ESPN already stated that they cannot verify the allegations. So the question IS why run with the fricking story if you can't VERIFY IT!!?



This. Seems pretty shoddy to take a "rumor" and run with it. Cries of tabloid journalism.

So this source was fired for stealing from the Saints? Lol what a credible source you got there ESPN. Good job.



This is not uncommon. Almost all whistle blowers have ties to a company/situation and were fired and have bad blood with said company/employer

It's also amusing Benson "leaked" all this information to the news station. Granted, Benson owns it, but it's not earth shattering news that Benson and Saints are trying to spin this back on ESPN/the sources. Good PR move.

ESPN jumped the gun on Loomis without doing due diligence to determine if the allegations were true.
Now people are alleging that this Landry dude is the informant. I prefer to do what ESPN did not do, and that is to make sure I get the facts correct first.

ESPN has this one guy and someone who worked for him, Fox 8 has:

Right now it does not make sense for Landry to make the allegations. If he did, then he has implicated himself. If he actually wired this as he alleges, then he would get in more trouble than anyone.

It's pretty obvious whoever ratted would have been in on setting up the audio.

The article seems to say that it's Tim Landry and MAYBE another one or two people who worked close to him.

You just gotta consider the sources to the hate-filled comments. While they think they are on high pedestals they haven't a clue how stupid they really are. The Bible cleary states no one is good - no, not one! Thank you Jesus!

I wouldnt take it so personally, KW was a complete arse to every caller. I quite listening to WWL when ever he was on. I got sick of him harassing callers. KW is not that knowledgeable about sports.

Im am in no way taking up or defending Tim Landry. However, before berating the guy Id like to know exactly what he told ESPN. Ive been interviewed by a reporter before and what I told the guy and what he printed in the paper were two totally different things. I would never talk to a reporter about anything controversial with out having my own recording of the conversation.
For example TL could have told ESPN that the saints previous GM had listening devices for the saints team only. ESPN says could ML have changed this to listen to opposing teams too? TL anythings possible. ESPN did ML ever have any head sets on during games? TL sure he listened to an ear bud from a jack on his desk.

So, dude gets fired for stealing, knows his former employer is committing a federal crime, but decides to disclose this information to a scumbag reporter from ESPN who got information from Kenny Wilkerson 8 years after it happened? Not to mention the NFL sends a guy to each stadium who is specifically there to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen?

Kenny Wilkerson then proceeded to mock former WWL broadcaster Buddy Diliberto's speech impediment for five minutes, finishing with "I'm just kidding, we all loved Buddy D."
