Florio pisses me off so much because he's a bad reporter and a bad writer. Peter King has the tools to be great at both - his problem is self-indulgence, not talent. Florio is just sort of a not-very-bright guy who lucked into a prominent position. Terry Bradshaw Expressway indeed
Florio is basically the Star Jones of the sports world.

I love how so many people think professional athletes need more positive reinforcement than a four year old. NFL QB's must be like fragile little butterflies. Maybe the Dolphins should even give Tannehill a mini-Lombardi inscribed with "QB Contest Winner" at the end of camp.

Yeah, I was poisoned with the link earlier, but there's a few things that are worthwhile:
quote:ESPN2's Numbers Never Lie had a chance to be something unique, an interesting sports analytics-based show with a panel of nontraditional, smart television people delivering interesting content for the Nate Silver-loving crowd. Instead, it quickly morphed into another unwatchable debate program between ex-jocks. Sad.
I blame QBR.

Part of me hopes that not only does it snow, but it's a warm weather team vs a cold weather team and the warm weather team wins. That, or the cold weather team blows them out, causing mass controversy forever. But preferably the first, so that we get more cold weather superbowls.
I hope it snows two feet and a giant sheet of frozen snow lets loose from the stadium, landing in the press box and killing all within.
Draw that. Peter King tweeting on his phone about the subpar latte he just received for free while white doom falls from above.

Bill Barnwell is basically everything Easterbrook wishes he could be.

It's just dumb to pretend that only the Patriots and Broncos will end up in the Superbowl because they're early favorites. Both those team's quarterbacks have missed entire seasons because of injuries. Father time is due to catch up with either of them. Divisions turn over every year. He throws bones at Joe Flacco and the Ravens are the ones who won the last AFC Superbowl.

I used to really appreciate TMQ. His schtick has been wearing a little thin for a few years now, but back in the days of Page 2, he and Simmons really were something interesting. I'm not sure if that's a more stark indictment of the state of football commentary at the time or me from 10+ years ago.
He kinda, sorta was a precursor to what Bill Barnwell does in some of his columns, except without all the methodology and analysis. Barnwell will cite specific probabilities to critique poor coaching choices. Easterbrook would call some coach a lunkhead for punting on 4th down at the 45, and then turn around and rail against someone going for it in the same scenario the next week because it didn't work. All of Easterbrook's criticisms were outcome oriented, which is dumb.

You never saw Bart Scott or Richard Sherman answer questions? I'm pretty sure the Sherman rant started with the basic question "Tell me about that last play."
I'm pretty sure Sherman was gonna launch that rant regardless of the question asked. I don't think it was Andrews probing questions.

Mike Florio posted:David Letterman opted not to try to generate any new information from Patriots coach Bill Belichick regarding the #DeflateGate scandal. Letterman nevertheless may have generated some new information from Belichick.
First, a little clarity about my opinions on the situation. Even though Letterman is a comedian, he hosts a talk show. Which is premised on guests talking. Typically about issues currently relevant to them.
Indeed, Letterman and Belichick talked about #DeflateGate. But Letterman’s comments and questions flowed from the idea that it’s all nonsense, a dead issue that never should have been an issue, and/or an outright fabrication hatched by the NFL team that plays in Letterman’s home state. This overlooks the fact that the NFL currently is investigating whether the Patriots tampered with the footballs.
It’s possible that one of Belichick’s responses accident made news regarding the pending investigation.
Said Belichick after Letterman suggested that the Colts deflated the football that linebacker D’Qwell Jackson intercepted, “We’re gonna bring you in to testify when we get the investigation next month.”
By using the phrase “when we get the investigation next month,” Belichick possibly was referring generally, and a bit inartfully, to the report of the Ted Wells investigation, which based on Wells’ prior statements reasonably can be expected to be released in March. It’s also possible that Belichick let the cat out of the bag about a hearing that will be held in March.
The league office offered no insight on the question of whether Belichick was saying that an actual hearing will happen next month.
“Don’t know what it means,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told PFT by email. “It’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.”
Which means that the wait for further news on the status of the investigation continues. With all leaks dried up since Super Sunday, it’s likely that there will be no further information about the investigation until the final report is issued.

