Golden Tate Clears Things Up

Detroit Lions receiver Golden Tate issued a statement explaining how he didn’t pork Russell Wilson’s wife, as is widely rumored. I’m not sure this was still on anyone’s mind so Tate’s insistence in the face of dead silence could lead one to believe he did it:

“I did not have an affair with Russell Wilson’s wife, nor did I have anything to do with his divorce. That is laughable for anyone who knows us. His ex-wife, Ashton, is still best friends with my girlfriend. Russell and I were good friends when I was in Seattle, on and off the field, ?he knows the rumors about me were unfounded, damaging to my reputation, and an attack on my character.”

If I was innocent I’d probably act the same way. Also I didn’t steal that five bucks from the collection plate in 1987. Alright you got me. I’m thinking a lot of this could be explained away as The Group Thing. Or maybe Tate is just offended that people would make such ridiculous assumptions. Maybe just a threesome in the hot tub? Much of this reporting is completely irresponsible. I’m going to publish it anyway but I’m not proud of myself. Sorry Father Steve.
