Many people said the same thing about Randy Moss in the offseason of 2007. Brown, like Moss was in 2006, is miserable where he is and frustrated with the offense. Brown may have been like Moss in 2006 and mailing in the effort because of it. There was a lot wrong with the Eagles offense last...

What does how he reported Haskins’ death have anything to do with HIPAA laws? The way he reported the death was a **** move since he basically called him a bust while reporting his death, but I don’t even know he realized how his tweet would be taken and he quickly pull it down. The JPP case...

You have no idea what they settled for. Lawsuits settle for far less than what the plaintiff is asking for all the time. When settlements are made public, you see them being far less than the asking price in many cases. I would bet JPP got something like a few hundred grand. Disney would see...

I am betting JPP didn't get a massive amount of money. And for a company like ESPN (Disney) whatever they paid JPP was probably a nothing payment for them.

Have a nice life.

The law is if the reporter doesn't assist the source to obtain illegally obtained information, the reporter didn't do anything illegal. But publishing illegally obtained information can still be sued civilly. It is always easier to settle than to fight it. Most corporations will settle a...

I don't blame him. If a source gives a reporter information that is news, it is their obligation to report it if it confirmed as the facts.

There is no HIPAA law for reporters. His sources might have violated HIPAA, but that isn't Schefter's problem. The only way Schefter can violate HIPAA laws is if he committed fraud to obtain medical records like claiming to be a player's relative to get medical records.

I am sure the fact that Schefter means a lot to the bottom dollar of ESPN, they might fight hard to keep him. So he might be the exception. But there is a chance even he couldn't survive something like that. But say it is a lesser beat reporter like whoever covers the Colts for ESPN. He...

I am just using an affair as the worst case scenario. We have no idea what Vrabel and Russini did. The pictures by themselves are pretty innocent. It is the speculation of what they did when they weren't on camera that is the telling thing.

But that is the point of using analytics as a tool that is paired with traditional scouting and other ways to analyze players. Analytics can only show so much. And it can be misleading without other information to get the bigger picture.

Analytics can be a powerful tool, but it isn't the be all and end all in player evaluation. You still need to scout players and investigate them. Analytics can only tell you so much.

She should. But who knows. But if Adam Schefter had an affair with the owner of the Colts, I would assume that ESPN would ask him to resign.

It will depend on whether she can find an audience. Legacy media is dying and you can make more money doing a podcast or starting your own your own media company like Weiss is the way to go these days. Hell, that is how the Athletic started until they were bought by the NYT. The problem for...

People are crying about a double standard as if it is a man vs. woman punishment. Russini wasn't forced to resign because she is a woman and Vrabel isn't going to survive this unscathed because he is a man. Russini was forced to resign because she is a journalist and she is required to have...

I always felt the only way you were ever going to make Hunter worth his draft position was to try to make him an elite player on one side of the ball and only use him sparingly or not at all on the other side of the ball until he is developed. This playing him both ways was always a recipe for...

Gotta say that Eagles fans are going to be extremely upset for what the Eagles get for AJ Brown when he is traded whether it is to the Patriots or somewhere else. I saw a video today by a Eagles social media influencer who listed these potential trades as the bare minimum that the Eagles will...

In fairness, you could make the same assessment of Randy Moss in 2006 before he was traded to the Patriots. AJ Brown was far better last year than Moss was in 2006. And it wasn't even close.

Fire Vrabel?!? For allegedly having an affair? Any punishment he should face is with his family. If he cheated, I hope his wife gets everything she wants in a divorce if that is the route she goes. But I don't think even with a high profile job, that his job should be in jeopardy because...
