I feel like exhibit A should be Peter King's gloating story of stealing a foul ball from a 10 year old kid at a Spring Training game

"The Bills do make football sense. Coach Chan Gailey is perhaps the pro game's best at getting creative with mobile quarterbacks. He's the rare coach who would know what to do with Tebow. He could upgrade the backup position behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. Gailey could create packages for Tebow on the goal line and in short yardage, like the coach once did for Kordell Stewart."

I agree with you to a point, as well. But Gleason was put in that horrible spot not by Pamphilon's release of the tape, but by the fact that Gleason heard those pro-injury comments and did nothing. Just like everyone else. I don't understand how the documentarian gets the attention and Gleason--and tons of other people--skate off without any scrutiny.

Because he's handicapped. Anybody that tries to put any of this on him is going to get vilified for trying to throw a disabled person under the bus. Which is bullshit but there you go.

I don't mind Drew Magary's stuff. I actually think he deserves better than to be writing for loving Deadspin.

I'd like to see Peter King walk 2000 yards in his entire life.

Phone posting but ESPN's ombudsman just wrote an article defending shutting down Grantland and apparently all his sources had no actual connection to grantland. Holly Anderson and some former Grantland writers are going off on Twitter.

So if I want to follow the Falcons more closely, where do I go? Is the AJC as bad with them as they are with the Braves?

*'Bad' in the sense of being a house organ for the team or something close.

Orlando Ledbetter is the Falcons' AJC guy and he's incredibly bland but good with news stuff. As a whole though my perception is that the AJC spends their time writing hate mail to Dimitroff. Jason Kirk is one of the big wigs at SBNation and a Falcons fan so he's a fun follow but The Falcoholic is utter garbage so stay away.

FWIW Kevin Acee is a good Chargers beat guy (Union Tribune) and runs a decent radio show on mighty 1090 that isn't god awful
