quint is such a chotch. but i’m not gonna lie the ending of status convo is hilarious. also, my prayers and wishes go out to Yeardely and the Love family.

Especially working for a major news resource (ESPN), one would think that Quint would have checked the source of the rumor before letting it fly (finding the fire upon seeing smoke in the air). I do agree with Jumbo_Jack, we all jump on things a little quick in general in this country, granted the technology allows for it, but with a story this sensitive to the lax community (first Duke, now UVa), we need to let the details surface, even more so in this case since the Duke case was pretty viral in its early stages.

There is a difference between pointing out that someone is incorrect, and chatising them needlessly. He clearly realized he was misinformed and retracted his statement, that’s really all that he can do.

Peter –
Quint did not text us, I pulled that right off of his twitter page as numerous people RT’d it. Since his twitter account got deleted I’m sure people realized he got the wrong information. During this tragedy Quint is that last thing anyone should be talking or thinking about. Since this time I’ve deleted all that extra talk under the original statement I made about our thoughts and prayers being with the Love family and UVA community as that is what is important right now.

Ummm, did we just see the e-neuter of Quint K? I can't find his twitter feed either. Obvi Quint spoke too hastily, but I don't think he should get entirely thrown under the bus, we all make mistakes and the premature claim doesn't hurt anyone (including Quint's credibility).

Even if all charges are dropped, I just think it would be tuff to continue the season w/ a dead athlete. I feel like another suspect would have to be identified & have a ton of hard evidence that he was the perp. Still really sad though.

I’m Blake Morris the guy from the Facebook feed, the reason I asked STX to cite their source was that with all this new social media, their is no responsibility associated with reporting news. I am sure tizzle or who ever runs STX’s FB page did not mean to stoke the fire but with sensitive material like this and representing a well respected lax company like STX you have the power to influence a lot of people. Everyone in the FB/Blogo/twitosphere just need to slow down, realize they are not CNN and take responsibility for thier actions. I’m looking at you Quint. You could have at least amended your report rather than deleting your account. I respect you a ton as goalie, but your journalism leaves a lot to be desired.

I mean.. cmon. It's not as if he made this up to fan the flames. He obviously got a bad report and threw it up on Twitter. Dumb? Sure. Damning? Hardly.

i’m sure UVA, at some point, did consider canceling their seasons. i would bet that quint had a legit source and i’m sure that he regrets going public with the info before it was final.

quit fanning the flames.

throwing someone under the bus then sending “heartfelt” sentiments to the victim’s family in the same breath is insincere.

I can’t say that this post is doing anything but dragging this story further through the mud.

Let’s point the finger at the gentleman who actually committed a crime, not Quint. Give me a break.

your comment is so hypocritical.

my sister is the UVA men’s lacrosse manager. she has spent hours of every single day except sundays with the guys for the past YEAR, and knows them all very well. travels with them, knows everything about them as people, they consider her part of the team.

she knew Yeardley, but she really knew George very well. what everyone is going through is extremely difficult, very personal, and they don’t need people like you talking crap about the situation then saying you wish the best.

clearly you’re both retards and didnt fully understand my comment. just because i “threw someone under the bus” and then gave my wishes and prayers to the Love family doesnt make completely insincere. maybe if i had separated it into 2 postmaybe it would have been better. i was just making fun of quint because that was clearly a very stupid thing to say. and i’m not saying he doesnt regret it, i’m sure he does. but i dont like the guy in the first place. and i dont think he has the right to report that without the university releasing an official statement saying that they were going to cancel their season. idk if you read the facebook convo above that i’m talkin about, seems like you didnt. because its not like i’m taking a jab at the UVA players or anything like that. i was talking about how funny the conversation was because the person behind the STX facebook page said he didnt like him either, thought that was funny, and i was agreeing with the person saying that. so before you say that to me, maybe you should have asked me to fully explain myself. and shell my comment may have been hypocritical it was not meant in a bad way towards the Love family and the UVA lax community. so both of you can fuck off. thanks for playing.
