mortenson is the one that broke the shanahan story I know harry reported it but he wasn’t the first. If no rumors ever got reported what would people in sports talk about? just box scores and stats? I guess in that case no one should ever talk about possible free agent or draft rumors becuase there aren’t facts to back them up they are just rumors? Also jack reported that he did not seek the guy out on the message boards. 2 people that knew the gentlemen emailed jack he then sought out the guy who said he was flipped off. again I’m not saying it’s true but you can’t just rip a guy for reporting something that was told to him as long as he’s not saying it’s a fact which he didn’t. He simply just reported the story.
It was never reported as a fact, just simply was reported that a long team season ticket holder said it was what happened to him at the game.
I’m not saying he gave the fan the finger because I doubt he did. That article is more a rip of jack harry though than it is looking into what may have actually happened. And in reality it wasn’t jack harry who broke the news about shanahan it was chris mortenson on espn who jack cited as a source then espn withdrew it later.
Also Jack did not seek the person out originally, 2 fans emailed him after the game jack then asked them for the fan who said he was flipped off’s info and simply reported what the fan said. He didn’t say it to be fact just simply what was told to him by the fan.
I don’t always agree with jack harry but I can’t just say he made up the story or anything either. He reported something that was told to him and agree or disagree with it all he did was report a story. To completely discredit a story simply because he is the one that reported it is just as bad as you say he is.
