Meyer is getting screwed

[WizardHawk]

He has all the information from a report. So back to my statement, if there was a cover-up McMurphy would not even had the information from the report. Whether he has a copy or not.

You are all hung up on this notion that it has to be made up or otherwise doesn't exist because he himself hasn't put a copy out for the public to see. We do not know if he ever actually had possession of said document. We only know that he said it existed. Until he is asked to present it and responds, we do not, and will not know how he came to make that statement. No one can say he was lying or it was false or he was given bad information until that time.

 

[WizardHawk]

that was one of his edits.....Theres quite a few reasons people are questioning his reports now. And not just OSU fans

Every single edit is still available online. You can see the entire history of each thing he has posted. Show us where he said he physically had possession of said document.

 

[WizardHawk]

So we cant talk abour waiting till the end of the investigation, you are literally are doing the same just taking more of McMurphy’s side...as proven to everyone not a reliable source. There is nothing to talk about here. You are going in circles...over and over.

Are you drunk? Those are English words you used, however they do not create a cohesive sentence.

What the fuck are you on about?

I'm not taking anyone's side and haven't since the start. I challenged you twice to show me where I'm wrong with that and you just bitched out and hid like usual. Stop being a pussy and stand up for your words for once.

Simply saying we need more than just assumptions before making blanket claims, about McMurphy, Meyer, your AD, or ANYONE in this case isn't taking a side.

There has been WAY too many hypocritical bullshit strawman nonsense thrown out and claimed as facts by everyone for and against Meyer. I couldn't care less which way it ends up and have said many many times I expect nothing in the end to happen to Meyer.

Now run along back under the rock you normally hide under.

McMurphy must be drunk he has yet to edit a cohesive story.....

 

[TheRobotDevil]

He already had that gig lined up before this broke, but tell yourself this was all a fabricated lie to get a job all you like. You have your mind made up before the facts are in and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

I won't be passing judgement on anyone until the FACTS are in with the official reports. You are free to continue your bias as you see fit.

Fwiw McMurphey negotiated after his first report . And was hired 2 days ago. If you’re going to argue just to argue. Please don’t waste my time. The details of his “gig” have been well documented. Unless they’ve been edited... Thanks in advance but I’m going with the highly qualified investigation team. And actual facts and reliable sources without the edits. I’ll update you then

Ok, more lies and assumptions by you. I guess we should just expect that now.

This was posted on Aug 3. It details how and when he was contacted about this job. Read it and then I'll expect your full and complete retraction and correction shortly.

Here, I'll save you the trouble of going to read it....

In December 2017, Steve Levy credited McMurphy on-air during a bowl game for breaking the Scott Frost to Nebraska story. Levy, who McMurphy says is one of the nicest people at ESPN, accidentally said “our own Brett McMurphy,” on the telecast, when in fact McMurphy had been technically unemployed for several months. (Levy later messaged McMurphy apologizing for the slip-up.)

But the mention turned out to come at the perfect moment. That same night, a higher up at Stadium, a sports media outlet that focuses on video, happened to be watching a game on ESPN. Looking to move into the reporting arena, the Stadium employee emailed McMurphy that same night, asking what he was up to. In no time, McMurphy lined up a multi-year contract with them, joining college basketball reporter Jeff Goodman and NBA scoop god Shams Charania as future on-air personalities.

“I won’t be writing as much,” McMurphy said. “It’s funny, I was hired at ESPN to be a TV reporter. Ed Placey said, ‘We want you to be a TV college football reporter.’ And I told him I had no television experience. But then people thought I worked for ESPN.com, because ESPN rarely put me on TV.... As far as the writing element, [Stadium is] trying to figure out the best way to do that, bringing Jeff Goodman and I on. Shams is going to be coming to Stadium also—he’s going to do video for Stadium and write for The Athletic.”

At Stadium, McMurphy will have the option of doing standard news reports, sideline reporting, and even booth work for Conference USA and Mountain West games. And the beauty of it is, new options aside, he’ll be paid by ESPN up to the day before he starts with Stadium—his ESPN contract runs out Aug. 12; he starts with Stadium Aug. 13.

