This logic seems popularly and yet it makes no sense. Why does he have to lie about having a source he’s only the most popular sports personality today.
So basically, Stephen A gets to sully the man's reputation with no accountability ? He can pull out his unnamed source card and absolve himself ? He's a snake !
@@johnle1535 Yea SAS did explain how he became a snake and been like this since the beginning of his sports journalist career. Look at his past treatment of Iverson and then had to backtrack.
Marcellus great show. Alive. Kept it solid and held steadfast. Unnamed sources toxic. Loved Jalen Brown. Life lessons in there. Marcellus carries the personality. So much when Marcellus covers the topic all the way.
SAS has always been a mark punk like this. This screams SAS giving his own opinion and disguising it as anonymous source. SAS' MO is to start with complaints before talking ad shit about someone. How he broke the info from this "anonymous source" was exactly the same way he talks about his own personal opinions.
Saying something about someone and not standing on what u said it’s the DEFINITION of cowardly but a weak weasel like SAS would never understand that because in his own word they are looking for someone to go along with anything not ask questions and be weak minded and that fits SAS to the bone
@@LorenzowakefieldEllisonwell duh cause he didn't get far in sports I remember Paul Pierce saying he was the best in the current NBA but he only said it after he beat Kobe in the finals
Jaylen Brown is an intelligent black man who is not a puppet. People don’t like that. He didn’t need basketball to make a living. Dude plays hard every game, doesn’t get into trouble, cares about his community, and is very professional. I hope dude gets what he deserves going forward. I’m a Lakers fan, but I find it hard to root against the Celtic players and coach. Jrue, Derrick, and Jayson are good character guys as well. I don’t see how sports media roots against guys like Jaylen Brown, Tiger Woods, and Russell Wilson.
I’m late to this topic. I knew if I wanted the quick scoop and have it totally understandable, it would come from Marcellus Wiley. Always like his work. 💯
SAS doesn't keep the same energy when ppl confront him. He was sucking up to Jalen because he knew he was wrong. Jalen broke him down like a fraction to it's lowest common denominator
From my vantage point, I don't understand why Jaylen Brown went on Stephen A Smith's platform? He's not going to get what he's looking for from SAS, because he in fact is the source! SAS is playing word games! It was/is a waste of time....
This is all about them folks they can't stand a young educated black MIT type dude they can't stand that you supposed to be like LeBron shut up and play basketball when he's bringing that intellectual stimulating level on another level to these people they can't stand it and I'm glad he's doing it!!!!!!!!
A real man is not going to accept personal attacks from an “unnamed” source and give them power by doing their work for them and put it on a platform. A real man would have kept that text in his phone. If your source is not man enough to say that to Jaylen’s face then why would you say it to the world? Only a coward will do the work of a coward.
Cowards being protected by SAS. Those comments are hearsay and no reason to blackmail him. This is not pre 60’s SA it’s 2024 we got to have this dudes back and end this behavior.
Marcellus you are too damn smart fam. U almost made Jaylen Brown contradict himself. He didn't name the source but kind of going back at SAS. That was crazy that u caught that
Would the media draw the same attention to their platform without unnamed sources being a part of their reporting? It seems like juicy gossip on one hand and secret squirrel information on the other.
Jaylen is an extremely intelligent man, the issue they have with him is his stance on Palestine… look at who owns ESPN, who’s the nba commissioner and who owns most of the teams in the league and what unites all those figures. Two plus two equals antisemitism
@@simontemplar9010yessir he knows who these “unnamed sources” are, that’s why he stressed that part 😂😂 same sources that all of a sudden started throwing Kyrie under every bus in sight soon as he went down the same path
Unnamed Sources sure are cowardly to the people with generational wealth and/or are COMPLETELY satisfied with their current level of success. Do you how people react to the most benign comments today? I'm not just talking about people on the internet, people with actual power too (sometimes because of the internet influence). Ain't nobody about to risk it all to appease an individual athlete when they still trying to live their own life.
Jaylen brown is better than Tatum but Tatum is a yes man and throws his kid in the Public eye to try and be more relatable. Brown is awesome. Hope he leaves Boston.
SAS got off light on this one I think. Cause Jaylen could’ve gone ALL THE WAY in on him. I think SAS chose ratings > relationship with Jaylen. Those statements were personally charged. They’re speaking about his character. Because if you don’t believe it (and you truly care about him) why share those thoughts on one the of the world’s largest platforms.. Instead of going to Jaylen directly first.. To let him know? 🤷🏿♂️
The source is not the problem. The source is stating was some people in power think. It's obvious there is truth to what was said because he has been left off and out of so much. Valid or not, there had to be a reason why.
