Does ESPN alter their transcripts?
Repoz, the quickest blogger in the east, posted a link to an ESPN interview, including a blurb, which seemed like made up facts to me, and to Clemens’ lawyer. I looked in the article in question, and that exchange is not there. The exchange is very very very long. Probably the longest interview I’ve ever seen online. And that particular passage seemed to have been removed. To confirm that Repoz, a blogger of honor if ever there was one, didn’t just make it up as a goof, I googled it. And the exchange did in fact exist on ESPN, as my screen print shows. Look for that part I circled in the ESPN transcript. However, it’s not there, in the latest version!
And this is not the first time. A Keith Law roundtable was edited because Keith Law was too smart! Here’s the video. Vegaswatch is saying that parts of it was removed, apparently.
UPDATE: I’ve gotten confirmation that the Rice video is accurate, but that the McGwire video was cut. That cut was possibly due to length, and not for the poor showing of Steve Phillips (maybe). However, the first part of this post still stands.
