ESPN Explains Syracuse Coverage

[HoustonCuse]

This is dog poo. They had no way to verify that the voice was Laurie Fine's?? Are you kidding me? What is she Pablo Escobar? Was she in hiding in some third world country? It took ESPN almost the same amount of time to identify Laurie Fine's voice as it took to get Bin Laden for christs sake.

Sounds good to me. The one item that struck me was that they had a source tell them that SU was going to re-open the case. Why was that? I thought they were blind sided by the ESPN story and the 2nd accuser?

I think other reports have said that the SPD were provided the audio tape back in 2003, but that didn't change their ruling that the SOL had run out.

I haven't been able to find anything about the tape being passed to the Syracuse PD in 2003. Hypothetically speaking, let's say it was never given to them. If Bobby Davis created the tape in 2002 after being told that the SOL had expired, was he also morally obligated to pass the tape on to the Syracuse PD? If ESPN is being held to a moral standard for not providing the authorities with the tape, should Bobby Davis not be held to that same level so more children weren't put in harms way?

One answer...Penn State....

bs. They only thought to look for audio to match to after they "re-engaged?"

That all seems reasonable and plausible to me.

I disagree.

I find it very odd ESPN would sideline such a damning tape. How hard could it have been to get Laurie's voice? All you have to do is pretend to do a story on long time assistant coaches, and boom, there is your evidence. You wait for an internet video? Come fricking on.

It also seems appropriate to hand the tape over to the police, or the university. Even if you don't trust it, let them make their own judgments.

Spot on.
