It is a reasonable presumption.
It’s absolutely is- Joe Maimone runs both. Talks the exact same and both accounts claim to have visited BS in July traveling from New Jersey
Yes. Joe Maimone is the guy.
Isn't Joe the guy that was married to that Teresa gal on that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reality show-- who went to jail for some kind of scam-- then got out and she divorced him?
Actually I have some respect for Hoban. Midweek of the Hoban BS game. BS had like 15 players. They were apprehensive about playing the game due to BS lack of numbers. That’s when someone not making a dime off of this mentioned $25,000 and lawsuit. They’ve kept their mouth shut so far
He was quoted in the Beacon after the game complimenting them for making the trip and lauding them for what they were doing with the kids. It came off as a little bit ignorant and self-serving.
I think there is a lot of self-serving commentary going on here. IMO it's a little sad and more than a little hypocritical for ESPN and Paragon to be falling all over themselves claiming they had no idea that BS was, in every conceivable way, BS! They may not have been actively part of the fraud like Richardson and Johnson, or even Jersey Joe and PGL, but they knew or should have known that BS was illegitimate. How many red flag do you need!?! The same thing goes, albeit to a lesser extent, to the schools who scheduled these charlatans. After the debacle that was COF, after the charade BS played out last season, how could anyone be "duped" into believing this wasn't just a mercenary organization? And now that the curtain has finally been pulled off exposing this for the fraud that it is, I find it amusing that everyone is jockeying for position to point the finger of blame at someone else. Certainly BS and its promoters are the most culpable in this mess, but there is egg left on the collective faces of all who bought into this. And to have all these entities rushing to claim "We had no idea BS wasn't legitimate!" It reminds me of the scene from Casablanca where Captain Renault proclaims "I am shocked to learn there is gambling going on in this establishment!" as he pockets his winnings...
Well stated EagleFan, but I would argue that when a top notch program plays them, without doing their due diligence, they implicitly validate the program. It is certainly tough to schedule when you are a top program but at the same time does a mid-season scrimmage and the controversy that comes with it do you much good?
