Glazer: Favre helped Detroit gameplan vs. Pack

[HarveyWallbangers]

I am assuming John Holmes or Ron Jeremy corroborated it....

Yes, I believe they both did.

I needed this. Keep it up.

I hear Bambi Woods has the inside scoop on the Cowboys.

[packinpatland]

I really wish we could go back to the Woodward and Bernstein days, when reporters substantiated their facts.........

Say what? I guess i must have missed them naming "deep throat."

I'm talking about when they broke the scandal......they checked, double checked their sources before they wrote the article.........didn't you see the movie?

Holmes thought long and hard about it before confirming and Jeremy stated "You bet my hairy ass she was deepthroat!".

And, you have proof that Glazer didn't. Look, he may not be 100% accurate, but my gut tells me he wouldn't put something out there like this unless he had done his homework. This isn't close to an erroneous report of a teams talking trade.

Movie: I was lost in the dreamy Redford. Amazing how similar he and hoffman are to woodward and bernstein.

I thought Hoffman was a perfect Bernstein............Redford-Woodward.........not so much.........it was that tacky corduroy suit.

The onus should be on him to be 100% correct, not for the public to ferret out the truth or lies.

I already stated i believe the story. It is your job to prove that he is lying. Or, do you approach all journalists from the position that they are lying until they prove to you that they aren't?

What Glazer reported is no different than WandB did utilizing Deepthroat. Glazer has multiple sources.

[BobDobbs]

If we had just been so stringent about the veracity of our sources a few years back, maybe we wouldn't have listened to anything out of Ahmed Chalabi's mouth.

They did indeed name Linda Lovelace, it just didn't make the front page with the country in crisis and all that.

Mmm, of course. The other Deep Throat...

I don't think Glazer should be expected to out his sources just because some Favre worshipers are upset about the reports.

[cpk1994]

All this shit is laughable

If you listen to ESPN radio or watch their telecasts you might have noticed that they are not reporting on the incident. WHY ?

Bottom line is
Glazer from Fox said his soures tell him it's 100% true
ESPN football guys say their sources tell them it's inaccurate

One more step to the bottom line

If you don't care for Favre you will most likely believe FOX

If you do still have a liking for Favre you will most likely believe ESPN

Or ESPN isn't reporting it becuae they got seriously out scooped. Also, The NFL guys at ESPN(Mort, Gene W.) are not about to upset their golden goose.
They are not about to report that makes Favre look bad, lest they lose those insider "texts" they get from Brett. ESPN has been known for sometime to be a heavily Pro-Favre zone. And of course they are going to say its inaccurate becuase they got out scooped. Basically, ESPN's silence is deafening becuase it enhances the notion that ESPN licks Favre's boots, warranted or not.

[Scott Campbell]

I'm not sure I buy that. This is a big story, and if there's any truth to it at all, they'll eventually have to report on it.

I guess you are right, but I do believe that Mort and Gene W. aren't about to jeopardize their insider standing with Brett, so don't look for them to be the ones reporting it.

It is very odd (telling?) that ESPN hasn't even reported on this. Like the allegation had never even occurred.

Glazer was the first person to report Favre's retirement, and his comeback, and a host of other things. He's generally regarded as the best investigative reporter in the business. Much has been made about how he sleeps with his cellphone plugged in his ear. A highly respected journalist.

So are we to believe that he'd put all that on the line and ostensibly ruin his career by making some rumor up about the most beloved player in the league? I would doubt that.

I think there is some truth to Glazer's report. "How Much?" is the real question.
