alfie explains above..

That's a pretty poorly written article even by Alfie standards. 

 

I'm not sure why Alfie even bothered to write it other than it sort of seems like he's doing damage control.  I guess he's trying to deal with the fact that, like Dempsey, he was hoodwinked into believing Long's claims without doing any real research.  It happens when you're trying to be the first to break a story. 

 

To his credit, Dempsey continued to dig after hearing Long's comments before, but even he got hooked into this and ran with it like he had some breaking news story.  His tweet over the weekend "confirming" the Blackmon story created a mess that everyone is now running away from.
