"Kraft Foods" is the only thing that needs to be known about Volin IMHO. The 'error' was so egregious that either it wasn't just an honest mistake or his competence level is so meager that he must be employed in his current position for reasons other than being a qualified candidate.
Since it is far more likely than not that the Internet makes these kind of mistakes virtually impossible, Volin obviously hyper-eagerly jumped at any chance whatsoever to impugn the Patriots/Brady.
Which, far more likely than not, means he is nothing but another hack. His core job responsibility is find a way to push a story angle by any means possible. And while it's likely the rag (another one I avoid as much as possible) he works for assigned him this specific responsibility, maintaining a minimal standard of accuracy/fact checking is still required.
Other than links provided here at patsfan, I don't read Volin 'stories' and I don't know why anyone would. If you are that much in need of a hack job story, Borges and a few others are much more experienced and competent at it. Volin is redundant for an area that is nauseatingly redundant already.
