    Mike, this is Jack Edwards.

    You can choose to take shortcuts, be sloppy, reckless with


    inuendo, and mean-spirited, but you crossed the line when you
    lied about me this afternoon on your rant about how I
    characterized Brett Connolly. I heard it. I knew I hadnt said it.
    So I went to the aircheck, on which I have just wasted half an hour
    on a game prep day so I could set the record straight.
    Let me read you a transcript:
    ---[3:59 to play 1st period]
    [Jack] Fifteen minutes into his first Bruins game, we know a
    couple of things about Brett Connolly: Hes not afraid to be
    confrontational, and hell shoot the puck when hes got the
    chance.
    [Brick] Yeah, thats his bread and butter. Hes got one of the
    better shots in the National Hockey League and Bruins fans will be
    excited about that. You dont have to tell him twice to shoot it.
    [Jack] And on a team that has struggled for offense, thats why he
    was brought to Boston for a second round pick in 2015 and a
    second round pick in 2016, from Tampa Bay.
    [3:25 to play 1st period]
    [Jack] Three and a half to go in the first (etc., play by play
    continues)
    ---So no one ever said that Connolly had one of the best shots in the
    NHL, as you repeatedly shouted on the air during the 4 oclock
    hour. In addition, you at least a couple of times attributed the
    statement that never was made to me.

    Most rational people would agree that a characterization of a


    players shot as one of the best and one of the better is a
    significant difference. But rather than parse out your explosion
    over something that never happened, lets just put this subject at
    rest with this.
    You pose as a figure who challenges everyone, especially
    recognizable figures in sport and society, to be honest and
    accountable for making mistakes. I have made plenty and I will
    certainly make more, stylistically and factually, in the future. Im
    not perfect.
    But will you hold yourself to the same standard? You ripped me at
    the top of your voice in the 4 oclock hour of a holiday afternoon
    getaway. You were playing yourself in prime time by being a
    tough guy and slamming me.
    But you got it wrong.
    Man up
    .
