I'm sure many have read the long form article on Deadspin about Jones that came out before the Cormier fight. Jones and company gave him a ton of access to their inner workings for his article. It sounds like he had to win their trust beforehand.
Anyhow, I think the article is fair, and I'm impressed with Greg Howard's ability to write honestly and not fall into the trap of doing fluff/promo pieces in exchange for continued access.
When the coke news broke, Howard was already quoting his sources at Jacksons saying that they were surprised it took Bones this long to pop. That told me that he is not in any way trying to kiss Jones's ass.
Do you think that Greg Howard is now persona non grata with Jones and company? Do you think they feel "duped" in giving him access?
