Help me out here.

So John Dennis and Gerry Callahan, who were once suspended for making racist remarks on the air, Kirk Minihane, who was suspended for calling a woman a “gutless bitch” and saying she should “drop dead” on the air, and John Tomase, who forced his paper to issue a public retraction and apology for a story he wrote, (but kept his job) have been the ones leading the charge for accountability for Twitter trolls?

Has anyone looked at John Dennis’ Twitter account? At times, he’s barely a notch above the idiots they’ve been condemning all week.

I have no issue with Curt Schilling putting the misogynistic morons who defamed his daughter on blast. (Though, if he’s as experienced with the Internet as we think he is, didn’t he realize something like this was likely to happen?) I recognize that D&C&M and Tomase have the audience and platform to bring attention to this situation.

I just wish they weren’t such blatant hypocrites.

Chad Finn looks at the Schilling story as well as another Twitter snafu from the week:

Sports incidents provide cautionary tales on Twitter

*****

The NFL salary cap is complicated and confusing, there’s no doubt about it. Cap space, cash spending, carryover, signing bonuses, Top 51 rule -it’s easy to get things mixed up.

Enter Miguel Benzan. His Patriots Salary Cap Information Page has long been an essential resource for any Patriots fan. Also, his blog on Patsfans.com provides outstanding breakdowns of individual situations and he’s a must follow on Twitter, as well.

It’s been good to see him getting more and more credit and recognition from the mainstream media, and watching him (gently) correct reporters on the facts in their coverage is fun.

*****

There was an interesting media story around the Celtics yesterday, as it was reported early in the morning that the team would be signing free agent center JaVale McGee to a contract through next season. Jeff Goodman of ESPN was the first on the story. Other outlets confirmed the story, and even Danny Ainge himself sort of confirmed it on his appearance on 98.5’s Toucher and Rich program.

Outlets went about producing content to reflect the signing, and what it would mean for the team.

But later in the day, the venerable Steve Bulpett of the Herald broke the news that McGee would not be coming to the Celtics, that the two sides could not reach agreement on a contract.

There followed a bit of confusion online, the Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach was on an airplane and continued tweeting as if the deal was going through, and promoted an updated story on the situation, before realizing the deal had fallen through and having to correct himself, but having no access to a phone to confirm.

In many ways this incident was a symbol of the new media world we inhabit. In the “old” days, the story wouldn’t have even been reported until the next day, and would’ve just been a footnote, with the team coming “close to signing” McGee but ultimately not being able to. The need for constant, real-time content isn’t always conducive to accuracy.

No one is really to blame for how the reporting was done, Goodman went with what he knew, and others confirmed it, but it wasn’t final yet, and things happen. In the end, the real scoop went to Bulpett.

More I think he just loves living large, and having people know what he’s up to. It was one of his most lovable characteristics as an athlete but now, with the backlash to his politics and his really foolish online antics on other topics, he’s become an aggravation. I don’t know and don’t care to what extent he did or didn’t predict the outcome of his original tweet. I do know that he needlessly exposed his daughter to abuse, which is the opposite of what a father should do.

          If he’s such a supposedly hard-core gamer, I wonder if he ever had any coherent thoughts on gamergate. Seems not, since he’s only now clued into what online abuse can turn into. And to paraphrase Felger: Curt, if the Twitter trolls are getting you down…get off of Twitter. Bullying over. Even his daughter will know enough to limit her exposure to it from now on.

  7. I go away for two days and miss all the good stuff. Bruce…you can’t blame the victim. I am sorry. I don’t accept that because Twitter is a cesspool Schilling should have known that his daughter was going to be uncomfortably threatened because he had the audacity to congratulate her. People don’t like Schilling…as a RI resident and tax payer I get it. As a conservative I understand why he is hated by people just for breathing. What I do not understand is why his actions bare any blame for the attack on his daughter. They are two separate actions and only are linked because people used one, his congratulating his daughter as a pretext to have it be acceptable to unfairly and unconscionably attack her. It is insidious. It is why some people, like me, find any and all attempts to make Kurt Schilling take any blame for this situation just flat out wrong.

