Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

ESPN on Feldman: "These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along."

ESPN is claiming on their MediaZone site that Bruce Feldman was never disciplined and that he has resumed his normal duties.  Unfortunately, the site is being hammered and I am getting 504 errors every time I try to load it.  I saw it just long enough to see the statement, so the gist is correct.

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it, does the rumor of its fall make a sound?  They sure do on Twitter.

More when it becomes available, but I am very suspicious of ESPN's claims.  The original reporting on this was done by a very well-connected blogger who almost never gets it wrong.  Not only that, the length of time between the original report and the denial that it ever happened is 18 hours (!)  That makes sense to nobody.

I think what we have here is abject capitulation on the part of the Worldwide Leader.  I wonder if anyone will follow up and get the back story.  I am absolutely dying to hear it.

[UPDATE]  Here is the statement in its entirety:

"There was never any suspension or any other form of disciplinary action. We took the time to review his upcoming work assignments in light of the book to which he contributed and will manage any conflicts or other issues as needed.   Bruce has resumed his assignments."

Just one question: How do you "resume" doing something that, according to the statement, you never stopped doing to begin with?  Just askin'.

Maybe i can upset the cart by talking about the Reds-Cardinals series.

OK:
You Cardinal fans, your mama - yeah your mama, she’s so ugly I’m not even going to bother googling “your mama” jokes.

Nah, that doesn’t work.

Glenn must be going crazy trying to get the ship out of this windless July. It’ll pass. Maybe someone will get arrested. We can only hope. :-)

We’ll start getting some football news next week. UK BB released it’s pre-SEC schedule yesterday, I think. That’ll help.

I asked them your question, Glenn

Even though the comments are turned off, I asked ESPN your question Glenn. How can you resume something you had never stopped?
Not waiting for an answer…

They aren't answering anyone.

Unsurprising.