He helps people who suck up to him‼️ You challenge him, you will never be on his show again, ask Monica. Stephen A is a punk who is easily intimidated by those who call him out and those who he is insecure with like Max. Hold on Shannon, don’t get too comfortable. He is a wannabe kind of person who is very careful who he talks about, throwing out compliments to his guests. Guests who knows what happens when u call him out‼️ I prefer Max, Marcellus & Ryan. He is a BIG MOUTH WANNABE‼️
Funny how everyone dragging Stephen A trying to blame him but he put more attention on Jaylen brown gave him the platform to tell his side and promote himself and merchandise which will lead to questions from fans even reporters why isn’t Jaylen getting the recognition he deserves, he walks a straight line like kyrie but Jaylen hasn’t done anything for you to look at him negatively but yet he is still black balled because of the man he is.
man, i stopped watching Stephen A 'cause he just reminds me of like a black Skip Bayless... always wants to be right and never admitting he is wrong 'cause he has so much experience and he is so good at his job that what he says is the truth... he just spins things to much for my taste... i agree Jaylen Brown, using unname sources is so unethical to be honest... literally it seems like they make shit up for content and then they "can't" reveal their sources 'cause of confidentially, it's crazy stupid... literally i can just make up some shit about someone and say i got it from an unname source and people have to consider it truth... i think that's not right, you could damage someones reputation and not have people accountable... regardless if someone did tell Stephen A or not, he is liable as well 'cause he using his platform to spread these things out, he should know better...
You know why they don’t wanna promote Jaylen.. cause they’re tryna build a vacation destination for their friends in the Middle East and he’s not a fan of that
Well he has some points because we do not trust any data without a source, but it's different regarding gossip and we only want sources in order to slap somebody 😂
Unanimous sources have always been a thing but the thing is what Stephen A said about Jalen Brown was completely unnecessary. There was no reason something like that had to be said on live tv and Stephen A should lose all credibility for saying something like that
Unnamed sources has always been around, it’s only a problem with people when it about someone they support, but if a unnamed source reveals about someone you don’t support or like everyone is supporting the information they heard. It’s the world we live in
People are acting like JB couldn't go to SA and trash the Celtics knowing damn well SA wouldn't reveal it, the man is not leaving his phone up for Butpounder 99 to communicate with him for him to say that in live TV meant it's someone important, that should tell Jaylen who his enemies are and it's not the Joe on the secretary earning minimal wage it's way higher but let's all focus on SA.
No you don't the same way you don't name a whistle blower, if someone in Nike comes out and reveals shit the company has done and puts his name on he would receive retaliation. If people want their name to be hidden is cause their position, nobody asked who leaked The Jordan Poole and Draymond Green incident, who had access to the footage and did they get fired? Comon use some sense.
Realest talk - After being in this New Media sports storytelling space; I overstand your sentiment on NARPs. I’m not sure how showing fealty to someone who averaged a “spades hand” in their collegiate sports “career” as opposed to any other talking head on TV is good business. That old timey ish just is not where it’s at.
I can honestly sit here and type that I hate Stephen A Smith...I know people will say, "You don't even know that man!"...He got millions; you broke...All of the other cliche comebacks to my statement...I honestly don't care! I dislike that dude because he manipulates the truth...
So SAS said Jalen Brown is not marketable and that’s why he’s not on USA team from his unnamed source, and Caitlin Clark is so marketable, the best in the market and still didn’t get on the team. Make it make sense.
Everyone knows how ego driven SAS is. It's a Flex for him to state that he receives texts from sources, but don't get it twisted. It's a bigger Flex when he named Michael Jeffrey Jordan as a source. Which he has done on different occasions. If I remember correctly, the topic was about who was more important or who deserves more credit for the Celtics success. Brown or Tatum. What SAS revealed from that source was irrelevant to the subject. Which again proved SAS just wanted to Flex his status of the access he has.
Honestly, it's all a bit ridiculous from both sides. Media doing the slimy things they've always done and today's pro athletes being whiny and a tad bit annoying. They need to stop caring so much about what people think about them. They say it all the time but then they turn around and get mad about something negative coming out about them. As far as Jaylen, i believe he's a pretty smart dude but i also can easily believe that he's not pleasant to be around for most people. Two things can be true. I think he gets to much credit for his intelligence and people instantly want to side with him because of that but his "State Your Source" campaign tells me that he's still not all that intelligent because a true intelligent person understands that they don't know everything or in jaylen's case, you're not about to change the media. It's best to just ignore it, make your millions and move along.