    As for the accusations that Schilling is a fame whore…he is guilty as charged. I will not defend him from that accusation. The only thing I will say is Kurt Schilling is a big boy. At no time when he has been attacked has he resorted to putting the accusers. He only reacted this way when he thought his daughter’s safety was threatened. I do not see him being a hypocrite at all. I see him being a father.

    As for your comments about John, Gerry, minihane and Tomase…You are completely right they are hypocrites. They have little to no credibility. Yet they are all completely correct in this case.

The use of modern communication forums should not be off limits to Curt just because he is famous, nor should his daughter’s life be threatened because he used a medium that 500 mill other people across the planet use in a similar fashion. Curt did not need to think about potential repercussions to his daughter because there should not have been any. To blame him is akin to blaming the girl who gets raped because she is pretty and popular.

What he’s proved is that he’s learned nothing from several years of online experience. It’s not like he should be new to the concept of the harrassment of females online, either–a gamer like him would presumably have heard of gamergate, and what’s happened to women simply doing their jobs. That some people behaved odiously does not exempt Curt from responsibility of knowing better.

He did so using a communications method that 500 mill other people use. Making that type of post should not invite the responses it did that were directed towards his DAUGHTER…towards him…sure…all is fair game….but not towards her. To blame him for any of this is blaming the victim. He should not have to refrain from using a twitter because he is famous and some people do not like him. Likewise he should not have to avoid going to a market or restaurant because his presence may bring out crazy people. He should not have to live like a prisoner because other people do not know how to act around someone they disagree with.

            Once more: I’m not excusing the harrassers. They deserve to be exposed and face penalties for the disgusting things they said. They’re guilty of harrassment, plain and simply. But Curt is a fool for using the medium to engage antagonistically with so many people for so long–to say nothing of the viciousness of the online gaming environment he says he’s familiar with–and not have some inkling of what could happen.

            I can think of plenty of examples of young women whose photos were accidentally posted online (not necessarily even through breakup revenge) who then received really frightening online harrassment by stalkers. The piranha are out there. To be a high-profile personality like Curt and not have any inkling of what might happen is to be as dumb as a rock. He’s been playing with fire on Twitter for years. I have no sympathy for the harrassers but no pity for him, either.

    1. I was all set to make a post this morning about Ordway. I was out driving at 5:00 am on Sunday morning and because there is nothing not he radio I streamed his Friday show. It dawned on me that the only interesting part of the show was his media criticism segments. So I was thinking that perhaps WEEI would be smart to give Ordinary the 6:00 – 7:00 hour and have him host a Media critic show as a counter programming to the Baseball Reporters and as a lead in to Sox games in the summer and full time the rest of the year.

      Then I was driving this morning and he was filling in for Dino and I thought…why would he do it and more importantly why would WEEI have him in. I know he and Jerry get along well, as I understand it he and Dino also get along well. But I wonder if Dino is really looking at retiring and they are looking at Big O as replacement. Or I wonder if they are getting him back into the family and then they will move out the midday show and either bring back Glenn or move D&H back and put Glenn back in prime time.

Teams do in fact need to restructure and finagle dollars to do that, but it’s possible. “The cap is crap” is nothing more than a soundbite distillation, a conscious oversimplification. I don’t see why fans continue to make such a big deal out of the idea. Contrast the NFL’s cap, which can be managed with restructurings and bonuses to the point that the cap hit rarely correlates with the actual dollar amount a player receives in any one year, with, say, the NHL (or even the NBA) cap, where restructuring isn’t possible. The Bruins really are stuck with Chiarelli’s deals, unless he can trade a few players off, because he can’t renegotiate. And that’s the crux of the matter.

      1. The point he misses is that the NFL has a hard cap. So yes you can move money around. You can maneuver. But in the end decisions do have to be made with the cap in mind. He infuriates listeners like me when he says the Cap is Crap because as Tom Curran has repeatedly explained to Felger the Cap is not Crap it is a real wall. The issue with the caps in the NBA and the NHL on the other hand are like you point out the Guaranteed Contracts that the players receive. Because of them you are correct the Bruins are stuck with the bad Chiarelli contracts and the Celtics can’t rebuild because every time they look to get better they have to balance the move by voiding money usually a good player on the other end. The NFL Cap is not Crap…it caused the Patriots to lose Vince, Vereen, Revis, Browner and Ridley this offseason.

