Does this change your opinion of Mike Florio?

Certainly, after reading the first story, it's clear that cancer has had an impact on Florio. But that doesn't excuse him from using his website as a pulpit and writing a seriously inflammatory knee-jerk reactionary article before he knew more than what was evident in Rodgers' three second long appearance in that video. Cancer has had a huge impact on the lives of Peter and I in the last year. Cancer is awful. But you don't see us flying off the handle. On the contrary, Florio's assumption that Rodgers steals milk money from cancer patients is exactly what's wrong with journalism today. It's not journalism. I mean, here's a guy who likes to think of himself as a journalist, yet he drags Rodgers through the mud here without doing a shred of investigative work first. Damn right he needed apologize.

I've read PFT almost daily for the past 4 years. He runs a great site that allows you to get a little bit of new information on every team, new rumors (which are just that most the time, and links to articles on every team. That being said, he is very egotistical, stubborn, and holds a lot of personal vendettas (he has one against ESPN, Matt Mosley, and some other people who have called him out before). He also eats a steady diet of crow.

What he did was totally irresponsible journalism. The damage is done because I highly doubt his apology will get as much press as his defiant, arrogant, and condescending first two articles. That being said, he seems half-way sincere in his apology, and we'd be no better than him if we didn't give him another chance.

(P.S. I would have loved to seen A-Rod on Florio's new online radio show and just completely rip him a new one. Aaron is definitely smart enough and edgy enough to have pulled it off.)