I wondered when you would comment on this instead of CC situation. Jalens issues with Olympics was far more egregious than CC and few media spoke on it with passion.
Yeah MW you’re saying SAS is unethical. That’s a tough one. You’re saying he’s lying twice. Once by saying unnamed sources are saying this about JB and SAS saying that he disagrees with his source.
I think SAS had a source and we all know journalists shouldn't and won't reveal their sources. On the other hand, why even say that on air when you claim u don't believe it. NBA and Nike was big mad over the playoffs run JB is really what it was.
SA added a lot more context in this interview VS the way he intentionally sensationalized his “report” in the original which he intended to be scandalous. JB is nearly less than half SA’s age but displays more integrity in one cornrow than SA possess in his entire body 🤣🤣🤣
The way I look at it is any reporter sports or other wise ,that bring a topic to the public by saying I was told by a Anonymous source is talking for themselves.
I was hoping Jaylen would hold his feet to the fire in the ethics and general morality of citing "unnamed sources" on LIVE TV that were actively meant to denigrate the subject of the topic at hand (Jaylen Brown). He didn't even afford the subject of the topic an opportunity to respond or rebut the quote. It was completely one-sided. In essence, Stephen A. Smith *allowed* himself to be to be USED as a puppet in a larger beef. Live on national television. Now, I might have some critiques of SAS here and there, but I generally think he's a good hearted, well intentioned man. I take him at his word that his overall message and feelings were "this guy is amazing, how could you leave him off Team USA??" But by inserting heavy handed, one-sided anonymous quotes, he compromised his own journalistic integrity
Really that what you took from the conversation? SA still defended JB character, that man gets messages from MJ himself to Magic thats the kind of people who he leaves his phone up for not the fatjoe69 trying to be cute, if he felt like to read out loud the things said was for a reason if he names his sources nobody would trust him again.
@@glcsander The point wasn't that he should OUT the source, the point was why is he using anonymous sources, unfiltered, on live TV? There is a way to use the information at hand in a moral, ethical way. It doesn't matter if it came from a GM of a team, or the owner of a team, or the CEO of Nike, or some random dude on Twitter..... he put himself in a position to be used by someone else. SAS is one of the most trusted names and journalists in Sports Media, if not THE most. When he speaks, people listen, and more importantly people believe. Like Jaylen said, the back half of that quote from the anonymous source was VERY personal, talking about him being arrogant. Uncle Ben once explained to us all: "With great power, comes great responsibility." It's not too much to expect better from him
Steven A is like some politicians. He's acting like he was helping Jaylen by making a statement that attacked Jaylen's character. If he wanted to help Jaylen, he could have talked about all of the facts about his character which seems very good, instead of quoting some sources without knowing first hand if the information was true or for political purposes. Steven A seems to be very self servant without a care of how what he says or does affects people. It appears that the only people that he concerns himself with are the ones that are affiliated with who pays him.
I just dont get how these dudes like Brown " stand on buisnes" but complain about everything And Wiley do you think former athletes should run espn just because they played or own teams just because they played.? That makes no sense.
Unnamed sources are standard and accepted in journalism. Without unnamed sources there would never be any government whistleblowers, corporate whistleblowers,etc. You are required to cite sources in academic papers that are also many times peer reviewed as well. You can't equate the two. Remember, these athletes got into college on athletic scholarships. They aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.
“Names & Numbers” !! Unnamed sources in today’s time is very cowardly, especially with the access to keyboards, mics & cameras to say as you please. But Marcellus you always preach “protect the guilty” & tho you are said SOURCE in the moment, you are telling an act without stating whom. Would you consider that being hypocritical or how would determine the two to be opposite of each other?
Marcellus, why is the reality of this conversation not brought up. This world has games, sports, religion, politics etc. "to maintain" (thats me being politically correct) the ebbs and flow of society. The mechanisms by which they operate are in no way unfair nor do they owe us a peak behind the curtain. Is it unfair for an animal to eat another, nope just life. If you are the greatest cards player in the world you don't owe the world an explanation of why you know what they don't, and why would it make sense to share the edge you have and then potentially lose it. The idea of fair and unfair is best summed up by. All is fair in love and war. We drink 10 dollar coffees while other parts of the world starve. Thats a silent war. Do you have a problem with starbucks keeping their edge or people drinking those drinks at the expense of others (ie cobalt mines in Africa)? Because I would guess on the scales of cowardess that secret is far more "unfair" than a conversation about the avoiding of an elephant in the room. We are talking about why he isn't making 300 extra million. And that extra 300 million comes from the Nikes and Starbucks. So two things can be true: he is less marketable literally shown by the way he answered the reality versus playing the game, and him being an exceptional person doesn't entitle him to THE MONEY they hand out in THE GAME. Because the game comes with conditions.
