In all the years, I have never been one to boycott or stop watching any news station for a perceived slight, but I have finally gone over the edge. Between this and Ian O'Connor's slandarous article about Brady (which includes zero actual facts), I am truly done with ESPN. I will never go to their website again, delete their app from my phone, and only watch if absolutely necessary for a live game.
This truly may be the worst article I have ever read, by journalistic standards, and of course it is a major headline on ESPN's main page. First, it looks like it may have been partially written in 2007, based on the out-of-context quotes. It is some jerk's opinion that doesn't include a single tangible fact or legitimate suspicion. My favorite part is:
Hurney made it clear the Panthers weren't completely innocent of violating rules during their Super Bowl year. He reminded that a report came out after the season that several Carolina players bought steroids from a South Carolina physician.
Among those cited in the report were three of the five starting offensive linemen.
"That was wrong," Hurney said. "The organization didn't know anything about it and we took steps and we addressed that. We weren't going to put up with that. [Team owner] Jerry Richardson wasn't going to put up with that."
Oh that's right, you're team was actually caught doing something that gives a decided competitive edge, but that's okay because you are a good person who wants to do the right thing. What a hypocritical, self-righteous jackass.
