Quote:I think the issue with Mark Long is that he stated an opinion and that opinion got reported as fact, not completely by him. Dempsey gave that story legs. So did Alfie and other outlets that picked up a tweet about Long's comments during a radio show interview. In the end, it was just Long's opinion. He tried to spin it in a way that implied he was getting that info from insiders, but clearly that wasn't the case. As soon as his feet were put to the fire, he couldn't get away from the story fast enough.


To their credit, most of the media in Jacksonville, including the official television station and MOST of the official radio guys didn't touch this story. Same with the team website. Oehser couldn't verify anything from the story.


So, it came down to 1 guy just speculating, and a couple of others looking to get that breaking story they could run with to generate clicks and ratings.
I mean, Dempsey asked him if he is putting his name on it and if it was his opinion or if he had information. He a least followed up before tweeting it. This is really on Long.
