Tomorrow, NIKE joins the cheating party.





Who cares that he got arrested. He got arrested for trying to blackmail them. I’m interested in what he knows. It would be dumb to blackmail someone if you don’t have anything, right?

Lmao wut??

This piece of shît is beyond “not credible”. He will almost certainly be killing himself this calendar year.

And this will all go back to credibility. He wasn't just charged with extortion. He was also indicted on bank and wire fraud charges today. At this point, it will be incredibly difficult to place value on much of what he says.

Now, I'm not naive enough to believe that Nike isn't involved in the same things that Adidas was. I mean, see LSU for example. It's just hard to take much of what he says into account.
 
I think it is a Trump thing with you here. Your reaction seems pretty over the top.

I agree he is an idiot but it was still relevant.
 
This has nothing to do with Duke or them being a Nike school. This has to do with the source. I don't doubt for a second that Nike does the same thing Adidas did. I just don't think it will be the creepy porn lawyer that takes them down.

At this point, I think it's safe to safe to say "creepy porn ex-lawyer"

Dude is gonna be disbarred as disbarred gets.


LMAAOOOO WUT!?!

Wetzel is one of the biggest clowns in sports media.

I'm pretty sure he's just saying that because Wetzel is the guy reporting on the Nike stuff. If somebody named Harland D. Sanders was on Twitter reporting this, I have no doubt he would be saying "if Colonel S. releases his info, I'm believing it. He wouldn't release false info!"

Wetzel has released everything major in CBB. It’s been him or Forde. You’re kidding yourself.
 




Look at these non-credible guys acknowledging the source
 
At least he’s basketball related.

And the source of information he's using is a creepy porn soon-to-be ex-lawyer which is now being federally prosecuted for not only extortion, but fraud. Fraud is 110% detrimental to credibility. And that guy is using a scorned employee whose contract was terminated. I cannot count the number of times I've heard people talk all kinds of nasty garbage about their former employers and their practices. Who's to say that this isn't one of those scenarios? Now on the other hand, who's to say that it's not true? That being said, until that gets provided with something of substance, you have to take it at face value, which isn't worth much in this case.

Wolken is using secondhand reporting here, not investigative journalism. Bear that fact in mind.

Feel like this guy knew he was getting arrested as well. You dont just do what he did and think you’re getting off Scott free after tweeting about Nike. Interesting

How do you know that’s his source if/when Dan releases the info?

Dan preceded his Twitter posts with as much. It's in plain text who his source was.



Keyphrase in this post:

"Avenatti claimed"

This is your reliable source of information. Michael Avenatti, folks.

Avenatti was always a slimeball but if he’s guilty of bribery and extortion, which is exactly what he accused Trump of, expect to see Tweets from the orange one. Wouldn’t surprise me to see this one go viral.

Makes no sense otherwise
 
Nike pulling a UNC and playing hardball. Coincidence?

Probably. The odds that a multi-billion dollar corporation were going to lay back and get deep dicked without putting up a fight against one man whose claim to fame is a washed up porn star, well, those odds were extraordinarily low.

Yes. But Avenatti is now going to prison. Dan would have to get info from someone else.

If Wetzel got that information from somebody other than Avenatti, then the post would not say "Avenatti claimed"

We also do not know the timeline of when Wetzel talked to Avenatti prior to his arrest. It's totally possible Avenatti released info on the press conference, Wetzel inquired on behalf of Yahoo for a story leading into tomorrow, Avenatti provided a summary or details, and then Avenatti was arrested after the fact.
 
Guy mad he lost his job. Needed leverage to get job back. Nike was like, “try me, bitch.”

From that, I’d suspect Nike did do their own investigation, concluding evidence was sparse at best, hence called the bluff.
