Thanks for posting this Bankerguy. Your link is not good so I have found the right one for this article:

I find it refreshing that someone from the media made the same observation that I have regarding responsible reporting.

ESPN made fools of themselves on this. While they were too busy trying to report and analyz what was going on they missed the target.

Another example from a differenet direction that they created on their own has to do with Clarett and is lies regarding Ohio State. Tom Friend knew he was reporting stories that Clarett made up to get back at OSU but he ran the story anyway. In spite of Clarett's regrets on doing the interview and his admission to maling up the accusations, Friend went with the story.

Things like this leave ESPN with little credibility IMO.

I think it is really funny that people are blaming the police and ESPN and the paramedics for a bogus story based solely on the word of Terrell Owens. If it was a courtroom, you'd have those responders and hospital personnel able to speak freely and it would undoubtedly paint an entirely different story. Since no crime was committed, the police, rescue, and hospital personnel can't say much because of privacy reasons. Owens has taken advantage of this and has effectively established his carefully crafted story as the only public version available, and the naive have swallowed it hook, line, and sinker to the point that they now are ridiculing the police, rescue workers, and even the media. Rosenhaus and company are sipping fine wine and laughing at the public. I join them.

That's an interesting take. I should clarify that I am not blaming the police or EMT's, just ESPN and other media that jumped before the facts were in.

Facts? Tell us the facts then. An actual police report that surfaced or the story told by TO and his whack job publicist?

Can we kill this thread already? Or get Smoo in here to spice it up a bit?

I think we need Big Score to chime in and give us his Holiday Inn Express analysis of TOs mental state.
