Did anyone here post on the old ESPN Patriots board? I ask because SOV sounds a little like the NewEnglandInsider poster. NewEnglandInsider showed up in the late spring or maybe summer of 2008 and made a bunch of authoritative statements about the inner workings of the team; things like how much the team like Mayo and how team management disliked Matt Walsh. It sounded good and was presented in a convincing manner, but some posters (not me) were sharp enough to notice that NEInsider wasn't saying anything that wasn't already public info. For example, he didn't say anything about the team targeting Mayo before the draft and the team being unhappy about a former employee who said negative things about him wasn't a surprising leap in logic. He only made 2 or 3 posts, but enough people had caught onto NEInsider's act and he disappeared.
The situations are different, but I kind of feel the same way about the SOV tweets. I'd like his predictions on this matter to be true, but he really hasn't shown that he has any inside information. SOV wasn't first in mentioning Kensil and we probably won't know until the Wells report comes out if his other statements are accurate. If would be great for Patriots fans if SOV is right and it would be a bonus for SOV's credibility if they're right, but I'm skeptical at this point.
Yep, I was a regular over there. I remember NEInsider. Wanted to believe he/she was legit. As you know that board was badly moderated and unreadable a lot of the time from trolls running wild and NEInsider's posts just seemed like an awful lot of effort if he or she just wanted to post for kicks.
FWIW I do remember NEInsider was the first to mention a "cheerleader tape" and this was not public info yet....
I guess we'll see how right SOV is....
