If you were unlucky enough to be around this site during Camgate 2010 then you should be very familiar with Mr. Evans. Looks like karma has finally caught up with him. Finally getting exposed for what he is.

quote:

In a five-part series called “The Dirty Game,” writers for Sports Illustrated portrayed Oklahoma Fellowship of Christian Athletes representative John Talley as an “overzealous ‘booster’ who made systematic improper financial contributions to OSU’s football players,” Talley alleges in the lawsuit.


quote:

Talley claims the allegations published last September “were false, lacked factual basis and were printed and published with actual malice.”


quote:

Named as defendants in the lawsuit are Sports Illustrated’s parent company, Time Inc., as well as the writers of the articles, George Dohrmann and Thayer Evans.

Deadspin It amazes me that SI hired this guy.

Jason Whitlock went on the Oklahoma City Sports Animal radio show today to talk about the first part of Sports Illustrated's five-part investigation into Oklahoma State University. He spent a good chunk of time talking shite about Thayer Evans, a former colleague of Whitlock's and one half of the investigative reporting team that authored the report. Whitlock did not pull any punches.

Here he is questioning Thayer's credibility as a journalist. (Transcription via Tulsa World):

Having worked with Thayer Evans at Fox Sports, having followed his work for some time, I am completely and utterly flabbergasted that a legitimate news outlet would allow Thayer Evans to be involved in some type of investigative piece on college football that tears down a program, and particularly one that tears down Oklahoma State when it is no secret what a huge, enormous, gigantic Oklahoma homer Thayer Evans is. This is just incredible. Knowing the lack of competence that’s there with Thayer Evans, knowing the level of simplemindedness that’s there with Thayer Evans, to base any part of the story on his reporting is mind-boggling.

When I learned Thayer Evans was involved, I just said, there’s no way I’ll read this because there’s no reason to trust this reporter on anything of any substance.
Ya burnt, Evans! But wait, Whitlock isn't done yet:

He’s simpleminded. He’s a hack that can’t write. This isn’t personal, I promise. I have no reason to dislike Thayer Evans personally, and I don’t. But I’ve read enough of his work this guy isn’t qualified for this job and by now Sports Illustrated and anybody else should be well aware of this.
OK, Whitlock. I think we get the point. Thayer Evans sucks. Oh wait, there's more:

Let me end by saying this and I honestly mean this without malice. It wouldn’t shock me if Thayer Evans couldn’t spell "cat" and I say in all seriousness.
