"Clueless", Part II: Rick Reilly is a blatant liar.

There are times that I just am in disbelief as to the blatant nature of the sports media to rewrite history.

Rick Reilly, in an ESPN.com column lamenting the power of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, had this blatant and out and out lie to try to foist upon the public:

"And don't forget, there's no video of any Saints player making illegal hits on Brett Favre or Kurt Warner in the two bounty games in question. To be ordered to carry out a hit and then doing it are two separate things."

That is an obvious lie, and I've posted to this effect on this blog before.

I posted on this on March 8th, 2012:  "An allegation which, if true, could kill the NFL."

 Ladies and gentlemen, a compiled YouTube video, which I posted before, which has at least a HALF A DOZEN illegal hits on Brett Favre in the NFC Championship Game.

And the Warner clip in my post against Mike Golic yesterday!

Look, I know you guys are desperate and flailing over there at ESPN.  You know you CAN'T tell the truth -- football would be shut down if you did.

But you're resorting to blatant lies to keep your backbone league happy, and there are 2,000 former NFL players who might wish to consider adding ESPN to the lawsuits.
