What a hack. He'll never do an ESPN chat ever again, that's for sure.

[buddha]

why do people even bother with ESPN? they are the fox news of sports journalism. actual all american journalism has now become the fox news of journalism, I guess that's what you potatoes want, you want to tune in to deflategate for a week straight.

[RightTwoCensor]

If this blows up to sites like B/R and Twitter than Chad Ford will lose all credibility he has as a NBA Draft Analyst simply for the fact that he lies to make himself look reliable.

I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN drops Chad Ford's Big Board from the 2015 Draft show and not have him as a host on the panel with the other NBA Analysts.

[Sarcastic]

ESPN is based in New England, and there are many Patriots fans who work there. Are you surprised that they would cheat?

May be the saltiest thing anyone's even written on ISH, and that's saying something.

[Nash]

and now they changed it back. These guys really think they can fool the internet?

[HOoopCityJones]

Meh. He'll just chalk this up to aftermath adjustments and call it a day.

[HOoopCityJones]

and now they changed it back. These guys really think they can fool the internet?

Ooh , this might change the game. :eek:

[Horde of Temujin]

What a loser. Seriously, sportswriters are lame.

[niko]

As a Patriot fan do you really think he cheated? Or perhaps all these changes just happened "magically" without him knowing?

[niko]

One of the worst was Shumpert. He moved him up to mid first round when at the time he said it was a horrible pick and the Knicks could have got him min 2nd round.

[bagelred]

First Nixon had Watergate, and now Ford has Rankgate. Carter scandal forthcoming....

But seriously, how does he think he won't get caught? Especially from sports fanatics...it's just not worth it. Now he looks ridiculous and could actually get fired...

NOONE gets draft picks right...not even the experts. It's such a stupid thing to do.

Stupid dipshit: as if anyone gave a crap about his retrospective 'big-board'

So he didn't change the wording, just the order?

[bagelred]

LOL this is great:

it's actually worse. it's in retrospect you can see who is knowledgable and who isn't.

[Meticode]

Unfollowed. Lost credibility with me.

[iamgine]

I for one forgive him and look forward to his next draft board.

[niko]

Unfollowed. Lost credibility with me.
You followed him? Lost credibility with me. Oh wait you have none. :lol

[GimmeThat]

how he actually got caught, is beyond me.

[rezznor]

i'm amazed that it's 2015 and some people still don't understand how the internet works

[GimmeThat]

I actually don't even know if money is a touchy subject in the entertainment world which appears to be throwing massive amount of dollars on a project, consistently.

[Meticode]

You followed him? Lost credibility with me. Oh wait you have none. :lol
Yes I followed him. I found his draft boards interesting, not so much now.

Thanks for the honesty. Good burn man.

:rolleyes:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

His name is Chad Ford... Ford's HQ is in Michigan where Tom Brady went to college. Not surprising he's a cheater.

[Euroleague]

Were there actually people in the world that still thought Chad Ford was anything but a total hack?

MIND BOGGLING

[Euroleague]

ESPN is based in New England, and there are many Patriots fans who work there. Are you surprised that they would cheat?

It's almost entirely run by New Yorkers you moron.

[GimmeThat]

Should've
Would've
Could've

If he only made copies for others to interpret.



Credibility! Credibility!

[CelticBaller]

:rolleyes:
he's not wrong, that dude reeks of salt

[sp6r=underrated]

The uselessness of the edits is what makes this whole thing look so stupid. Chad Ford's Draft Board is supposedly a survey of what prominent people around the NBA think of the new prospects. It isn't his opinion of how good these prospects will turn out. It is illogical to retroactively reorder the list based on how good the players turned out.

I don't understand why he did this.

[They Won]

Hilarious.
