Does he have time to think about his role in Framegate now?

To me it means open season is back on. All he has to do is admit he was used as a pawn in an NFL smear and I will be satisfied.

I think the best we are going to get from Mort is "it was a source I trusted, they were wrong, I am sorry for that and promise I will do better next time"

I am unaware that he had expressed anything like an apology, despite having had ample opportunity to do so. He has defended his reporting and source, without regard for his veracity. If there is a counter-example, I will gladly retract this statement.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, whose report about 11 of the 12 “significantly underinflated” New England Patriots footballs at the AFC championship provided a kickstart (but not nearly as big as some would like to believe) to the whole Deflategate controversy, went on the defensive Monday, telling Dan Le Batard that he wouldn’t retract his report, didn’t think he was being used and that while the semantics of his reporting were incorrect, and since corrected, the general gist was not.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen defends Deflategate reporting, knocks Pats fans

Dave Gardi, who is part of the football operations for the NFL, said one ball was as low as 10.1 PSI. Turns out there was no ball 10.1 PSI. And so therefore, I think there was some inaccurate data at the time that was passed on to me, but I also talked to other sources who verified the number that I was focused on. The number of footballs. Eleven was a significant number, and ‘significantly underinflated’ was a significant description. And so therefore do I feel betrayed? No

One would hope that having to fact your own mortality would motivate him to seek redemption.

 

[chasa]

His twitter bio "Christian, Husband, Father, Veteran...once covered George Brett in high school for The Daily Breeze. ..Avatar is son Alex handing off to Run DMC at Arkansas"

What would Jesus do if he made a mistake like this?

It's always the religious nuts who lie and cheat, Mort is a scumbag

 

[Wheelman]

Dude looks different. (Yeah, I know cancer, just saying)

 

[ThatllMoveTheChains!!!]

Doctors apparently realized he didn't have cancer he is one.

 

[varjao]

He looks like a cadaver with some make-up.

 

[Wordsmyth]

Cancer will do that to you.

Chains, varjao--here's hoping it never happens to you or to ones you love.

 

[Noexcusesfornumber5]

If he can't find honesty at this point, then all hope is lost for us Pats fans as far as Mort is concerned. I care deeply about the illness he carries, however, it doesn't effect my anger and resentment towards him. I want him and Roger to live long enough to watch 1000 Patriot Belichick Trophies being raised before they get to go toes up.

Wow. On the left is someone who drank the real holy grail and on the right the fugazi one

 

[Patjew]

Jeez some of you are M E A N.

 

[Wordsmyth]

Agreed, sir. It saddens me deeply. Losing an immediate family member to insidious cancer completely changes your life perspective.

 

[IllegalContact]

It sucks that he didn't die

 

[Gronkowski123]

mort looks like jimmy carter now. anyway, suzy kolber is still very attractive!

I don't equate the two. I am caring for and living with a dying stage 4 cancer patient right now.

I didn't wish Mort cancer and the fact he had/has it does not change that Mort has done a wrong and Mort can make his wrong right any time he chooses with basically no effort. Three sentences would probably do it. As a self described Christian he certainly should. Now that he is back working in the field he did this, I see no reason to not resume calling him on it and try and get him to answer for what he was a part of even if he acted as an unknowing stooge at the time he first reported. Mort is not fixing his wrong because he fears it will hurt him in the pocketbook from NFL retribution.
