They'll never quit, will they. Um, Mike.....the league has come flat out and said that it was NOT a violation of the rules for the Pats' video crew to be there at that time!!! So we're back to what, exactly, did the Pats do wrong that day? Answer: NOTHING....your boy at the Herald was wrong, plain and simple. He wasn't "a little right", any more than a woman can be a little bit pregnant. And of course, then the topic turned to Martz questioning whether Walsh was there "in Patriots' gear", and because 2+2 must always equal 5, Felger then said, "OK, so is Martz saying that Walsh watched the practice but tried to hide his identity as a Pats' employee by not wearing their gear?" Unreal. Is it any wonder my most people hate the media??

It's the narrative that the want so much to be true. If the narrative is a round hole and their story is a square peg, by golly they'll hammer it until it fits...or otherwise massage it. Exactly.

The content of this apology should have addressed his motivation. And no reasonable human being is going to buy that the timing was a coincidence.

That's why he hasn't been suspended or reprimanded IMO. The editor is just as culpable as Tomase here. That’s why he hasn’t been suspended or reprimanded IMO.

I mean, out here in the real world his desk would already be occupied by the next up-and-comer. One can only conclude that the Herald likes the stir-up and thinks Tomase is good for the bottom line.
