NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Louisiana State Police Col. Mike Edmonson says his investigators have found no evidence at this time that the Saints or general manager Mickey Loomis rigged Superdome wiring so opposing coaches' radio communications could be intercepted.


Edmonson says state police investigators have run an extensive probe in conjunction with the FBI since the eavesdropping allegations surfaced in news reports in April. He says that after conducting numerous interviews, "there is no evidence that state laws have been violated."

Louisiana State Police Col. Mike Edmonson says his investigators have found no evidence at this time that the Saints or general manager Mickey Loomis rigged Superdome wiring so opposing coaches' radio communications could be intercepted.

Edmonson says state police investigators have run an extensive probe in conjunction with the FBI since the eavesdropping allegations surfaced in news reports in April. He says that after conducting numerous interviews, ``there is no evidence that state laws have been violated.''

Edmonson says he cannot comment on the status of related federal probes. He also says State Police will reopen their investigations if new allegations surface.

Loomis and the Saints have emphatically denied the allegations, and the Saints have hired the firm of former FBI director Louis Freeh to do its own investigation.

Now, when will ESPN ever be forced to answer for their wreckless "journalism"?

Finally. I wonder if ESPN will report this?

Finally. I wonder if ESPN will report this?

Probably wont because they will find some way for some random Tebow story to fill in airspace.

Loomis can go ahead and sue ESPN now... or they can wait til Freeh is done.

 

[jbourque]

In your face ESPN.

 

[JackDiesel]

IMO it's defemation of character lawsuit time!

 

[AARPSaint]

So, a disgruntled ex-employee (or maybe independent contractor in this case) made up some false information about the Saints. There's something vaguely familiar about this scenario.

Before you accept a quick check... Make it happen Loomis...

 

[saintsfanfl]

Glad that's behind us...

And I'm looking forward to Florio chiming in and trashing ESPN.

He should have a pretty interesting take on this from a legal standpoint.

Now isn't that some ****. Yea if I were Loomis, while I was sitting out for half of the season for no reason, I'd sue the hell out of ESPN.

 

[Saint Boudreaux]

Everyone needs to flood espn with this article and demand them make it right

 

[insidejob]

Loomis has some time on his hands anyway. Time to lawyer up.

 

[SWAMP_THING]

i like how they were trying to get the saints to also carry the patriots scandal, as if the bounty thing wasn't enough

Consider this part 1.

Part II is the Freeh investigation.

When part II is complete we will see part III.

Part III is when Benson is going to hit the NFL with a knockout blow that will get our players, coaches, GM, draft picks and money back. It will also force Goodell out of the commish job.
