Associated Press: NFL’s Saints fight to shield emails in Catholic abuse crisis

This is real simple:

Child Molester/People Helping Child Molester Cover Up Crimes: Jay, can you help us?

Me: No.

Anything other than that is absolutely stupid and disgusting. Think about if this was your kid they were helping this sick priest and the Church with pr with. How would you feel?

Hard to argue that... I’d like to know the depth of the involvement though. There was apparently an awful lot of correspondence on the topic for just telling them to do the right thing.

Unfortunately, we may never know.

And you're right, the depth would be interesting and I hope it's not worse than this stupid, bone-headed move already.

I just don't get the concept or what went through Bensel's mind when he said, "Hmmmmm. . .I think it's a good idea to help them with pr about child molestation."

Jesus.

Two problems with that statement:

Greg Bensel has been an enabled, unchecked bully answerable only to Tommy Benson, now the Gold Digger...

And the other problem is that Greg Bensel could trouble-shoot his way out of a trucker's hat...

That last statement made me laugh.

Don't forget that Goodell claimed to have over 10,000 pages of "evidence" when all he had was 10,000 pages of documentation out of which a dozen could be construed as "evidence" if many dots went unconnected.

The 276 items of correspondence were likely every email, regardless of subject, that ever passed between Bensel and the archdiocese over the years. The AP needs to be patient and any correspondence that does pertain to the case will be released once accepted as relevant evidence. Any other correspondence is private and does not have any need to be shared.

I know how the media works and this is a part of it I will never miss.

Jay, welcome to B&G.
It gets lively in here, but far less nasty, than where you come from.
Some really cool folks here; and the Houston bunch meets in real life.

Again, the source is the Associated Press.
As a former news director, I grew up ripping and reading these guys
teletypes, until I began to notice a pattern of strong bias.
Understand this. THEY-are- FULL- of SH*t.

I don't even think they do any background on their writers anymore.

Think my Enquirer reference was funny?
Does anyone remember The Legend of Boggy Creek? A Sasquatch story
set in Fouke, AR?

Its original source: The Associated Press.

Put your pitchforks down and breathe, kids.
