Shouldn't that be "only if you play O against Don Brown?"
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:43 AM ^
Hm you all seem to have seen something different than i have. Which one of his videos has been proven to be false, or so deceptively edited that it presents a falsehood as a truth? Honest question because I don't know. Most of the ones I can think of, the most recent that I am aware of being the teachers union in New Jersey, I am not aware of being shown to be wrong or untrue.

Shit, even that article doesn't rail on him enough.
The ACORN videos were heavily edited and the GAO, Massachusetts AG, and California AG, all investigated the organization and found no criminal wrong doing. The GAO specifically reviewed the financials that showed no improper mishandling of funds.

Thanks for the link. I somehow hadn't followed the Post story. Yeah, trying to plant a fake story is terrible. In defense of Roy Moore even more so.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:52 AM ^
Read the damn thread, man. Not that it's by any means all inclusive of his shenanigans. I'd take the time, but I know how you think, so I'm not doing that.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:55 AM ^
I hope you are a retired teacher if this post is representative of your discernment of credible and reliable media sources.

He hired a woman to lie to the Washington Post and say that Roy Moore impregnated her as a teenager, in order to catch the Post in promoting a false story about Moore. Only problem was that the Post found out pretty quickly that she was a fraud during their normal vetting process.

Just go look at his Wiki (has citations).
Most, if not all of the major videos he released were described as "heavily edited" or "overtly deceptive/taken out of context."
Each video controversy is addressed in full and in many cases AG offices in individual states and even the GAO have looked into him and said he's full of shit.
You don't have to take our word for it on a sports blog. Go do some research.

I'm not defending O'Keefe but Wikipedia is where you suggest we do some research? C'mon Man!
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:44 AM ^
Why did have to be from this POS?
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
I had a feeling somebody else was sitting on something about Meyer and they may use the moment to pile on.
?
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:46 AM ^
Came here for the Urbs Papa Johns gif.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:48 AM ^
I don't know... prior to his debacle of a sting trying to vouch for Roy Moore, I thought his stories on Twitter's shadowbanning and CNN's ratings incentives were pretty good. Curious to see what info he's got. (Also weird that he had this lined up 1 day after McMurphy's story broke.)
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:50 AM ^
I can't wait to see what they wrote on their Geocities page there.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
This is garbage and should be removed.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
Unlike the wife-beating coverup, given this guy's history of creating entrapping footage using some questionable methods, I think this falls under the "don't pass judgement lest ye be judged" category.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:52 AM ^
This dude uses the media techniques of Sacha Baron Cohen but without humor or intelligence.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:57 AM ^
...sooo the media techniques of Sacha Baron Cohen?
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:53 AM ^
This guy has a history of exposing criminals. Good.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:57 AM ^
This guy has a history of exposing himself to be a charlatan.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
Let me guess, you're checking mgoblog during commercial breaks on Infowars.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:09 AM ^
This guy has a history of hilarious self-owning.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:54 AM ^
This makes no sense for someone like this to get involved - why would you want to anger the OSU fanbase for clicks?
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:55 AM ^
It’ll probably be a weak video of urban suggesting that a player should play through pain or something
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:56 AM ^
All for exposing Urban for the slimeball he is. But James O'Keefe is not the good faith actor through which to expose him. I hope everything this guy does is ignored.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:58 AM ^
Lol why is this shithead pivoting to sports all of a sudden?
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:04 AM ^
This guy finds Dinesh D'Souza as a journalist that should be respected. All I need to know.
5 FAKES outta 5
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:05 AM ^
James O'Keefe is a lying piece of shit. This will probably be edited and misleading as hell.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:08 AM ^
I don't know what the video shows. But questions may arise about Meyer's players' safety. There is a lawsuit against those who allegedly contributed to the severe brain damage found in Aaron Hernandez (Myers' ex-Florida player who killed himself in prison after he killed 3 other people). Reportedly, on autopsy, he had the worst CTE ever found.in a patient his age (27). CTE can affect judgement, thinking and decision making. And a handful of the other 100 NFL players autopsied also committed suicide.

If he is truly going to try and show player abuse at OSU under Meyer ( which seems like the opposite side of where this guy would be ) then I have to say I look forward to the clash of the OSU fan base with this guys followers.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:13 AM ^
F*** James O'Keefe forever. Seriously. I get that some of us want to see Urban taken down (I'd love to see Harbaugh whoop on him this year before they can him), but nothing O'Keefe has ever done has been honorable. He's crazy deceptive and has actually ruined the lives of 2 people I know, by doctoring footage and then sicking fanatics on folks. He's been sued successfully multiple times. He is the opposite of a reliable source.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
When it rains it pours.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
Ugh. I don't like Urban any more than anyone else, but this source is the bottom of the scum swamp no matter what your political affiliation. Whatever it is merits no attention at all.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:42 AM ^
This guy is garbage. No way anything comes of this.
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:21 PM ^
What if we replaced him with Dan Rather? Would that give it more credit for you?
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:15 PM ^
If ESPN and OTL broke this story this would be 100% accurate
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Yes, I think we all expected James O'Keefe to come for.....Urban Meyer?
James OKeefe....as in the Planned Parenthood Guy?
Take me this with a grain of salt.