'Unnamed source' is a cop out. If a person has a viewpoint they should be man or woman enough to publicly defend their opinion. With regards to JB's interview, as much as I respect the man, there was a certain level of delusion. He has a gripe with major corporations and shoe companies but forgets that the league and his 300 plus million are the product of these entities dipping their hands in the pot and creating the same product that he is benefitting from. I'm sure he's intellectually savvy enough to understand that 'he that pays the piper dictates the tune'. If it irks him that much and he is as principled as he claims, he should retire and find himself another vocation.
OK, 1, an unnamed source is different than an unnamed person in a court matter. Witnesses & victims get intimidated, they have been killed, families threatened. Organized crime will do all and more. When the case goes to trial those names are then mentioned because you get to face your accuser... this is COMPLETELY different than an unnamed source. 2, You had Mike Freeman at CBSSports trying to act like Woodward & Bernstein from Watergate when mentioning these supposed NFL higher ups. I think those unnamed sources were Freeman himself. What happened to Jalen Brown, and I am now a HUGE fan, was BS. SAS should tell them if he can't say their name then he's not going to talk about it. Man up & let it be known when you're out here talking shit about someone else. Don't hide behind a reporter, this person can clearly get on the air & say something & let it be known. I was hoping Brown was going to look in the camera & tell that "source" he/she is a coward for hiding behind SAS. They should text SAS right now & tell SAS to state their name. People act like sports is the same as being a whistle blower. I'm not articulating this the best but if I was on the phone I could for sure make my point clearer. I hate the "unnamed source" as it pertains to sports. Now when it came to real crimes like the Clippers owner, then I understand. That's a crime, someone could go to jail & that person has resources. Talking shit is no reason to be a coward, stand up, man up, and speak up.
Unnamed source = Stephen A. Salty because he never gets exclusive interviews, etc. Stephen A is a transactional journalistic capitalist. NEWSFLASH UNNAMED SOURCE: Shannon is gay, run with it Stephen A.

Besides that they have nothing in common
Funniest thing is jaylen is well aware that stephan A was the anonymous source and did this lol. Jaylen is the man
Which i why i think he did the interview with steven a smith.
even if it was someone else's opinion, to say Brown isn't a well liked person and has a personality problem on a national television is uncalled for
Who is your source??? Name them!!!
This logic seems popularly and yet it makes no sense. Why does he have to lie about having a source he’s only the most popular sports personality today.
What's funny is that you're rolling with the assumption, not 100% sure. But whatever keeps you rolling in life.
Wow, I’m a Knicks fan, I’ve never really heard Jaylen interviewed, didn’t know much besides how dominant he is. He’s an impressive dude.
No way the people SAS is referring to are at home in the late morning watching First Take and texting him in real time. That's unbelievable.
Lol
Stephen A. is dealing with someone far more intelligent than he is, but he knows that Jaylen knows that he is the unnamed source.
Max K anybody?
Doesn’t explain why JB hasn’t had a shoe deal.
Brown is pro black main reason he's not granted things he's a man standing on his feet no matter what respect Steven not ready to do that yet
So basically, Stephen A gets to sully the man's reputation with no accountability ? He can pull out his unnamed source card and absolve himself ? He's a snake !

Trust me ..JB knows there is no unnamed source .
Realest talk - After being in this New Media sports storytelling space; I overstand your sentiment on NARPs. I’m not sure how showing fealty to someone who averaged a “spades hand” in their collegiate sports “career” as opposed to any other talking head on TV is good business. That old timey ish just is not where it’s at.
I can honestly sit here and type that I hate Stephen A Smith...I know people will say, "You don't even know that man!"...He got millions; you broke...All of the other cliche comebacks to my statement...I honestly don't care! I dislike that dude because he manipulates the truth...
Journalistic integrity....LIES
So SAS said Jalen Brown is not marketable and that’s why he’s not on USA team from his unnamed source, and Caitlin Clark is so marketable, the best in the market and still didn’t get on the team. Make it make sense.
