Charles Robinson is clearly much better than Thayer Evans, and I don't think the SI story on OK State is really a big deal, but this isn't fair. The vast majority of sports scandals do not have huge paper trails because it is in everyone's incentive to have the paper trail as obscure/minimal as possible.

I think it's incredibly fair. ESPN, in one DAY, found more documnetary evidence that refutes the story than SI did in 10 months. That just screams how lazy of a reporter Evans is. He couldn't be bothered to call the registrar's office. He's making some serious allegation and he has, quite literally, no physical evidence. The fact that another report, in a day, found some just demonstrates how awful Evans' reporting is.

He deserves every bit of scorn he gets for this. It's a remarkably thin article, especially considering its allegations.

looking at his past history and how he has twisted shite to make things sound salacious it's a wonder he was ever hired by SI at all.
