I'm not that concerned about any tape that ESPN might have at this point, because my guess is that it is entirely circumstantial at best--one of those things that can be interpreted in a lot of ways without context. In other words, there might be a sound byte that if viewed through a certain context could appear damaging, but probably isn't really that impactful.

Which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see ESPN / Schwartz artificially setting things up [per the highlighted text above]. Schwartz has been senationalizing / pontificating about what happened since the beginning. If they have some taped comments or footage from Fine's wife that is circumstantial [we've heard that it might contain her saying "Get over it" or something along those lines]--then what better way to try to attach significance to it by telling us in advance that Fine's wife knew about things?

"Look...we're telling you that Fine's wife knew something, so that's how you--the viewing public--should interpret this tape..."

I qualify all of the above by acknowledging that I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but that would seem to fit the pattern for how ESPN [and Schwartz specifically] have reported on this.
