I don't recall whether Davis said that, but he was definitely full of sanctimonious criticism of BB and the Patriots in the aftermath of Spygate, phase I.
I am starting to wonder if Comcast and the other big cable companies have a cozy relationship with Disney (ESPN's corporate parent). ESPN's reporting has just been SO biased:
1. Their own reporter, Chris Mortenson, reported that there was nothing new in the "revelations" last week that the Patriots were taping since 2001. He said it was reported back in September, although no one paid much attention. And Goodell said last week that he knew in September the team had been following the practice since 2001 of taping the other teams' coaches from the sidelines, and that his original punishment was for that whole period. And yet this week ESPN is treating it like shocking new crimes. They have said nothing of the facts revealed by Mortenson and Goodell. (But why let facts get in the way of sensationalistic stories that cause people to tune in and sell ads, no matter whose reputation is tarnished?)
2. How about the poll they posted within the past day or two, asking what the penalties should be for the Patriots' "new" transgressions? There was no option such as "None, they have already been penalized for this". Instead, the only options were things like "Forfeit all their games since 2000", "Give back their Super Bowl Trophies", "Forfeit their 2009 1st round pick", etc. The "softest" choice was "something else", which could be taken to mean "nothing" or (more likely) to mean something else (like all of the above, or capital punishment or ...).
I am almost getting to the point that, despite my off-season hunger to fill the emptiness of the off-season, I can't watch ESPN anymore. It is just so full of BS.
