Nothing personal, I know you don't hide your identity but why don't you have to substantiate these statements you make? Gene DeFillipo and Frank Spaziani are real people with families, responsibilities and reputations. How can you or I come along and make statements about them that may not be true with out any proof? This is the whole problem with the media. Someone makes a statement about someone that may not be accurate and the burden of proof is on the accused instead of the accuser.
Because he can't publicize his sources... this isn't rocket science.
No, it's not rocket science, it's unsubstantiated irresponsible character assassination of employees of Boston College that reflects poorly on the institution as a whole. It's the old "when did you stop beating your wife?" question. ATL definitly has something to gain by riding this wave. I am sure he gets more eyes on his blog, name and advances his career dreams of being the next Mike Farrell by publicizing these "facts". Put up or shut up!
I don't even know where to start with this, but let me first state that Gene, Spaz and Rogers are all public figures. I am not a lawyer but commenting on their job performance and challenging their public statements is pretty fair game. As for the "real people, with real lives" argument Jags, Skinner, Inglese, Jim Turner, and Jack Bicknell Jr are all real people, with real live and real families, whom Gene D lied about publicly and privately to serve his own agenda.
If I was unwelcome, unwanted or doing harm to BC, then the school would not come to visit me at my home in Atlanta every year, would not to take my money and would certainly not host me at events and ask me to be part of committees.
I have no desire to be Mike Farrell. If anything one of the reasons Scout was such a flame out for me was my unwillingness to chase recruits.
I would love to say who told me. It is not the same person who told me about Ryan Day if that makes any difference. Do these people have agendas? Of course. Am I being used by people who don't like the current situation? Of course.
The situation sucked from the beginning and is only getting worse. The two guys most responsible for this screwed up situation are the co-dependents running our football program.
The reason I started blogging is because I was disgusted how much the media (including EA) covered for TOB after the Syracuse loss. So my MO hasn't really changed -- when something stinks I will say it does. Blauds wrote as scathing an article as he could given his relationship with Spaz and his need to fly on BC's planes. If you think this situation is not fucked up, you are wearing blinders.
