Yahoo Sports Goodell’s state of the league, breaking down Chiefs-49ers & inside Washington’s revenge tour | Inside Coverage Jason Fitz is joined by Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein live in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII as the duo go behind the scenes on some of the most interesting storylines around the NFL. After discussing their various Vegas experiences so far this week (and how cool it is to be in Vegas for a Super Bowl), the hosts dive into the Roger Goodell press conference, which covered big issues ranging from the NFL’s gambling policy to streaming playoff games and much more. Charles calls for more clarity on the gambling policy and where the line we can't cross is, and Jori and Charles agree that it was once again apparent that Goodell’s bottom line is to make the NFL (and its owners) richer. The Washington Commanders hired OC Kliff Kingsbury, which leads to a conversation around the Ben Johnson fiasco, where Washington seemed to go on a media campaign against Johnson after he pulled out of consideration for the head coach job. Charles says it reminds him of the way NBA owners often operate, but it’s rare to see that in the NFL. Jason, Charles and Jori move on to discussing the Super Bowl, as the two reporters give their observations from being up close with both teams all week. Charles noticed that Patrick Mahomes seems completely locked in, and the Kansas City Chiefs appear to be almost nonchalant this week. Jori and Charles both learned just how impressed the San Francisco 49ers offensive coaches are with Brock Purdy and how quickly he picked up Kyle Shanahan’s intricate offense. He is not a system quarterback – he’s a franchise guy. The trio finish with their predictions for the game and how it might play out.

The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The author uses the term 'system quarterback' to describe Brock Purdy.
  • This is a biased statement as it implies that Purdy only succeeds because of his teammates and not due to his own skills.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author quotes Kyle Juszczyk saying 'Flip the formation and send tight end Charlie Woerner in motion on the third-quarter play against Green Bay Packers', implying that Purdy made a mistake by calling out to stay there when it could have been an opportunity for a delay of game penalty. However, this is not clear from the article as Juszczyk's intention was to flip the formation and send Woerner in motion on pre-snap motion which would have resulted in no delay of game penalty.'
  • The author uses a quote from Brock Purdy to imply that he was insulted by being called a system quarterback when in fact it's not clear if he was offended or not.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Brock Purvey shifted to a quick count, fielded the snap and delivered an immediate pitch to running back Christian McCaffrey who hit a seam upfield for a 39-yard touchdown.
  • Contradiction: A system quarterback might just be the key to success in football.
  • Contradiction: Brock Purdy realized that the play clock had nearly expired with just two seconds remaining, so he screamed 'Stay there! Stay there!' instead of proceeding with pre-snap motion and risked a delay-of-game penalty.
  • Steve Young views this label as complimentary and argues that critics would not characterize Purdy as a 'game manager' had he been a first-round pick.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The author quotes Kyle Juszczyk saying 'Flip the formation and send tight end Charlie Woerner in motion on the third-quarter play against Green Bay Packers', implying that Purdy made a mistake by calling out to stay there when it could have been an opportunity for a delay of game penalty. However, this is not clear from the article as Juszczyk's intention was to flip the formation and send Woerner in motion on pre-snap motion which would have resulted in no delay of game penalty.'
  • The author uses a quote from Brock Purdy to imply that he was insulted by being called a system quarterback when in fact it's not clear if he was offended or not.
