Breaking .. Another Saints Scandal

RedWings44 · 04-23-2012, 05:12 PM

I guess I don't understand anymore. Suddenly everyone has shifted to hating ESPN. Did they admit it wasn't true, or is everyone holding out that it isn't true?

Garbage, nothing will come of this. Bet on it

BGWhoDat · 04-23-2012, 05:17 PM

So a guy tells ESPN this happened.. with zero fact.. and they pass it off as fact..? By the way - if they knew it was re-wired, why was he inspecting the wiring in a GMs office?

Doesn't sound credible.

BTW http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-r.../post/18792441 <-- THIS.

Additional quote ---- "Letten said he only confirmed to ESPN his office received a general allegation about Saints concerning electronic devices."

Zero credibility.

Isn't there a statute of limitations on this kind of stuff? Geez!

Actually there is. Even if by some miracle it was true, thee would be no legal issues involved.

Except the hand of Goodell attempting to fine and strip even more picks away to cripple us.

Yeah, those sub-par .500 seasons are pure proof of cheating..... Espn is on a witch hunt, and they arent above bs just to get ratings..... These "sources" either need to come forward with SOLID proof, or these stories dont even make it to possibility. I dont know what the league's problem is with us, or why they are on this vendetta, but enough is enough.

I guess ESPN figured we were getting just a little to drama free?

It's frustrating that the media can report whatever they want with little to no facts. If this turns out to be false no one will ever say a word about ESPN and the individuals working on the story but the Saints will always have this attached to them. For ESPN, a source is anyone who has an interesting story to tell, regardless of if they have proof. However, while the big wigs at ESPN and Outside the Lines thought it was OK to run this story, it seems a lot of the analysts and on air personalities for ESPN are skeptical.

Times-Picayune had this in their piece:

"This report is 1000 % false- completely inaccurate- we asked ESPN to provide us evidence to support thier allegations and they refused," said team spokesman Greg Bensel. "The team and Mickey are seeking all legal recourse regarding these false allegations"

I hope to god this is true so they can sue the hell out of them.
