Time to Ley his head down and relax

I like ESPN. I watch it. Appreciate that Syracuse gets lots of money from them.

Have been disappointed by a relative lack of journalistic integrity from ESPN for a while now. Disappointed their radio shows and Sports Center have evolved into what appear to be promotional vehicles for the content they own.

But I have never been disappointed in Bob Ley.

Great parting note. Congrats on your retirement. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

Bob Ley was at the forefront of peddling the Bernie Fine nonsense, and that's a big stain on his legacy for me.

Is he the last of the original ESPN guys?

Agree 100% -- CTO has a story about this, I believe.

I still want to know what happened to Bernie Fine and why this story went away soooo quietly? Was he wrongly outed? did the university pay him to go away after they fired him, for essentially nothing (if all the accusers were grifters and full of ). I give Syracuse credit for handling this like a big corporation and paying whatever to make a salacious story die quietly.

That’s how I’ll always remember him.

Not disagreeing with you about Ley, but I do want to point out that most of this board believed most of the Bernie stuff until later.

If the board did believe that, then most of the blame lies with Ley and his propping up of a flimsy accusation that had been investigated years prior and presenting it as the next Jerry Sandusky. It was irresponsible journalism by Ley and ESPN, who was hoping to cash in on a salacious story after dropping the ball on the Penn State story.

I was a big ley fan but his coverage of the Bernie fine situation really rubbed me the wrong way.

The puns & double entendre in this post are exceptional.

Bravo.

You have a different memory of it (the "board" reaction) than do I. I put quotes around board because I don't think you could consider us a single entity, particularly where the Bernie Fine situation is concerned. Opinions and viewpoints ran the gamut and fan reactions were definitively normal given the gravity of the accusations and the murkiness of the facts.

I think “most” is a bit hyperbolic.
