Here's something I'd like to know about the coverage of this whole thing...so, did ESPN actually

learn something from the Duke Lacrosse clusterfuck? Or are they just that in bed with the NFL that they agreed to lay off Big Ben?

I think the ombudsman got it right though....to not at least 'report' the fact it happened led to many questions that could have been avoided. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 12:15 2

Yup, they did more fact checking than anyone and made the correct determination. Then, they were shredded for it. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:10 2
- My question though, if they were holding back because they had evidence the story wasn't credible....why didn't they report the contrary evidence? - musubi Aug 19, 12:15
- That's just it though...they've been so horrible with reporting stories without facts that when they actually DO hold back... - Jim Aug 19, 12:13
