Deadspin tools on Florio, who is still a douche

Florio - Letterman operated under the premise that the entire situation is a joke,

Well, considering Florio is an even bigger joke he should have been able to relate to it.

lmao never change Florio.

You can't help but marvel at the idea of someone like Mike Florio chastising a professional comedian for acting like a comedian instead of a half-deranged, scandal-humping football reporter.

Gotta hand it to Florio, he somehow crafted a lucrative career out of being an internet troll.

He's a slimy little turd, but he's a financially comfortable turd.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Florio:

So, today, Steeler Mike reams Letterman for making a joke:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...lategate-nonsense-during-belichick-interview/

".....“But there was only only one football that was deflated by two pounds,” Letterman said. “The others were deflated by what you would expect being outdoors.”

Those facts still haven’t been established with certainty, and they won’t be until the investigation by Ted Wells ends. But it was part of the broader “this is all a load of crap” narrative that Letterman opted to push."

Good for you, Steeler Mike! Even though Letterman is a comedian, he should be held to the level of a serious journalist. That is very careful journalism and Letterman should not do what others do, you know, "others" like.....ummmmm.....Steeler Mike?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-properly-checked-before-colts-patriots-game/

".....Which is when the NFL determined that 11 of the 12 balls were below two pounds below the mandatory minimum PSI of 12.5."

Woah!!! Steeler Mike!!!!! What happened??????

Great writing by this kid; gave me a laugh! Guys, Florio doesn't hate the Patriots; he loves that he has so many readers (and therefore revenue) who love to hate the Patriots. I don't even think his bias comparable to a lot of idiots out there who intentionally distort facts because they do hate the Patriots. Florio just loves scandals and ratings, and frankly, he is a master of keeping them juicy.

"Those facts still haven’t been established with certainty," - lack of facts didn't seem to stop any of the frenzy that first week....


"scandal-humping football reporter" was a nice turn of phrase

Some of these people tuned in to a comedy show thinking they were going to see investigative journalism only to be shocked when it turns out to be a comedy show....Losers

Letterman is a Colts fan.
Letterman has ragged on the Pats bigtime in the past.
Letterman is on his way out anyways so doesn't have to worry about burning bridges.

Everything was pointing towards this being Letterman going off script and giving Pats haters a moment right out of the movie Network.

That's why they're mad that he gave Belichick a soft ball interview.

This was amazing lol

Unlike some, he's wise enough to know that poking the Belichick is not a good idea.

@Deadspin . . . Sometimes, your desire to be Internet Tough Guy when it comes to policing the media gets in the way of common sense.

That was a real Tweet, folks. Mike Florio chiding someone else for (in his mind) lacking common sense.

Give it up, Florio. There would be some debate as to whether Belichick would speak to the CIA about a league investigation or anything involving team shenanigans. Was there another person in the US who expected Letterman to go Jim Gray on Belichick during his light-hearted comedy show?

I'm just gonna add him to my "never click" list.

Here is my vote for the best sentence in journalism this year.

In the absence of any semblance of journalistic integrity, Florio has now become the story instead of writing the story.. it happens often among many media scribes.

It is his effort to appeal to the masses and his social media followers.... find a crack in BB's armor...

Slowly read Florio's tweet word-for-word.........

Curious. Isn't that exactly what FLORIO was doing on the internet in criticizing Letterman's interview?

Hypocrisy much?

I found this on some random search. Florio got into a Twitter fight with the JAX mascot, and got owned. Florio wrote that JAX new video board is too big for their stadium and the stadium is only 300 feet- which is wrong.

Jaguars announce stadium enhancements, including new video boards and removal of 7,000 seats http://wp.me/p14QSB-9clB

@ProFootballTalk: Jaguars announce stadium enhancements, http://wp.me/p14QSB-9clB” YOU'RE AN IDIOT FLORIO! The field is 360 feet long #moron

Jaxson Deville
Props to @ProFootballTalk for Capitalizing on people's lack of desire to Google search the web themselves for articles about their team.

@JaxsonDeVille . . . Props to you for finding a mild upgrade from your gig as Eric the Clown.

We're both seen as clowns but I can take my suit off!

And the winner is:

....and now Florio is going all Pete Carroll chatty in trying to explain himself:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-may-have-inadvertently-made-news-last-night/

".....First, a little clarity about my opinions on the situation. Even though Letterman is a comedian, he hosts a talk show. Which is premised on guests talking. Typically about issues currently relevant to them.

Indeed, Letterman and Belichick talked about #DeflateGate. But Letterman’s comments and questions flowed from the idea that it’s all nonsense, a dead issue that never should have been an issue, and/or an outright fabrication hatched by the NFL team that plays in Letterman’s home state. This overlooks the fact that the NFL currently is investigating whether the Patriots tampered with the footballs....."

Keep diggin' that hole, Steeler Mike. Maybe you and Coach Carroll could go on a "Let Me Explain Myself" Tour with Dr. Phil..
