They cited Whitlock who had reported this angle.
That's the only angle Jason Whitlock can see. A bigger story would be "Whitlock didn't see a race issue."

I have one thought about the move Mort and ESPN pulled...greasy, like Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys...real greasy
I am aware of that, will not be renewing with them. tyhidemyass keeps logs for up to two years. Private Internet Access keeps no logs and is only something like $7 a month or $40 a year.
I contend that he wasn't allowed to.Mortensen could have retracted his report as soon as he knew it was wrong, even if it was only when the Wells report came out. He wouldn't have to name names, just say "Sorry, I was wrong to trust my source".
So Mort gets no free pass. He is UNETHICAL to keep standing by his report.
.....and that's how you need to fight the NFL.
In fairness to Mortensen, he received this info from the VP of Gameday Operations for the NFL. That's a pretty good source.
The problem is that Mort's source never helped him print a retraction.
The question is why. That is what I want to know.

Read the quote from the BSPN jokesperson.

It's not speculation or guesses. It's sourced.SOoooooooooooo....what's the BIG scoop today.......????
A bunch of air time with nothing resolved, speculation and wild ass guesses
Mort is a coward of epic proportions. He was never going to name names. Why not take away the Pats fans and others questioning why he has never addressed this issue? No he will increase the rhetoric against him. I expect him to get blasted locally and by Florio.
As for Dennis naming Kensil, it means nothing unfortunately. Tom Curran has been screaming this for months and nothing has happened.
Kraft should sue Kensil personally for defamation. This would be his way around suing the league which will piss off his fellow owners and still trying to get his pound of flesh.
I'm losing track of the antecedents for the pronouns in this thread. Use names or initials, please. Who is "he" here, Kensil or Mortensen?He's an absolute coward.

By publishing a retraction, ESPN and the NFL both look bad.So BSPN is in cahoots with the league to set up the Patriots.

It was a high ranking source as according to Shefter that'd good enough.Yup...though I will say, aren't you supposed to have two sources to run with anything like this? Mortensen was right to trust a high-ranking NFL official (in theory) but did he or didn't he confirm the sources info? If he did then who was source number 2, if he didn't then shame on Mort for not doing his due diligence on the biggest leak in sports in years.
And further, we can only hope that Mort is pissed at the way he was used to pump a fake story. After the Wells report was released he must have been floored. I truly get the sense that he's a good journalist and a good person, he works for a ****ty organization but I think he tries to do things the right way. He can't just out his sources, he'd be done in the business, but he has to be wondering why the F they never came back to him to correct the story. Maybe that's why he's rooting for Brady to get this wiped, and it's possible that Dennis got his 'leak' from Mort. Not likely, but it may be a bit of retribution without having to say it himself and ruining his career.
If these were just guesses D@C and WEEI would have heard from Kensil's attorneys, yet crickets.
