Syracuse (CNN/WSYR-TV) - Bobby Davis, an alleged molestation victim of Bernie Fine, recorded a phone call with the coach's wife in 2002, according to ESPN. (Full story)
The tape, aired by the network on Sunday, indicates Laurie Fine may have been aware of her husband's alleged inappropriate actions.
ESPN's Mark Schwarz explained in an interview on CNN why the tapes were not made public back then.
“We did not go to authorities with the tape. The authorities did speak to Bobby Davis before the tape was made in 2002. He spoke to a Syracuse Police detective, who he says spent five minutes on the phone with him, and didn't even do a detective report... told him the statute of limitations had come and gone, and that is why Bobby Davis says he recorded the tape to try to at least corroborate his story this way.

Easy to understand why ESPN buried it..
That is what should happen, but will not.
So let’s see...all the sanctimonious ESPN blowhards that made Paterno out to be the devil...glass houses people....glass houses.
**** Sounds like ESPN covered for a pedophile. Let’s see if they take any responsibility. They sure massacred Paterno “for not doing enough.” ****
I see it the same way. Unfortunately, ESPN gets to control the coverage, it will be spun to make ESPN look like heroes.
I totally agree on both counts. The problem is ESPN IS sports. They are the judge, jury and executioner of sports issues.
I must have missed the explanation as to why they buried it...Title is pretty deceptive.
The Bernie Fine, Laura Fine and Bobby Davis triad situation is beyond bizarre.
Something does not ‘smell’ right in this story and it appears that ESPN,the Post Standard along with the university and Syracuse Police dept were all holding info back.
Why are you calling him a pedophile? That sounds so sanctimonious. He’s a child rapist and belongs in jail.
Maybe. So far we have the word of his wife, her boy toy lover, and the lover’s brother. Why would they lie?
After listening to the ESPN tape last night, there are at least four perverts involved:
1. The sodomite/fornicator “victim”
2. The adulterer wife
3. The homo/Bisexual coach
4. ESPN
4.
I watched the interview with the ESPN “reporter” last night. All of his answers to direct questions were non-answers -just a string of words restating what was already known - no real explanation as to why they withheld knowledge of child sex rape.
ESPN = Entertainment, Sports, and Pedophile Network. ESPN covered this up? Who had knowledge of this?
Should be interesting to watch. Boeheim was silent (if he knew) and keeps his job. The University is silent and no repercussions, Paterno reports what he was told to Univeristy authorities and is destroyed.
Maybe the message of the day is to keep your mouth shut?
4. The police who told the victim that the SoL had run out. They should have investigated for recent vicims and child porn
ROTFLMAOPIMP!!! Who takes responsibility for anything in this country nowadays? Cover up and move on is the order of the day...
ESPN always seems to have had a major thing for Syracuse and Boeheim in particular. They give them pub far out of proportion to how good they are at any given time.

Yoo-hoo...Buster...Reilly...there's a STORY brewing here. Oh, wait...
Hmm.
There are mandatory reporting laws. ESPN might get dragged into this yet.