Mike Florio posted:Grigson has a bit of a history with the Pats
As the football-following world waits (and wait . . . and waits) for the Second Annual AFC East Ted Wells Report, there’s an interesting wrinkle regarding the genesis of the allegation that the Patriots were deflating footballs.
Last week, Colts G.M. Ryan Grigson admitted that he alerted the league of the team’s suspicions the week prior to the game, contradicting prior reports and explanations from the league that suggested the issue first came up during the AFC title game. The popular view had been that, unlike his predecessor Bill Polian, Grigson had no specific reason to be suspicious or resentful of the Patriots.
But maybe Grigson did. He arrived in Indy from Philadelphia, where Grigson worked for the Eagles during a Super Bowl XXXIX loss to New England. Three years earlier, Grigson worked for the Rams during a Super Bowl XXXVI loss to the Patriots.
So Grigson quite possibly believes the Patriots previously took a pair of Super Bowl rings from him with methods that may have been beyond the realm of the rules. Though no specific accusations ever were made about Super Bowl XXXIX, the win came during the same window in which former Panthers G.M. Marty Hurney has openly wondered whether a “culture of cheating” existed. As to Super Bowl XXXVI, many still believe that the Patriots videotaped the St. Louis walk-through practice prior to the game, even though the Boston Herald retracted the report with a front-page story not long after the story first emerged.
Throw in the fact that Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk and future Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner continue to have suspicions about that game, and it’s easy to wonder whether Grigson regards the Patriots as a team that took multiple Super Bowl rings from him.
None of that affects whether cheating occurred in this specific case. But it shows that NFL V.P. of game operations (and former Jets employee) Mike Kensil may not have been the only person with a specific bias against the Patriots, and a specific desire to catch them in the act.

The hospital that record came from will be facing a (potentially) huge fine under HIPAA guidelines. The person who leaked this could also be facing a $50k-1.5mil fine.
But what if it was like some janitor who happened to snatch a photo with his phone when someone's back was turned? They can't account every scenario can they?

Mike Florio.
quote:Throughout much of the #DeflateGate controversy, Patriots fans have pointed to connections between the Jets and the league office to explain both the leak of false PSI information to ESPN and the fire-aim-ready approach to an “independent” investigation aimed not at getting to the truth but at getting to a conclusion that the Patriots cheated.
But there’s a connection between the team who made the complaint regarding deflated balls and the league office hiding in plain site at the team’s website. It’s a connection that is gratuitously touted in the biography of Colts Vice President of Football Operations Jimmy Raye III.
Here’s the last line of the bio: “Raye’s father, Jimmy Raye II, played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1969 and is currently a senior advisor to Troy Vincent who is the executive vice president of football operations for the NFL.”
Apart from the fact that it makes little sense to tout the credentials of Jimmy Raye III by pointing out that his father serves as a senior adviser to Troy Vincent, the fact remains that the father of the Colts Vice President of Football Operations serves as a senior adviser to the NFL’s Executive Vice President of Football Operations. It’s unknown whether the father of the Colts Vice President of Football Operations provided any actual advice to the NFL’s Executive Vice President of Football Operations regarding the #DeflateGate scandal, but it would make sense for Vincent, who hasn’t held the job for very long, to seek advice from someone regarding the best way to handle an unprecedented controversy regarding the inflation of footballs.
And if he needed any advice, wouldn’t he look to his senior advisor?
On one hand, I realize that plenty of cross pollination happens between the league office and its various team, given that the expertise necessary to operate the league will in large part come from folks who have successfully operated teams. But this approach will lead to a stew of conflicting interests that can manifest themselves in all sorts of ways.
Most potential conflicts of interest aren’t readily known by the public. Amazingly, nearly seven months after the AFC title game, the Colts continue to openly acknowledge the existence of a clear link — and potential conflict of interest — between their front office and the league office.
