Need up-to-the-minute Brady Deflategate info?

Submitted by MGoGrendel on

ALL the ESPN networks will be reporting live -- LIVE!! -- all day -- ALL DAY!! -- from the NFL hearing on Wednesday.

It's such a joke that they have to announce this "special reporting" on Monday.  As if everyone in the nation is on pins and needles waiting for some sports journalist present his opinion actual news of what happened.

Forget the Pennant Races, college football practice, NFL games, etc.  Let’s all turn our camera’s on the outside of a building and listen to dorks spew garbage all day.  Maybe I’ll record it so I can use Stephen A Smith’s wise words for my alarm clock.

And… we get MOAR drawings!  (PS - that's Tom on the right)

I'm just wondering who the guy with the grey hair in the background is. That's what I need to know and now!

Well, Brady was not going to start this season anyway. He was 1/4 in the first pre-season game. He probably should practice with correctly inflated ball and come back in week 5. /s

Wait - in the drawing of Tom Brady causing all the uproar Brady is the guy on the RIGHT?

Oh - all this time I thought he was the guy on the LEFT! I mean, that guy looks NOTHING like Tom Brady.

That courtroom sketch always gives me the willies.

Tom looks like some cretinous character from a Francis Bacon painting.


Can we please please stop posting that image?

I will work from home and have ESPN SportsCenter on in the background.  

This may sound somewhat elitest, but it's kind of depressing.  (1) The commercials aren't what you see during primetime, they're obviously geared toward different folk.  And (2) the non-commercials are just nothing but mindless and stupid talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

I guess ESPN has to fill the hours somehow, but wow --- best to just turn if off unless there are actual games.

NFL's case - "Doesn't matter that we proactively leaked the 2 most damaging info pieces to influence public opinion, but both were untrue."

NFL's case: "Our commish handed out a 4-game suspension with no real evidence, then arbitrated the appeal himself. What's wrong with that?" 

NFL's case: "We promised an independent investigation, then paid the investigator and helped edit his report, then admitted no independence"

NFL's case: "Even though we screwed up Bountygate/Rice/Peterson just as badly, and even though we have no evidence, trust us this time."

If it was raining on me right now, and the NFL told me it was raining on me... part of me would wonder if it was raining.

They report what every they are told to report.  The NFLs case was all about Goodell had standing to hear the apeal.  Brady says its the whole suspension including the appeal, did you ever hear the last part as being possible on ESPN? Nope.  They never look back and say they were wrong.

If nothing else, the sketch artist is owning this - LINK

Perhaps the most interesting nugget to come from her interview this morning, however, is when she revealed that she's had over 25 emails from people who want to seriously buy her sketch of the Patriots quarterback. She explained that she owns the rights to the sketch — and not CBS or the court — and that she has it in her apartment.

She joked that the asking price was $1 million, and who knows, she may very well get it. The link to the segment is in the article as well.
