Perhaps sockpuppet was not the best term to use, as it does appear to mean an online user account meant to obscure a user's identity for the purpose of getting around community restrictions and norms [such as when a troll is banned or to support an argument made by the troll's other account(s).] 

I just thought it sounded cool.  I should learn to check urbandictionary before throwing around odd phrases.  The term "puppet" would probably have been better in this instance. 

Chip Brown gained a reputation for being a sort of mouthpiece for the UT athletics department.  Some in the blogosphere think that when DeLoss Dodds needs to float an idea he may call upon Brown.  In this case it was a threat to end the UT-A&M Thanksgiving Day series. 

Here are some links discussing the accusation that he is a puppet:

Of course, it is entirely possible that he doesn't deserve that label and has simply inspired jealousy for being the reporter who broke the Pac-16 story last year.
