite's football team's loss of a Super Bowl and get his largest campaign donor access to the NFL Network at a reasonable price is ok, but banning reporters from a newspaper who showed images of one of their own on-air reporters naked filmed without her consent or knowledge is just plain wrong.

The NY Times has no right to question anyone's journalistic ethics. They have a long history of yellow journalism and in the past year have had several high profile cases of that whether it be about Belichick or John McCain.

He hasn't cost them anything that he didn't provide in the first place.

I agree that it wasn't a good decision, or a moral choice, but that's completely irrelevant and beside the point. Clearly, the guy doesn't share my moral code, and I that's not exactly news. What it comes down to is that on his first night as a free man, he chose to do partake in a legal form of entertainment.

And he also chose to partake in it with a guy who's from the same hometown as him, who's also freakishly talented but never maximized his gifts, who quarterbacked at the same high school that he did, and who has also seen his stock fall drastically in the last couple of years. Maybe he wanted to be around someone who would understand that dynamic, and Iverson was the clearly best choice?

People around here really need to stop being outraged that athletes aren't always fine, upstanding family men.

Oops! Sorry about that. I got a little thing about the Times if you can't tell.

BradyFTW!

Hahaha no worries, I made the same mistake the first few times through this thread before I caught it, and the point that you were trying to make re: the Times goes doubly so for the Post anyways. Neither outlet is in a position to be questioning anyone else's credibility, although in this case I think they're both right.

ESPN essentially outed the Erin Andrews tape, which was either colossally stupid or a calculating move. I'm going to go with the latter. It was tasteless and unwarranted for NYP to post pictures from the tape. They both belong in the gutter, and the fact that they're slinging mud at each other over who sucks more just makes it all even funnier.

I disagree with that. I think AI has gotten more out of his body then 99.999% of athletes.

There is another thread about it, but FYI the Vick to a strip club story is denied by Vick.
