[...] As suspected, this entire report might be typical Mortenson bullshit. From Bengals.com (thank to The Mayor): [Marvin] Lewis also denied an ESPN report that the Bengals [...]

Is it me or is ESPN turning more to tabloid or sensational journalism. From indepth discussions about Tony Romo’s Mexico vacation to over analysis of Tom Brady’s boot. Why can’t they just stick to sports and leave all of the bs to tabloids.

I was so happy to read the frustrations other sports fans have with Chris Mortensen. Watching a “breaking news” report from him is like watching the varying caucaus results from FOX News or CNN. I’ve never seen any reporter be so consistenly incorrect without ever once acknowledging that he was wrong or made the shit up. I’ve almost learned to take the opposite approach to everything Mortensen says, when the ticker reports a breaking news story attributed to him. From Bill Parcells, Lane Kiffin, The Raiders, to Chad Johnson. This guys is less accurate than a meterologist. Joining Mortensen in the oops I’m an idiot category. Kirk Herbstreit & his Les Miles to Michigan bombshell. Nice work Kirk. Like Mortensen, I don’t recall ever hearing a “my bad” or retraction come out of his mouth. If anyting, I think he learned his lesson, and we are all better off, living without any more of this golden nuggets from his “highly trusted” sources.

My 2 cents.

Mort’s a Parcells buddy now. That whole Falcons thing was designed for leverage with the Dolphins - aka an extra ~$250,000. I bet Mort gets more than just a Shula’s Steakhouse gift certificate this Christmas

I just heard that ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is reporting that Big Daddy Drew of KSK is reporting that ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is a douche that makes up most of his reports without any real information.

@ barry - Apparently the Dolphins do play a ton of dominoes in and around the locker room, team flights, etc. (I guess the Cuban influence in Miami is strong).

But the point of this story is that Jason Allen, the oft maligned first round pick from a couple of years ago apparently isn’t a very good player, and his teammates noticed part of the reason may be stupidity, when while playing dominoes, they often have to tell him, “No, Jason. You aren’t allowed to do that. We tell you this everytime we play”, because he screws up so much.

ESPN’s Chris Mortenson is reporting that he may or may not create his stories from what he can put together in his Alpha-Bits cereal, or Cheerios if available.
