Hate this guy already, but I'll wait and see if ESPN will officially correct the Mortenson bunk.

Incredibly punchable face

That guy right there.. yea him... yea, **** that guy.

He looks like a cross between Ben Stiller, the "cute" kid from Jerry Maguire, and a learning disabled monkey.

Christ...

Pretty clear...the BSPN agenda now, even to the idiots who have refused to see it.

Are you fu.cking serious? You've got to be kidding me. Is this even a real tweet?

 

[Deus Irae]

At least ESPN has dropped the charade.

He is feeling some heat. Send him the MIT prof presentation. http://people.csail.mit.edu/jleonard/20150926_deflategate_for_2.05_thermo.pdf Sometime people who feel heat act to try and disprove their accusers. (I know I'm dreaming)

Breaking news: Lifelong #Jets fan does not like #Patriots. Has zero to do with judging the journalism produced about them. That's the job.

This (fan doesn't equal too biased), at least, can be argued in his favor. Unfortunately for him, the whole "just got here and am already ****ting on the Patriots" thing already demonstrates that his judgment is suspect at best, and non-existent at worst. And having good judgment is part of being an ombudsman.

He should be fired immediately. Instead, he'll probably get a raise.

Personal bias is fine because ESPN has been a bastion of objective, self-critical analysis and proud guardian of freedom of speech. Just ask Simmons, or Reiss...

The decision to call Goodell "a liar" during that podcast led ESPN to suspend Simmons for three weeks and caused a well-documented fallout between him and the company.

At some point, two of the seven takeaways were taken away by ESPN.
Here’s what ESPN had to say about the changes: “[T]he story was given a tighter edit after its initial posting.”

I think the next natural step is the NFL Offices.

This certainly has to help Brady in a defamation lawsuit.

How long before there's a picture of Kraft hugging him?
