I remember that, that wasn't a mistake, that was an outright lie by Len Pasqareli (not sure how to spell his name).
Out of everyone at ESPN, he has the least credibility, and is often pushing agendas for agents (i.e. Joel Siegal).
I’ll never forget in 2000 when Sal Palantonio reported that there was no way Bill Belichick would coach the Patriots that year. Then less than an hour later Chris Mortensen contradicted him on SportsCenter.
