Quote:When people in the media already have known and apparent biases it really sticks out when they falsely report news or push news to fulfill a certain agenda. FBT and a few others including myself had been saying all along that it's more likely Blackmon can't even apply until July. So, for whatever reason Mark chose to keep hammering the drum on this when he knew it was not true and even after Dempsey told him to attach his name to it. Mark Long has zero credibility in my opinion and this whole thing just speaks to that.

 

There was no story to begin with.  He created one with his speculation.  At the end of the day, it's becoming clear Blackmon hasn't applied for reinstatement, which makes complete sense to me considering that July 2014 incident.  He's simply not eligible to do so yet.  If that speculation is correct, he should be able to apply for reinstatement some time later this month or next depending on how the league handled that incident.
