Shout Out To Bill Simmons For Bullying Christ Mortensen Into Deleting His DeflateGate Tweet
Look I got no dog in this fight. I’ve said since Day 1 that I thought maybe something sketchy was going on but I had no real proof and that any big punishment was a joke because Goodell can’t be trusted, and I stick by that. But the Chris Mortensen tweet, this one.
Had to go. I think we all can agree that it had to go. It’s factually wrong and poor journalism and a joke for all those that care about this profession we share. And that is why I want to personally thank Bill Simmons for bullying Mort into deleting the tweet today. If you didn’t see, Bill came in this morning and started landing haymaker after haymaker on poor Mort (NSFW)
And then poof, just like that Mort’s tweet was gone. So thank you Bill, thank you from all the true journalists out there who understand we must protect the pen, without you and that Mort tweet probably stays up forever, now it’s gone, mission accomplished.
