The Worldwide Leader in Investigative Reporting

ESPN was tipped off to Bernie Fine's child molestation *eight* years ago and sat on the story. Not enough tattoos, apparently.

Ramzy, I think you left out a word in the title:

"The Worldwide Leader in Selective Investigative Reporting"

ps. - I bet Laura Fine has at least one tattoo.

Keep Calm and Ignore the Trolls.

I haven't read all of the details of the story (i had my fill from PSU), but were there new boys within the last eight years?

if so, would those boys have a legal case against ESPN for not bringing this info forward?

How is ESPN any different than Paterno?

They did exactly what they have accused the PSU administration of doing.

Now they are in full spin cover our ass mode.

Is anyone really that surprised by this?  ESPN clearly has an agenda that doesn't include any semblance of journalistic integrity.  If sitting on a story for 8 years improves their bottom line, thats what they do.

ESPN has a vested interest in Big East basketball just like they do SEC football.

No surprise here.

Honestly, they could've ran with the Penn State story much earlier than they did, but only started talking about it when things hit the fan.  Clearly, last spring when they were covering all things Tatoo and Tressel related, they could've ran with the Penn State disaster.  Only when it became a topic that was much bigger than sports and all the national media started covering did they decide to talk about it non stop.

It wouldn't surprise me that ESPN has the real facts and truth about the sCam Newton story about all the money he and his dad took and will wait 8 years from now to report all of it.
