It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Why wouldn't Tomase disclose a source that admittedly lied to him, especially when that disclosure would undeniably help his credibility? I don't think he'd sacrifice his own standing in public opinion to save face for Walsh.
I don't buy Walsh as the source now.
He's right too. Far from dying down after Goodell's statements, it's only gotten nastier. People are angrier now- some of them, like Mazzie, are downright crazed Mazz wrote an absolute rant- a hate-filled rant too.
Can you imagine a supposed professional spewing that kind of hate? Hate for the fans, too. I suddenly feel so empowered
My guess is that there probably was never any source. He thought the rumor was true but couldn't prove it. Then he saw some guy from the NY Times was on the story and feared he was going to beat him to it. Maybe he thought " If I just pretend I have a source and get to print first I'll get the credit for breaking the story when a real reporter nails it down."
If someone had come up with proof that's what would have happened. It was a gamble but look at his position. He has a job at a major city newspaper, but it's at a paper that's been in financial trouble for decades. Getting credit for breaking a big story like the Rams walk thru tape might give him a shot at a job on a web site or at one of the surviving papers.

I wish Dale would leave too...IMO...I hate that dude's voice (not his opinions)
I find it absolutely amazing that no one has written about the strangest part of the Walsh saga. I am referring to this unprecedented phenomenon in the media that has them writing stories as if Walsh "came through with the goods"!
First of all, I have never in my entire life witness the media openly HOPING that someone was guilty. They made it clear that they WANTED Walsh to have something. So much so that when it was discovered he had NOTHING, they still went forward and wrote articles calling for Belichik's resignation.
I would LOVE for just one media personality to attempt to explain this to us.
Here's the part I don't get. Nobody except the fans question the timing of the story. Now I agree, when there is a story the timing should not matter. But in this case, there was no new evidence and what Tomasse reported was something that had been out for years. So what changed suddenly to make him come forward with his article? Call me stupid or naive, but the timing becomes VERY suspicious to me because of the fact that this was an OLD piece of information and he and the rest of the media had plenty of time to make a decision about coming out with a story on it or not...unless that piece is part of the puzzle that is still missing and the Herald/Tomasse won't let it out.