Everyone knows how ego driven SAS is. It's a Flex for him to state that he receives texts from sources, but don't get it twisted. It's a bigger Flex when he named Michael Jeffrey Jordan as a source. Which he has done on different occasions. If I remember correctly, the topic was about who was more important or who deserves more credit for the Celtics success. Brown or Tatum. What SAS revealed from that source was irrelevant to the subject. Which again proved SAS just wanted to Flex his status of the access he has.
Not Drew Brees 🤣🤣🤣 Rob Johnson (you were RIGHT overall though, Flutie should have started!) Btw, truth gets buried if we stop unnamed sources...
Honestly, it's all a bit ridiculous from both sides. Media doing the slimy things they've always done and today's pro athletes being whiny and a tad bit annoying. They need to stop caring so much about what people think about them. They say it all the time but then they turn around and get mad about something negative coming out about them. As far as Jaylen, i believe he's a pretty smart dude but i also can easily believe that he's not pleasant to be around for most people. Two things can be true. I think he gets to much credit for his intelligence and people instantly want to side with him because of that but his "State Your Source" campaign tells me that he's still not all that intelligent because a true intelligent person understands that they don't know everything or in jaylen's case, you're not about to change the media. It's best to just ignore it, make your millions and move along.
I wondered when you would comment on this instead of CC situation. Jalens issues with Olympics was far more egregious than CC and few media spoke on it with passion.
Yeah MW you’re saying SAS is unethical.
That’s a tough one.
You’re saying he’s lying twice. Once by saying unnamed sources are saying this about JB and SAS saying that he disagrees with his source.
So I’m confused is it significant that JB isn’t being marketed or not?
SAS doesn’t stand for anything…
You on my-side REMEMBER THAT
I think SAS had a source and we all know journalists shouldn't and won't reveal their sources. On the other hand, why even say that on air when you claim u don't believe it. NBA and Nike was big mad over the playoffs run JB is really what it was.
Brown also mentioned adidas
SA added a lot more context in this interview VS the way he intentionally sensationalized his “report” in the original which he intended to be scandalous. JB is nearly less than half SA’s age but displays more integrity in one cornrow than SA possess in his entire body 🤣🤣🤣
Unnamed source and journalist integrity is code for coward gossiper
No it’s not it’s the code don’t like it then don’t listen
The way I look at it is any reporter sports or other wise ,that bring a topic to the public by saying I was told by a Anonymous source is talking for themselves.
Wiley, please talk about John legend out of touch ass on Shannon sharp podcast.
I was hoping Jaylen would hold his feet to the fire in the ethics and general morality of citing "unnamed sources" on LIVE TV that were actively meant to denigrate the subject of the topic at hand (Jaylen Brown). He didn't even afford the subject of the topic an opportunity to respond or rebut the quote. It was completely one-sided.
In essence, Stephen A. Smith *allowed* himself to be to be USED as a puppet in a larger beef. Live on national television.
Now, I might have some critiques of SAS here and there, but I generally think he's a good hearted, well intentioned man. I take him at his word that his overall message and feelings were "this guy is amazing, how could you leave him off Team USA??" But by inserting heavy handed, one-sided anonymous quotes, he compromised his own journalistic integrity
Really that what you took from the conversation? SA still defended JB character, that man gets messages from MJ himself to Magic thats the kind of people who he leaves his phone up for not the fatjoe69 trying to be cute, if he felt like to read out loud the things said was for a reason if he names his sources nobody would trust him again.
@@glcsander The point wasn't that he should OUT the source, the point was why is he using anonymous sources, unfiltered, on live TV? There is a way to use the information at hand in a moral, ethical way.
It doesn't matter if it came from a GM of a team, or the owner of a team, or the CEO of Nike, or some random dude on Twitter..... he put himself in a position to be used by someone else.
SAS is one of the most trusted names and journalists in Sports Media, if not THE most. When he speaks, people listen, and more importantly people believe. Like Jaylen said, the back half of that quote from the anonymous source was VERY personal, talking about him being arrogant.
Uncle Ben once explained to us all: "With great power, comes great responsibility." It's not too much to expect better from him
@@turokken The logical answer is that it wasn't unfiltered, but prepared by SAS himself and used to create the situation to capitalize off of.
SAS IS THE SOURCE PERIOD HES THE COWARD
Steven A is like some politicians. He's acting like he was helping Jaylen by making a statement that attacked Jaylen's character. If he wanted to help Jaylen, he could have talked about all of the facts about his character which seems very good, instead of quoting some sources without knowing first hand if the information was true or for political purposes. Steven A seems to be very self servant without a care of how what he says or does affects people. It appears that the only people that he concerns himself with are the ones that are affiliated with who pays him.
