Bennett reminds me of Jayson Blair. Neither should have had any doubt that they were going to be exposed (the former for a crippling addiction to gambling and the latter crippling personality disorder that led to a cocaine addiction and pathological lying) but they kept on going as if they could fool the world.

That is the best commentary on Mr. Bennett that I have read.

Agreed, that is why I took the potentially ire-drawing step of posting an ESPN article to metafilter.
