Got to keep it alive ESPN...

I assume the accuracy of that claim is commensurate with ESPN's general reporting on Framegate; that is, totally fraudulent.

Probably folks contacting the over 100 ESPN Ashley Madison suckers. It does not say what the threats are and they use the word vile. My guess is it is stop this or I release the Ashley Madison photos to your family perhaps in more colorful language. I like all good Patriots fans condemn this action against these folks no matter how scummy and despicable ESPN has been. No seriously, not cool.

I hope it's real.
Media is full of vile parasites and they're the scum of the American people. If they want to disgracefully smear people and tarnish people and destroy people, they should have to live looking over their shoulder.

**** 'em

When people feel enraged and helpless, stuff like this is bound to happen.

Mort said 11 of 12 enraged threatening fans are zombies who only come out at night.

That would be wrong boys. Very wrong.

so can we add them to the defamation law suit?

So many cemetaries in New England ... too many too count then add in all the
Patriot's departed fans around the world ... the number approaches ~.

My first reaction was "that's bad, even the slime buckets at ESPN don't deserve this, but then I saw that the original source was ESPN, so I breathed a sigh of relief since it meant the story had to be a lie.

I thought the same thing. It's like they feel the need to keep the story alive. Do you think if Belichick or Brady is generally aware that fans are upset that we will lose another draft pick?

What a wonderful opportunity for ESPN to do some reflection and soul-searching. What might have created such behavior? I hope they are thoughtful and charitable.

The problem if that if all the zombies converge on Bristol, CT to eat brains they will leave hungry.

Well we at least know we won't hear this reported at ESPN

Given the way words like "threat", "racist", "sexist" and the like have been changed to fit agendas in recent years, you'll have to excuse me if I don't take this seriously without having seen/heard the actual 'threats'.

Just saw the espn sport center ad with Gronk showing off his SB ring to some anchors. They're praising him to his face and trash him as soon as his back is turned. At least they're consistent.
