Marreese didn't want to own her comments about Raymond and GS when he tweeted a series of tweets denying his statements for an article. Problem is:
If Speights is talking about these quotes, Strauss confirmed to me he recorded them and fact checkers listened to the audio before the story was published. Maybe this is my bias both as a journalist and someone who knows Strauss, but I believe Strauss. I don’t think mainstream sports reporters are in the habit of making up quotes and attributing them to specific famous people. I also don’t think Ethan would be foolish enough to double down if he weren’t certain the audio verified the quotes.
