If you are so inclined and want to stay up, the Boston Herald says it will post John Tomase’s explanation about Spygate and why he ran with his story the day before Super Bowl XLI at midnight tonight. David Scott of Boston Sports Media Watch says he will live blog at his site when the Tomase story is published at Bostonherald.com. David says he will include comments and also conduct a poll as the story is released.
Tomase has come under fire since former New England Patriots videographer Matt Walsh told the NFL this week that there was no tape of the St. Louis Rams’ walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002.
Next, you may have seen this on various blogs and heard it on some sports radio stations. TNT’s Charles Barkley is in a dispute with The Wynn Las Vegas casino. The casino has sued Barkley saying he owes $400,000 in gambling debts. Jeff German of the Las Vegas Sun writes that Barkley will be given a chance to make restitution. For his part, Sir Charles says he will pay it back. Reports of Barkley’s gambling are nothing new. In 2006, he admitted in an ESPN interview that he had lost $10 million gambling saying that it was a problem he wanted to control. The lawsuit alleges Barkley was extended a total four $100,000 markers during a two day period in October.
