the_franchise Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I hope Merriman hires me to represent him in his defamation case against Pat Moran... By the way, I've probably clicked on this thread 100 times, posted in it dozens of times, been on twitter for an hour, and opened the peter pan link 4 times today. You'd think we'd crash the server with a thread like this. Pixie guy is getting a lot of hits today
Scrappy Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 You'd think we'd crash the server with a thread like this. Pixie guy is getting a lot of hits today The part that really frightens me here is how many guys here have new & exotic links to this guy / Peter Pan. Merriman Fesses up to his crime

BillsRUs Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I say we bombard Moran's twitter with pixiland links until he reveals his sources or shows us proof
/dev/null Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Who is Patrick Moran? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Moran. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone. *At first I was going to respond with Who is Patrick Moran? Who is John Galt. Bbut I doubt many folks here would get the reference and some of those who did wouldn't appreciate the reference Edited August 18, 2011 by /dev/null
bills1960 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I say we bombard Moran's twitter with pixiland links until he reveals his sources or shows us proof That is the best idea I've ever heard on this board. Ever.

Punch Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Sal Maiorana @salmaiorana Sal Maiorana I have heard there was no bust. RT @MSmilanich: @salmaiorana Is there any legitamcy to the Merriman border crossing with steroids rumor? Meaning he was not arrested. Cannot corroborate anything else right now. RT @Shaww: @salmaiorana There was no bust? meaning what? This means something happened, right? If Sal has heard there was no arrest but "cannot corroborate" anything else, he is kind of admitting there was indeed some incident.
bills1960 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 This means something happened, right? If Sal has heard there was no arrest but "cannot corroborate" anything else, he is kind of admitting there was indeed some incident. Or he doesn't know any specific details on whether anything happened or not and is choosing to avoid throwing himself out there like Moran did. That is the professional thing to do.
Thisistheyear Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) When I started reading this thread I had no idea who Pat Moran was. After the tweet about his kid, I'm sure he is a world class idiot and am praying for this Merriman thing to be wrong so he goes away. Leave journalism to journalists.

I hope when Merriman finds out about these false allegations against him, he finds Pat Moran in whatever basement he's hiding out at, sacks him, and does the sack dance in front of his 8 year old daughter.
Captain Caveman Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 This means something happened, right? If Sal has heard there was no arrest but "cannot corroborate" anything else, he is kind of admitting there was indeed some incident. Or else he scanned the arrest reports (which I'm assuming a reported can get his hands on pretty easily) and found that there was no arrest.
Punch Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Or he doesn't know any specific details on whether anything happened or not and is choosing to avoid throwing himself out there like Moran did. That is the professional thing to do. Moran is not a professional so he need not adhere to journalism ethics. He's an Internet douche that lives under Douche Blog Law. On the surface, by saying there was no arrest it sounds as though it implies an incident did indeed occur that did not result in an arrest. I guess it's possible there is simply no arrest record, though. He didn't make it clear if that's the case.

Okay maybe he did get pulled over, doesn't mean there was necessarily a banned substance in his car. Especially if this happened weeks ago.
bbb Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Bills expected to take Aaron maybins little brother in supplemental draft Didn't I read on like page 15 that Merriman is having his own supplement draft?
Realist Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 In Moran's defense, it sounds like something did happen. A couple of posters early on in the thread also suggested they knew about it. It just seems that if by now, no other reporters can substantiate it, it's not as big a deal as Moran was implying.
bbb Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Isn't Pat Moran the same guy who started the rumor that B.C. got shot at a Timon Dance back in 1994? Who is BC?
Kelly the Dog Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Didn't I read on like page 15 that Merriman is having his own supplement draft? That's funny.

Check their posting history--two of them have only posted in this thread during the past year. Just sayin'.....
