After writing a fairly brilliant post, I was wondering why you would sully it, but throwing Hank Phillipe-Ryan, and Bob Lobel under the bus. Both were 2 very good reporters in their respective fields (Ryan in investigative reporting and Lobel, of course,. in Sports. I sorta got your point, but you used the wrong examples to make you point. If Phillipe-Ryan and replaced Naqui, you wouldn't have had such a sloppy incomplete, and speculative report. Just saying.
BTW- its 9pm and at least on their web sites, ESPN has not added anything to their late night notation that reported simply that there is a source who says an NFL official gave a ball to McNally. The NFL.com page has yet to mention the OTL story OR the revelations that have followed. (and nothing more from PFT)
One thing for certain it's hard to figure who comes out looking worse in all this, the league office, or ESPN. Right now it looks like both are taking the approach to pretend it didn't happen and hope the Combine and the NBA trade deadline shift the focus and the public gets tired of trying to figure out what the F is going on.
I was trying to frame her as cross between an investigative journalism/paparazzi/sports newsperson.
Hank is solid. Coulda used Brian Williams..lol
