     @BenVolin the tool you use to deliver a story should have no bearing on the level of veracity with which you confirm if the story is true

     @BenVolin there is actually a great article in this. The way that reporters using Twitter drove this whole deflategate story.

   @BenVolin @Odd_Hack I could be wrong, but I believe that's the Kraft food entity. Not Bob Kraft

ProjectRoto retweeted Ben Volin

@Odd_Hack @BenVolin kinda irresponsible for him to tweet that out and then follow up with this: https://twitter.com/benvolin/status/610147402771746817… #Journalism101

ProjectRoto added,

Ben Volin @BenVolin
Unclear if Kraft Foundation is related to Robert Kraft and family. Trying to find out

     @wsky_tango_fxt @Odd_Hack I'm still dumbfounded that he tweeted that and then followed up with "I'm still checking on that though"

     @wsky_tango_fxt @Odd_Hack essentially he's saying that the Kraft Group (not Patriot-related) was on the AEI board in 2006. HUGE scoop lol

Not just that, but lazy as well. 5 minutes on any search engine would have shown him that it wasn't ROBERT Kraft's group, but the Kraft Foods group.

Ben Volin is a frikkin retahd.

Sports journalists worse than ambulance chasers.

Thanks for pointing this out.....but......there's not much shock value here. It has been well known for more than a decade that print media can't afford to hire talent, the Volins of the world are the proof of that. Even when the industry was doing well, there was only the occasional gem in a sea of laziness and non-talent.

But... But... But... Cheatriots!

Funny, he doesn't seem to be in too much of a hurry to correct his idiotic blunder.

How did this intern actually get a paying job at a newspaper?

Volin is incompetent and lazy, so his biases shine through. But the lack of accountability for this shlock points to a complete lack of standards by the Boston Globe, no?

He was a hack writer for the Palm Beach Post, the third rate paper in South Florida. It is pathetic that the once great Globe is reduced to hiring Tomase level writers.

Wish I could get paid to "cover" pro sports by throwing accusations and bile out there. If that idiot can do it all of us should be able to.

I wouldn't work for what the Globe is probably paying Volin. You buy a Yugo, you get Yugo performance.

yup, ben volin is trying to be tomase. what an idiot.

yeah..Yugo Fackurself

Thats just plain lazy.

thats the thing with twitter. you can tweet something then then undo it. if he wrote a column about it he would be in trouble. he is a hack. he stole jeff howe's new story about butler and howe took him to task on twitter. Dont know if anyone saw that.
