Something about that comment stuck with me, and not just the fact that … Continue reading Patriots Draft Preview (The “That Guy” Edition)
The process of breaking news is obviously a complicated one. How much information do you need to have before you go with a story? In the case of the Outside The Lines reporting this week, it seems that the reporters involved came up woefully short. ESPN is without an Ombudsman at this time, so we … Continue reading Will ESPN Learn From Its Latest Disaster?
Before ESPN's Outside The Lines ran their program this afternoon, they sent an afternoon email promising new developments.They quoted a former NFL head linesman as calling the activities of Patriots locker room attendant Jim McNally "unusual."
