Can we start our own unsubstantiated rumors

[Marko]

Like, I have a source that won't say for sure but hints at the fact that ESPN's Boardmembers might have heavily bet on the Giants in tomorrow's super bowl, and are posibly trying to affect the outcome. An unnamed bookie who now lives in Thailand has stated that he might be willing to give information that he might have that maybe ESPN and possibly Arlen Specter might possibly be involved w/organized crime in a possible attempt to maybe affect the outcome of the SuperBowl. This source says he fears for his family but if the price is right they can fend for themselves.

Easterbrook and Tomase paid off Walsh to voice these rumors.

Speaking of Easterbrook he just posted his new article. Have to love this gem:

"Also Saturday, Mike Fish reported on ESPN that St. Louis' walk-through was devoted to red-zone plays -- all new plays and new formations the Rams had not shown during the season. Going into that Super Bowl, the Rams' "Greatest Show on Turf" was the league's highest-scoring team. In that game, St. Louis was held to a field goal in the first half. When the Rams reached the red zone, they bogged down, as if New England knew what plays were coming. If the Patriots secretly taped the Rams' walk-through, then stopped the red-zone plays the Rams showed in that walk-through, then won that Super Bowl by three points, then logic says New England materially benefited from cheating in the Super Bowl. If true, this would be the worst sports scandal since the Black Sox."

Of course being fine objective journalist that he is he must have forgotten to mention the fact that Rams only entered the red zone once in that game and they scored a touchdown!!
I don't know what pisses me off more, journalists trying to make something out of nothing or the fact that there are plenty of people out there who just accept this stuff without even giving it a minute of critical thought.

I don't know why everyone is so upset? The Players are NOT going to let any of this BS bother them..
Who really cares?? NO ONE

Point is even a high school journalist wouldn't have gone with what Mike Tish had in his ESPN piece. Matt Walsh had som many qualifiers and cryptic comments in his statement that he really didn't say anything, and came off as anything but credible. The only concrete thing he said was that he could have done what Mangini did, everything else is couched in language that's evasive at best. Watch Tish in his ESPN video he even says I don't know what or if Matt Walsh has anything on the Pats. Any reporter that runs with vague threats of recrimination like that has to have an agenda! If i was the reporter I would have said something like " you expect me to write a story on the eve of the SB with vague threats about evidence you MIGHT HAVE! Give me something substantial or go to the National Enquirer."

I heard this, too. Please refer to me as "anonymous source".

How about: there's a team whose GM is the Competition Committee and implements rule changes to benefit his team; he also intimidates the officiating crews to call phantom penalties on opponents whilst overlooking obvious infractions committed by his team's players?

Furthermore, the team electronically enhances the crowd noise to negatively impact the visiting team and gain an unfair advantage for his defense and he has the environmental conditions in the building modified to more quickly tire said visiting team (conditions to which his own team is conditioned).

Any of these sound like plausible scenarios?





You're probably right - no one would believe it. Maybe I could sell it to Hollywood when the writers' strike is over!

Let it not be forgotten that Felger was consistently referred to as d-bag back in his WEEI days. I think he tried to laugh it off, hoping people would stop if he didn't show it bothered him... then, when he got married, his wife insisted that he put an end to the practice.

The practice would stop for the most part but every once in a while someone would sneak the word in at him.

This requires a full investigation and endless analysis and commentary.
