    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      No one is defending the idea (that I've seen) that it's ok to send anonymous threats to people.   What I said was 1) personal attacks are unacceptable, 2) why would ESPN go, anonymously, to SI to bring publicity to a problem, when ESPN itself owns all of the available sports media space in the...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Wow. "Multiple" sources at ESPN (which, last time I checked, competes with SI) have gone to SI to complain about over the top reactions of fans to articles published by ESPN. That almost sounds orchestrated to me. Personal attacks are of course unacceptable. But ESPN must consider the extent...

    SportsCenter & OTL Bringing Back Spygate (live, 9AM)

    I thought the last Sally Jenkins column -- the one where she quoted various people remembering Goodell blowing a gasket in public places -- was a good start on the "no clothes" front.     Endorse, endorse! Separate thread for "voices from inside the Front Office" would serve as a magnet for...

    The Nation's Tears: Pink Stripes

    I may be reading too much into the program description but I'm not liking the look of the show that's on after "Do Your Job" tonight: "Reactions to the Do Your Job" special and bonus content that didn't make the show. Special, Talk, Live." Hmmm.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      I may be missing some deeper level of sarcasm here, but there is nothing in that Mortensen link on ESPN that suggests that "the initial leak (about Mara) was from Brady's camp." http://espn.go.com/e...int?id=13477723

    Sons, Sam, and Horn, L.L.P.: Brady Case LEGAL ISSUES Only

    This writer maintains the CBA is not a "magic wand" that Goodell/NFL can use to excuse all manner of fact-invention:   http://www.footballbyfootball.com/column/myth-busted-cba-is-no-magic-wand-for-roger-goodell   "By now you've probably heard about Article 46 of the NFL's collective bargaining...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Hard to say if there is actual dissension among the owners based on this column. Donaldson has been at the Providence Journal for decades and should have sources around the league. But he couches his words in this column in such a way that there is very little support for what looks to be his...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    And this, by the way, is how a reporter (and news organization) with integrity corrects the public record when he learns that one of his previous reports was based on a source' lies. Take note, Mr. Mortensen and ESPN.

      +1   Hence, the 96 hugs. Hence, "my authoritah." Hence, every other weak-willed, low self esteem effort to place himself, The Commissioner, at the center of the brand.    Just as corrupt FIFA management was able to stay in place for so many years by playing off 100+ countries (read: 32...

    From Florio: "And what better way to do that than to march all 32 owners into court for sworn testimony regarding their communications with Goodell and the league office regarding the Brady suspension and appeal?"   -----   I say without fear of contradiction that no written sentence in this...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      The Jets are already well represented in the NFL front office, so no need for them to lobby Goodell any more than that.
