Message: [QUOTE="JJReddawg, post: 83729, member: 226"] In seeing all the reports that are broadcast on ESPN (i.e. OTL & Sportscenter) and how they only seem to report one side of this story makes me believe they have some agenda. Forget about them being behind in the Penn State situation. Even if they were trying to be in the forefont on this one, they would still report more from the previous investigation and why it was never aired; kind of like the Post-Standard's report on why they didn't report it. I also believe more face time would be given to former players coming out and supporting Bernie Fine. So, why would ESPN and their legal team continue to allow the one sided reporting? 1.) A lawsuit from either Fine or Syracuse would appear to be unlikely as this would bring the this whole situation up again and they would have to prove that these events did not take place. It appears to me the only way that would happen is if either of the accussers came out and stated they were lying about everything. 2.) Could their possible motive be to devalue Syracuse University as a whole. Whether these allegations are true or not, putting this out there does not look good for the Univeristy. (i.e. Isiah Whitehead) So why would ESPN attempt to be devaluing Syracuse? Could it possibly be so that when the ACC goes to ESPN to renegotiate their contract, the value of adding Syracuse is no longer as much as it once was? It seems as if the Penn State situation gave them a perfect opportunity to bring up a dead investigation from 8 years ago. **The following is complete speculation and should be taken as nothing more** In another note, I read on here that someone had talked about Dr. Drew having a discussion on lying and that sometimes the act occurred, but was usually done by someone else. So let's say that molestation occurred to both Bobby Davis and Mike Lang. Is it a coincidence that they are step brothers? Could it have possibly been the Father/Step Father who committed the acts against the two of them? He passed away in April of 2010. Did Mike Lang feel obligated to say something about his father, but never did? Was he bitter about never saying anything and felt he needed to get this off of his chest to clear his "demons"? Did his step brothers allegations against Bernie Fine, someone who he was connected to and thought of as a fatherly figure, provide him the perfect opportunity to clear his "demons"? [/QUOTE]
