skooks Watching Pamphilon's documentary on Ricky Williams. The first person to appear on camera is... Sean Pamphilon
Twitter-Thread on Payton's OTL Feature:
Larry Holder ESPN's Outside the Lines is all about suspended #Saints coach Sean Payton. It's on right now.
Larry Holder Joe Horn said Sean Payton is "500 percent" arrogant.
Larry Holder I don't think the local media is "scared" of Sean Payton as was reported on OTL. That's a little over the top.
Larry Holder P.S. John Barr did the report.
Reid G. ESPN's standards for "journalism" are on par with the quality of Pamphilon's dumb-ass poetry.
Larry Holder And there it is ... Oh boy.
Andrew Juge @Larry_Holder wow you just got dunked on. Barr is such a toolbox
Larry Holder Regardless of what ESPN's OTL reported, Sean Payton and I don't have this contentious relationship. I'd say we're on very good terms.
Saints Nation Blog There is none RT @KristianGaric1: What is the point of the OTL story?
Saints Nation Blog ESPN outside the lines closed their segment saying they "stand behind" Loomis eavesdropping story & specified FBI investigation unfinished
Reid G. @Larry_Holder So basically, ESPN continues to invent storylines to satisfy their pre-determined narratives.
Reid G. I love how ESPN reports on Holder's relationship with Payton without just contacting Holder for comment. Guess they'd just rather twist it.
Larry Holder RT @bibliofleur: @Larry_Holder OTL segment was all about sour grapes.Thanks for letting us know where you stand.
The Angry Who Dat OUTSIDE THE LINES DONT DO RUMORS, SON
Larry Holder Do reporters and NFL coaches butt heads? Of course. Are we at odds? No.
Adam Caplan Agreed. Distinct difference between the two. RT @Larry_Holder: Do reporters and NFL coaches butt heads? Of course. Are we at odds? No.
Who Dat Indig-Nation that was definitely a #hackjob of a report on OTL. They created a piece about Payton out of thin air and still defend their #wirecrapping
