Doesn't mean there aren't any.

I don't really care what you accept to be honest. I just find it funny that a guy that was robbing someone is coming out about getting paid right before he goes on trial and this woman is using it to get hits on her blog.

After the article’s publication, it became apparent that Roberts had misquoted and stretched the words of former Auburn football players, including linebacker Neiko Thorpe, defensive end Mike Blanc and linebacker Darren Bates. The players took to Twitter to defend themselves and accuse Roberts of her questionable reporting.

With players denying the validity of Roberts’ quotes and interpretation of the program, either Roberts or the parties involved are lying or covering up their involvement. With McNeil’s trial next week, the coincidence of the publication this week seems unlikely.

Or she could've just sucked at her job. She really nailed that Duke lacrosse thing.

So she would post a bogus story with bogus quotes. . .opening herself up to outright libel. . .destroying her longstanding journalistic credibility

. . .to open up HER alma mater to a few football penalties?

Sounds good to me. Yeah just as plausible as anything else being posted.

I'm not saying she didn't get fired. I'm saying she is an idiot if she fabricated the whole thing because it obviously wouldn't last.

If it is false she could be sued

I agree that she may have fabricated it all. I'm just skeptical. That would be a dead end street

It's her blog.

Is it not credible because it is a blog? Be careful how you answer.

Ok her blog. Pokahoho.com. We got it. Her career is obviously on the way back up. It looks to be trending that way. She's gone from SI to pokahoho because she's such a great journalist.

Well, obviously if she didn't have the blog, she'd have to turn to blowing random guys in alleys for crack.

At least that seems to be the logical progression of this particular attempt to discredit, anyway.





FULL DISCLOSURE: I still haven't read her blog. She probably wrote it in order to generate enough hits to pay the power bill this month.

So leaving a job to go on your own now makes you less credible. . .or less successful?

Usually people who attempt to assassinate characters in order to... wait. What does smearing her accomplish, exactly? Seems to me that what she wrote is either true or not true, and bullshite Internet posts won't change the outcome at all.

Anyway, usually people who do that aren't very bright. Go easy on him, Roaad.

Clearly the millions from her book barely covered her addiction to porn.