Privileged to? Never heard that. I thought it was just privy 25:37
I just dont get how these dudes like Brown " stand on buisnes" but complain about everything And Wiley do you think former athletes should run espn just because they played or own teams just because they played.? That makes no sense.
Unnamed sources are standard and accepted in journalism. Without unnamed sources there would never be any government whistleblowers, corporate whistleblowers,etc. You are required to cite sources in academic papers that are also many times peer reviewed as well. You can't equate the two. Remember, these athletes got into college on athletic scholarships. They aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Why is Stephen A. Smith defending the "unnamed sources" ??? hahahah
This mf said straight out "no" . Then he started explaining. Many words indicated deception.
Big Daddy Kane
“Names & Numbers” !! Unnamed sources in today’s time is very cowardly, especially with the access to keyboards, mics & cameras to say as you please. But Marcellus you always preach “protect the guilty” & tho you are said SOURCE in the moment, you are telling an act without stating whom. Would you consider that being hypocritical or how would determine the two to be opposite of each other?
SAS karma is coming. The universe will balance this dude. 😊
SAS I’m not a fan it’s his job and he is paid to do what he is told. Cool on him and don’t believe a word he says.
Couldn’t this just be Stephen A’s personal opinion? 😂
Marcellus, why is the reality of this conversation not brought up. This world has games, sports, religion, politics etc. "to maintain" (thats me being politically correct) the ebbs and flow of society. The mechanisms by which they operate are in no way unfair nor do they owe us a peak behind the curtain. Is it unfair for an animal to eat another, nope just life. If you are the greatest cards player in the world you don't owe the world an explanation of why you know what they don't, and why would it make sense to share the edge you have and then potentially lose it. The idea of fair and unfair is best summed up by. All is fair in love and war. We drink 10 dollar coffees while other parts of the world starve. Thats a silent war. Do you have a problem with starbucks keeping their edge or people drinking those drinks at the expense of others (ie cobalt mines in Africa)? Because I would guess on the scales of cowardess that secret is far more "unfair" than a conversation about the avoiding of an elephant in the room. We are talking about why he isn't making 300 extra million. And that extra 300 million comes from the Nikes and Starbucks. So two things can be true: he is less marketable literally shown by the way he answered the reality versus playing the game, and him being an exceptional person doesn't entitle him to THE MONEY they hand out in THE GAME. Because the game comes with conditions.
'Unnamed source' is a cop out.
If a person has a viewpoint they should be man or woman enough to publicly defend their opinion.
With regards to JB's interview, as much as I respect the man, there was a certain level of delusion.
He has a gripe with major corporations and shoe companies but forgets that the league and his 300 plus million are the product of these entities dipping their hands in the pot and creating the same product that he is benefitting from.
I'm sure he's intellectually savvy enough to understand that 'he that pays the piper dictates the tune'.
If it irks him that much and he is as principled as he claims, he should retire and find himself another vocation.
SOURCE ANON SOURCE
OK, 1, an unnamed source is different than an unnamed person in a court matter. Witnesses & victims get intimidated, they have been killed, families threatened. Organized crime will do all and more. When the case goes to trial those names are then mentioned because you get to face your accuser... this is COMPLETELY different than an unnamed source. 2, You had Mike Freeman at CBSSports trying to act like Woodward & Bernstein from Watergate when mentioning these supposed NFL higher ups. I think those unnamed sources were Freeman himself. What happened to Jalen Brown, and I am now a HUGE fan, was BS. SAS should tell them if he can't say their name then he's not going to talk about it. Man up & let it be known when you're out here talking shit about someone else. Don't hide behind a reporter, this person can clearly get on the air & say something & let it be known. I was hoping Brown was going to look in the camera & tell that "source" he/she is a coward for hiding behind SAS. They should text SAS right now & tell SAS to state their name. People act like sports is the same as being a whistle blower. I'm not articulating this the best but if I was on the phone I could for sure make my point clearer. I hate the "unnamed source" as it pertains to sports. Now when it came to real crimes like the Clippers owner, then I understand. That's a crime, someone could go to jail & that person has resources. Talking shit is no reason to be a coward, stand up, man up, and speak up.

Unnamed source = Stephen A. Salty because he never gets exclusive interviews, etc. Stephen A is a transactional journalistic capitalist. NEWSFLASH UNNAMED SOURCE: Shannon is gay, run with it Stephen A.
