One of my roommates at SU is a lawyer so I texted him asking if he thinks Bernie would have a case; his thoughts are that ESPN has two "sources," they waited until they had corroboration to report on it, and it's impossible to prove ESPN knew that the allegations are false, so he doesn't believe the case has a lot of legs.
He's a smart guy, working for a pretty high profile law firm, so I take his opinion on this very seriously.
Just throwing it out there with all of the talk of lawsuits. It definitely sucks if he can't sue ESPN, but at least if proven false he can likely take action against Davis.
