Not all journalists are lazy or unethical. Most journalists do uphold their journalistic integrity. Arguing any journalist's story is not true because all journalists lack journalistic integrity is a very weak argument. Unless you have evidence that Coles has fudged stories before, it is unfair to say he lacks journalistic integrity.

I do think it is funny that people are defending Mankins from people who accused him of doing something "there is no evidence of him doing" by trashing a journalist who provides evidence that he did do it with no evidence that the journalist did anything wrong at all.

No, the person making a claim bears the burden of proof. Why should I assume journalistic integrity on anyone's part? A journalist earns credibility when they consistently display that they have integrity, not before.

More evidence you clearly don't understand the difference between opinions and evidence.

I am tired of going around this with you. Come back to me when you brush up on your sixth grade English.

I just read through this.
Hopefully an unbiased opinion may help clear it up.
Rob is talking about evidence, as in a piece of information that is part of making a conclusion.
Townes is talking about proof, as in a piece of evidence that is confirmed, unquestioned and incontrovertible information guaranteeing the conclusion is correct.
Hope that helps. Carry on.

The hangup: players still asking for cash

Logan Mankins and Vincent Jackson are still asking for cash compensation and that is one of the holdups over the finalizing of the CBA agreement, a source with knowledge of the situation told me.

Mankins and Jackson are still asking for $10 million each and this is slowing the process, the source explained. Jackson has denied he is seeking compensation.

The lawsuit against the NFL cannot be settled until all the plaintiffs agree and as of late Wednesday night, the source said, Mankins and Jackson were still seeking payment. The NFL, thus far, refuses to agree.

My guess: tomorrow, after more criticism, the two men will drop their requests and the CBA will be agreed to by the players and owners.

If Mankins and Jackson continue this course of action they may need to move to an isolated island in the Pacific.

Logan Mankins should be ashamed of himself... I understand buisness is buisness, but on a day when his boss lost his wife he has to think of himself... lockout with standing , have some consideration....