The fucking gig was signed last year dipshit. And it was penned WAY back then to start on the 13th, the day after his more lucrative ESPN contract ran out.

So where is this well documented fact that he only began to negotiate this after this story broke? Yeah, more entirely made up assumed bullshit from a total bullshit artist. The actual truth didn't fit your narrative so you fabricated one of your own. He didn't create this story to make money, nor to get a job. He had both already going. You are simply factually wrong. Entirely and completely in every possible way.

Good night.

@Across The Field , This also was one of the things I had read where he talked about how he started this story and got to that point. If you were still interested. Forgot it came off his interview with someone at deadspin.

 

[broncosmitty]

Have they dropped the charges on the guy that knew the guy yet?

 

[Across The Field]

You are all hung up on this notion that it has to be made up or otherwise doesn't exist because he himself hasn't put a copy out for the public to see. We do not know if he ever actually had possession of said document. We only know that he said it existed. Until he is asked to present it and responds, we do not, and will not know how he came to make that statement. No one can say he was lying or it was false or he was given bad information until that time.

Yet you are still hung up on the notion that you can 100% assume it's true and that the document exists. And you still say you're unbiased.

 

[Across The Field]

True. But I think that the lie probably triggered the investigation. Without it, I don't think McMurphy's report gets as much attention.

The lie made it look like there was a possible cover up and caused folks to wonder what else was being lied about and got them asking more questions.

The McMurphy report is why there's an investigation. The investigation happens regardless of what happens at Media Day.

Maybe but Urban isn't placed on leave if he didn't lie that day. Him lying got him in hot water.

No I am not. I was talking about the implied "cover-up". And as I said if there was a "cover-up" he would never have seen that document.

 

[Milkshake]

100 pages by the end of the day?

 

[WizardHawk]

Show me where I have said that.

Seriously

You simply cannot tell the difference between someone saying they need proof before buying someone is lying and saying he can't possibly be lying. There isn't one place in any part of this where I've said anywhere any such thing. Period. And I've corrected that dozens of times.

At best I've said what I think is MOST LIKELY because I have also clearly said NOTHING IS OFF THE TABLE. There remains all possibilities. How many times do you have to be told this before you stop putting words in peoples mouths?

It is possible no document ever existed, at all, he fucked up somehow or took her word or whatever.
It is possible he saw something in her stack of notes when he was with her for 3 days, but wasn't given a copy of it.
It is possible he has that document and simply hasn't posted it.

The ONLY thing I have ever said AT ALL is which way I think is more likely. And have used that term over and over. Yet here you are AGAIN making claims that I 100% believe something.

Fucking grow up.

I'm waiting for the damned report for clarity. Until then nothing is impossible. All I have said is I find the track you have offered to be less likely as it requires a bigger leap than the simpler possible answers. THERE IS ZERO BIAS IN THAT.

I'm for it.

 

[WizardHawk]

No I am not. I was talking about the implied "cover-up". And as I said if there was a "cover-up" he would never have seen that document.

If you also assume Courtney didn't get a legit copy at the time of the incident before the cover up.

If Chief Vest carefully chose the response that any other version of the document was 'human error' it at least leaves the outside chance there is one.

There may be but I not too concerned. I think both parties are shit birds and others are being involved in their drama. I just replied about a cover-up which I dont believe was happening by the Meyers.

I really doubt there is a cover up either. I don't believe there is one by the PD either as I would more think they have some issues getting their facts and paperwork straight. I work in an industry where we have to file official investigations with the police, courts, and other government agencies. It's impossible for us to do them in one shot correctly the first time. You'd be surprised how many people can't write reports in their format without revisions.

Maybe. But I doubt it's anywhere close to what we're seeing. His lie made folks wonder what else he was lying about, so the investigation ends up being deeper because now folks think tOSU "has to be hiding something".

At the least, if he were truthful in the press conference, it's unlikely that he's suspended right now.

 

[Across The Field]

He's still on paid leave. The McMurphy report suggested it all happened but nobody knew about it, suggesting a coverup. Regardless of his responses, they're doing an investigation with him on leave.

Never once have I heard any speculation on that outside of this board.
