I think this testimony should put to rest ANY concerns that this is true.
Quote:
|
Cortez Kennedy, a Hall of Fame defensive tackle who serves as a Saints adviser, said the report was “completely false. I have sat with Mickey for years for multiple games and I can say that when Mickey gets up to go walk around during breaks or halftime, I put his earpiece in. It is WWL-AM radio. I know this, because I have heard, plain and simple.”

I got a feeling Benson and Loomis are about to go out on an all out offensive attack.

Oh really? So why are the Saints getting hammered today?
Quote:

A source claimed Loomis had the listening device re-wired before the 2002 season to allow him to instead listen to opposing coaches. The device was reportedly removed in September 2005, after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city and heavily damaged the stadium.

Soooo... while the rest of the city was evacuated... somebody thought it would be a great idea to go into the ravaged Super Dome and remove the device.
Quote:
|
“The NFL has a frequency coordinator in every stadium at every game and every line and frequency, especially the signals used by each team’s coaches are heavily secured and monitored, and who and where it goes,” Bensel said. “This is a virtual impossibility."
|
Hellooooo!
Quote:
Saints college scouting director Rick Reiprish, who was in Loomis’ booth during the 2004 season, called the report “laughable.”
“Having sat in there with Mickey, to think that this report can be simply made up and then reported … The NFL has practices in place that don’t allow this to happen,” Reiprish said.
|
Its funny to me too Rick...

Analyst: ESPN reporter 'was on a mission' | wwltv.com New Orleans
Except from an interview with Donald Foret, who is a legal analyst
Angela Hill: “You had communicated with the reporter?”
Foret: “John Barr, the reporter on April 5 called me asking a lot of questions about the Saints. Obviously, everyone is piling on as a result of the bounty scandal. He called me on April 5 and he asked me some really crazy questions, and it was obvious to me that he was looking for dirt on the Saints. I felt terribly uncomfortable with the conversation. I reported it to the Saints.
“It’s obvious to me that John Barr had a mission, and it looks like he reported on that mission today.”
Karen Swensen: "Would you go so far as to say that might have included malice, and if so could Loomis potentially sue for defamation?"
Foret: "Certainly, as I think Doug Sunseri is going to talk about in a piece a little later. Certainly there is a possibility of a defamation of character lawsuit. There’s no question about that. You can’t go out and defame someone. If it’s false – I believe this report to be false, we’ll have to wait and see."
"Now it’s been turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Jim Letten is going to do his due diligence. He has turned it over to the FBI for investigation. We will find out whether or not this happened, because it looks like the FBI is gonna be put on notice. They’re going to investigate, so we’ll find out if it happened or not."
