Journal reports picture of deception in Krebs' statement.

The Journal reports this morning, link, on an ESPN report.

New to the mix, according to the Journal;

The network's reporting indicates Locksley's confrontation wasn't an isolated incident.

Stakeholders have been told that Locksley will be fired if this happens again; implying a record of violence will be handled differently from isolated violence. Yet, there is a history of violent confrontations that was apparently not brought up, as Locksley's punishment was being contemplated.

Further, the ESPN report contradicts the UNM version of the dust up between UNM Head Football Coach Michael Locksley and one of his assistant coaches.

I thought the Krebs' version was fishy from the start. He told the press that no one who was in the room at the time testified that they had seen Locksley throw a "punch". Much attention has been paid to the meaning of the word "punch", a dead giveaway that there is some deliberate deception in play.

Krebs did not object when "no one testified that they had seen a punch thrown" morphed into "those in the room testified that no punch was thrown". There is a huge difference.

It is significant, when UNM Human Resources interviewed six people inches from the scuffle, none of the interviews was recorded. "Notes", not a transcript, were taken, apparently, by a UNM lawyer in attendance.

In a situation where the basic meaning of words like "punch" and "choke" are in dispute, the actual words used by eye witnesses are of huge significance. Yet, the actual words of eyewitnesses were not recorded by the highest level UNM officials who investigated the incident. Why?

None of these people ever seem to learn; tell the truth, take the consequences. They always end up not only having to take the consequences for the original misconduct, but additionally they suffer the consequences for being dishonest about the original problem.

Let's hope there are actual consequences for the good ol' boys
in the leadership of the UNM for choosing to not tell the truth.

Let's also hope for world peace, food enough for everyone,
and an endless supply of non-polluting energy.
