Less than a week after he bailed out of an interview with WEEI in Boston at the last second, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen joined “The Dan Le Batard Show” on Monday to address his false report about Deflategate.
Back in January, Mortensen reported that 11 of the 12 footballs the New England Patriots used in the AFC Championship Game were found to be two pounds per square inch underinflated. The Ted Wells report proved that information was false, but Mortensen never retracted the report.
Mortensen finally deleted the initial tweet on Tuesday. What took him so long?
