I know one thing. He better not be lying, or this is gonan get really really ugly.

Its an obvious PR piece--how did the post get access to the kids---you think they followed them to private schools? and the stuff about isiah crying--it ws a sympathetic PR piece.
Now If i had trouble, I would nOT involve my kids---why would you?

There is a simple equation to make this go away--call up the post and daily news and offer to take a polygraph and offer the same to the lady. Why drag it out? If you have nothing to hide, you take the test.

She has claimed that this has been going on since Thomas has arrived at organization but she doesn't seek legal advice until her dismal. Plus where she has reported to MSG right before her dismal, the matter was investigated and no evidence could support her claims. Not saying that she is lying or he is lying but the matter was handled poorly by all parties involve. But I still can't believe that Briggs has never heard of children of accused giving statements to the press. Hell if you are worth your weight in investigate reporting you would already have made contact with family members ahead of time. You think Brown instructs his wife to make statements about her husband coaching decisions. Or Kurt tells his wife to call up local radio stations in St. Louis to make comments. No I am sure that they have the same access to computers, telephones or any other mode of communication to request an interview to get their point across.

Brain scans are becoming increasingly reliable as a replacement for polygraphs. I think it will be a handful of years yet before they are used in situations like these.

wow, for real? Never even heard of such a thing.

Yeah. It hasn't been widely known until recently. It's gaining a lot more attention now that it's nearing full viability. Even saw a news piece on Google News about it just a day or two ago.

Heh. Actually Google has been uncooperative with the US gov, while cooperating with China on a censored version of their search engine. Yahoo and MSN cooperated with both govmn'ts.

Isiahs son seems like a good kid. Isiah takes him everywhere even on public outings. I think the two are very close. Josh (I hope I got his name right) probably wanted to speak out on it to protect his mom and sister. I'm basing that on what I have seen so far from the Thomas family. My opinion of course.

Also I just wanna say that isiah is a charismatic guy. He probably did make comments to her but not the ones she is accusing him of.

I personally think there is more to this thing. I think this chic wants money obviously with the k million dollar suit. Who else but isiah to take down? I think this is part of a conspiracy to get isiah fired.

It's absolutely despicable to make your children available to the media in an attempt to put yourself in a more favorable light in the public's eye.

The kid is under 18 so you know the reporter had to have Isiah's permission in order to interview him. That's just disgusting to involve your kid like that.

I'm not saying anything one way or the other about his innocence or guilt but that seems like the move of a desperate man.

Please before you make anymore statements like that. There is no such law or restriction for children under the age of giving or granting interviews. Investigative reporters don't use much of any restrictions, other than priting or saying what they quoted from a source. Read a paper, watch the news, children give interviews, and quotes on a daily basis. You think when a news reporter is reporting from a site, that he/she gets the child's parent blessing too. You wouldn't ever be to report anything live. LOL. It is called the 2nd admendment for a reason. The goal is to avoid liable.

i think if the child is being interviewed, it was encouraged by isiah's legal staff. if they felt it was unnecessary or a bad strategy, that interview would've never taken place. so i think most of the "blame" should go to his legal team and some of it to isiah for not saying "no".

So what you are saying that you are not aware of any case where a child grants an interview without permission from their parents. Wow. I am serious with this one but, next you guys see one of those news trucks, or see them setting up for on the scene stories, check to see if they get release forms from those kids parents. Reporters can go up to your child with you standing right next to him and try to get an interview if they want. You have the right to move the child and demand them to stop but if you aren't there, if your child wants to give the interview, there isn't anything you can do about it but try and sue the reporter or their media agency if you believe the story is based on liable from that reporter. 2nd Amendment is great guys.

pharzeone, with the situation the way it is, what kind of parents would isiah and his wife be if they had no knowledge or ok'd their kid talking about the case without either consulting with their attorney or didn't even tell their kid not to talk to reporters?

your going through some allegations. what should you tell your kids? "kids. i'm innocent. and if anyone talks to you about it, don't answer."

so it's either A. the thomas' never told their kids that, B. they did and their kids didn't listen, C. the lawyers knew and ok'd it

exaclty, no one knows what happened or how it happened, so to place blame on isiah for a reporter talking to his kid is ridiculous and in some instances reaching.

So when Bynum was 17 and on the Lakers reporters had to get his parents' permission to do interviews? I never heard of such a law.

This WAS/IS a PURE PR marketing puff piece meant to show Isiah as the sympathetic figure using his own kid as a conduit to do so. ANYONE who has worked in the real business world knows it. If you believe otherwise, that's your perogative. This is kind of getting absurd. I wish I didn't read this and I shouldn't have commented on it. I'd rather talk about basketball. It's not the fans fault this happened.

I Know Bynum's brother. EVERYTHING went through him and his mother. EVERYTHING. But how can you compare situations?

Earl, here's how I look at it.

People in very high places wield a great deal of power. Isiah is one of those. If you're a mega-million dollar a year executive for a major corporation, you qualify for the high and mighty in my book.

If you accept the perks of the power, you also accept the public scrutiny. When s**t happens on your watch you are the topic of tons of press and eveyone is gonna be talking about you.

That's the situation with Isiah right now. We'll all see how it plays out. But in the meantime we do know that some real powerful male executives are being named for some real inflammatory actions by a less powerful female executive, and that, my friend, makes for high-level fodder for public buzz and satire. As it should. Just like everything that that nimrod George Bush does. Just like the follies of that genius of decorum, BIll Clinton. Just like Bernie Kerik, Tom DeLay, Ken Lay, Dennis Kozlowski, anyone.

If Isiah ends up innocent, he can thank everyone who stood by him, reconfirm his dedication to a fair and equal workplace, etc., etc., and come out all the better. If he's guilty, then he's just another high-power schmuck who thought he could do whatever he wanted and no one could ever call him on it.

I'm not enjoying watching someone take a fall, as you say. But I'm not gonna let pass opportunities for humor and satire regarding the follies of the high and mighty either.

Marv - High and mighty?

Okay, lets make a sport of knocking all leaders off their pedestals at every opportunity. That will certainly get the ratings up.

The crafting of Isiah's image as some incompetent, arrogant, abrasive, aloof and not-to-be-trused individual is curiously negative in light of that same media treatment of an arrogant, abrasive, aloof and tempermental as Bill Parcells.
