Shula Comments and the Media's Continued Stupidity

In an article that actually defends the Patriots from Don Shula's idiotic comments, Yahoo! Sports Dan Wetzel writes: "New England was trying to get a real-time, in-game advantage." This is in reference to the video taping rule violation.

Well, when you discover that underground bunker (or conference room) that the Patriots had set up with a bunch of geniuses decrypting football signs and relaying them back to the sideline at real time (or even, during the game), let me know.

To Dan Wetzel and the rest of the moronic press: JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY IT DOESN'T MAKE IT SO. The commissioner himself said the Patriots never intended to use this for a "real-time, in-game advantage."

How can sports journalism in this country be this pathetic?

Sports media in this country has never really been held to the same standard as any other media. I liken it to be closer to Access Hollywood/Perezhilton.com. In this case, it also stems from the talk and call-in shows needing material to last. It is frustrating as a fan to hear the same stuff discussed by morons. I no longer have a good source for sports news. I have begun to rely on blogs and what I see with my own eyes. With all of our varius media the adage is true...700 channels and nothing (of substance) is on. Even in New England, you struggle to find any reliable source on the teams in the area.
