Our friends in Bristol will be going over Spygate 50 years fromm now, because it’s far easier that going over the massive discipline issues in the NFL, the farcical officiating in the NBA, the NHL’s persistent death wish, the MLB’s inability to deal with steroids, and the open cesspool that is “big time” college athletics. the good news is that now I know what it is like to be an Italian soccer fan. Minus the killing of opposing fans.

I remember that….”first line in his obituary” nonsense.

Well then, it should be the first line in Jimmy Johnson’s, who admitted to doing the same thing; and the first line in Mike Shanahan’s, who admitted to S.I. that his staff “has the other team’s signals figured out before halftime” of every game.

Ridiculous.

I still hope Bruschi verbally slams Schlereth, Easterbrook, et al, the first chance he gets (off camera, of course).

not to dredge all that crap up again…..HOWEVER, if you remember back to those “spygate” days and the ESPN pudits saying it would “taint” the Patriots forever blah-blah-blah-…….just look at their fawning (well deserved) bio of Bruschi…not one mention of the infamous “spygate”….I still remember Peter King saying “spygate” would be in the 1st paragraph of Belichick’s obituary….PUH-LEESE…..dare I say it?……”Spygate” is for the most part, dead, buried and forgotten….befitting of the most blown out of proportion story in the history of sports media.

You have a better chance of seeing Jeremy Jacobs touching a Stanley Cup.

Money, like politics, makes for strange bedfellows. With careeers and $ at stake, I’m sure they’ll all be best buddies.

Did ESPN and all their goons apologize to his face for calling him and his teammates cheaters?

Jessamy is long gone from 890.

Are you certain that 890 is going to move? All I have read is that the affiliation is going to be on a stronger signal, not necessarily that 890 ownership and management will continue with ESPN radio.

You beat me to it.

I’m hoping that Mr. Bruschi gives Gregggggggg, Schlereth and Jackson a good piece of his mind when he encounters them all for the first time.

E!SPN lost all credibility that they had left when they took that minor infraction and turned it into Watergate, the NFL version.

What we know for certain is that 890 is moving to another frequency in order to increase their signal. Like I said on the other thread regarding ESPNBoston’s startup, if the management team over there had been a little more proactive (knowing that 890 had a weak signal) and sought out another station last year, the sports radio market in Boston might look a lot different right now.

I’ll take back my thoughts on Jessamy & friends if it comes to light that Bristol told them to wait on doing anything until they started these regionalized websites got off the ground.

I was wondering about this as well. I don’t see any stations on the dial that fit a new ESPN affiliate’s needs.