        1. The difference is the ability to renegotiate. That’s why the cap winds up being fungible. When you can rework the deals with damn near your entire team to facilitate more signings, that really reduces the importance of the cap. Once more, I don’t understand why a throwaway soundbite like “cap is crap” causes such anger in fans. One reason why the Patriots have had such an extended run of success is that they manage with a much clearer view of obligations 3-5 years down the road than other teams seem to–to a fault, as seems to be the case now with Revis. You can find plenty of examples–the Redskins of the last ten years–of teams stupidly spending themselves into a corner. That’s what the Patriots want to avoid. (Significantly, no word yet on how much of Revis’ contract with the Jets is guaranteed.) But NFL salaries can be managed to a degree far exceeding any other sport (even baseball, which doesn’t have a cap but also won’t allow restructuring–the reason why A-Rod never came to Boston).

That’s part of his trolling schtick, and I find his commentary intelligent enough (laugh if you must : ) that I can brush off the trolling. He never says the Pats can just go hog wild and sign everybody–that was Snyder’s desire–but he usually finds one guy and harps on, “They can get THIS guy if they really wanted to!” But I’ve never taken “cap is crap” to be anything more than a cute mnemonic.

          3. Growing up around Boston, I can understand the angry fan mindset to a degree. The Red Sox and Patriots were horribly run organizations for decades, and even when they put a good season it would end in horrible fashion (Game 6, 86 Super Bowl/drug scandal). Now they are arguably the best-run franchises in their respective leagues, with 7 titles since 2002. Before this renaissance, the teams deserved all the criticism they got, and probably more. But now? The Sox erred in hiring Valentine and signing Crawford (most notably) and were rightly criticized for the way they treated Francona, but they have spent money, developed a strong farm system, and improved scouting, the ballpark experience and team facilities. (but wait, they sold bricks!!!) The Patriots are the best organization in football by every meaningful measure. Revis will be very hard to replace but he is 31 and only 2 years removed from significant injury. (Funny, we went from having crappy sports teams without successful organizational philosophies, and now the Patriots and Sox are criticized for it and are constantly told they need to make an exception “just this once.” What happened when one of these team deviated from the plan just this once? The 2012 Red Sox.)
            Fans will be fans. Some are just plain stupid, and you can’t change that. But many are too busy to really understand the issues, so they just parrot the “information” provided to them by the most prominent media sources (Globe, EEI 98.5, ESPN).

      I don’t blame the guy one bit for maximizing what’s likely his last big payday. Glad he was here for a year; glad he got a ring with us. Because he ain’t gettin’ one with the Jets anytime soon…

  20. Good morning everyone
    Revis have fun playing on a 5 and 11 jets team and living large in ny.

    BB. What is the plan now ? A lot of good core players are and have left the team…
    I guess time will tell but I think there on to a New Plan at Foxboro . We’re onto New Plan…

    I definitely won’t be listening to the Mazz and flager show. .or much of anyone else’s crap until the dust settles

    About Gresh, I miss him with zo. The Beatle thing is not working with me? Am I the only one feeling that way ?

    Isn’t a prefect time for the small balls report to come out now ?

    Jets tampering charge any word nfl lol

  21. If this doesn’t make the real douchebags in this market even more transparent than usual. Merloni’s narcissism seems even stronger than Benz’s. Fauria lost as usual (talk about a show dragging EEI’s relatively improved line up down). Bertrand “coming down hard on the team” while rejecting any notion that perhaps Revis may have just wanted to go back to the Jets because there’s not enough evidence of it…yet apparently ready to believe every rumor and report about what the Patriots actually offered (as if we know for sure). No question he’s brought some F+M to 10am which is apparently what 98.5 wanted in the first place.

    This is what happens when you project next season’s roster — as well as its wins and losses — on March 11th. I’m not going to pretend they can easily replace Revis but something tells me we’ll want to bookmark some of these clowns’ comments and tweets by the time we get to the end of next year.

    1. Remember when the Bucs traded for Revis and he elevated them from 7-9 to 4-12? Just sayin’.
