Kraft also pointed out that the apology could have come sooner, if Matt Walsh wasn’t the source for the Herald story. “If Matt Walsh wasn’t the source,” Kraft said, “why did it take until the day after he spoke to get the apology?”
This quote just goes to show you that Tomase's truly had NO IDEA IF HIS STORY WAS TRUE. He was waiting around to see if Walsh could bail him out. He had no more idea than you or I or anybody else.
There is no reason to care who his sources were. His sources only said that they heard the pats taped it. It doesn't matter how much he trusted the sources, they just told him about a rumour.
Exactly. Tomase deserves to be buried for this. I hope everyone emails the Herald and lets them know that Pats fans are not mollified by his explanation. The Pats beat should be handled by a reporter that can at least be respected for journalistic integrity. John Tomase no longer fits the description. And how useful will it be for the Herald to employ a sports reporter that gets stonewalled by the team he's trying to cover anyways?
I can understand that he won't name the sources, but there is every reason to care who they were. It speaks to both Tomase's judgement and state of mind when deciding that these 'sources' were trustworthy even though they hadn't actually seen anything for themselves.
If these sources turn out to be people with an ax to grind with the Pats or BB then it proves even more that Tomase was convinced of this story because he wanted to be convinced.
These don’t sound like sources. It sounds more like years ago someone said I heard about this. Sounded like this was almost casual conversation two years before he decided to write it 2 days before the SB.
Did anyone at the Herald or their friends or associates bet on the Giants?
Just noticed Tomase explanation article and the comments are offline.
Damn.... I was having fun reading those comments.
