Impressive.
But not mid-day on Buffalo radio impressive.
Too bad those idiots at 97.5 are too childish to acknowledge their former employee(Sean Brace) for getting a word out of LeSean McCoy.
All suburban punks at 97.5, that are too scared to hit the Philly streets, to get a good scoop from an athlete.
97.5 are crickets regarding this latest McCoy news
97.5 hasn’t said anything because the audio isn’t conclusive. This is poor journalism at its finest, unfortunately. He talks about this audio being used in court, but it’s NOT CONCLUSIVE. Furthermore, it doesn’t make sense that Shady would just say “I made a mistake.” If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Re-listen to the audio and focus on his body language. He’s trying to avoid the press, and he says “I made my statement” – basically telling Brace to Eff off.
Sorry, Brace. I know you were such a hero going out there in the cold with your illness, but this was all for naught. I know you’re trying to become relevant again – get some publicity for the website(which worked – so ok I can’t knock that), but the audio can be interpreted as “I made my statement” – which…actually…makes A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE.
Phil, you sound butt-hurt from being fired.
I’m calling it how I see it – right down the middle. Honest opinion considering I’m just a regular joe with no bias one way or another.
