Jay bilas bitch slaps dane kane

I read through the whole tweet exchange, there was a good amount more back and forth after the OP. Definitely a good read. Bilas calls Kane out for saying he spoke to him (he really just read a tweet of his) and completely took it out of context to support the usual Kane narrative. Bilas called him out on it and Kane said he'd issue a correction. Bilas then said a proper "correction" would be to just delete the whole article, haha. Roasted - at least it's becoming more public knowledge that Kane is a complete hack.
If you're familiar with bilas' twitter style you'll agree thats definitely the most agitated sounding he has been. Now hes punked a state fan on twitter over unc and dan kane's reporting. Glorious.
I think UNC should get real aggressive and go after the N&O and Kane. The point of journalism is to seek the truth and not take everything out of context to match your wanted narrative. They relied on a liar like Mary W. They take everyone out of context, and they only report and talk to people who support their narrative. Yes, UNC screwed up majorly on some things, but it was always academic. These scumbags need to get what is coming to them. They are liars.
At what point does the N&O take a strong look at ending Kane's relationship with that paper? He has after all committed the cardinal sin in his world of not properly vetting his sources on multiple occasions. Mary & Jay had their agendas to snag a book deal, he ought their bull and he was recently cat fished and he bought that hook line and sinker. He should be fired for that.
I almost have no hope of this happening. It's more likely they hold a rewards ceremony in his name and present him with a medal for courage.
bilas is the man...much respect for his bball knowledge, his tv work, shoe taste, and certainly his twitter game.
Way to go Jay! I will never read another word from that poop mat or the idiot that writes for it! I can't wait to see it go bankrupt and to drop a quarter in Kane's cup on Franklin Street!
I recently had a good look at the N&O's circulation because of an ad campaign that I was looking to run and they should have had the coverage of the areas that I was looking to target. Their circulation is anemic.
Looks like Kane's boss made him write an article about it. You know he wouldn't have wrote this without being forced to. Hilarious!

Jay was on the Adam & Joe show this afternoon and politely smacked them around a little also.
His main point (like some of us have been trying to get across) is that this was an academic issue and the NCAA was actually following it's own rules in amending the NOA since they had NO grounds for the accusations against Men's BB and FB and they KNEW it .Again, he drove home the point that the NCAA members themselves told the NCAA that they did NOT want them to have any say so in how classes are taught or how difficult or easy they may be. He did not excuse what happened (as most of us have not), but that what did happen was not in the NCAA wheelhouse to judge. He also focused on the ridiculous APR rule and how this only promotes advisors to recommend easy classes since post season money can be lost if the school's APR falls below a certain level.
Dave Glenn also had a great segment on the issues today. He point by point explained how the UNC case was different from Syracuse and others and the main point was that NO members of the athletic staff were named in the NOA, like for instance, in the Syracuse case where an asst, coach was. He also pointed out that the AFAM classes were NEVER called "FAKE" classes as so many in the media (DAN KANE,etc.) have labeled them. In fact, there was not one instance that work was NOT done. So that gets back to the fact that the NCAA cannot judge how the class was conducted or graded.
These pesky little facts have been ignored by most of the media and all the ABCer's who wanted Carolina punished beyond what is deserved. They want the punishment to fit what they THINK is true,which is a combination of some facts but mostly their opinion, damn the evidence and the hell with the rules.

yeah, love that title. Bilas clarifies my butt. Kane took it out of context. What a bunch of scum. How come he hasn't written a story about be catfished on twitter.
