Fucking worst week ever at work and this just ruined my fucking weekend.

Ummmmm.....link?

No offense, DJ. But you've formed a habit on throwing some weird shit on this board in terms of trades/free agency news that has turned out to be false.

I follow college football recruiting. There are guys that like to act as insiders, and often times are wrong. No one likes those guys. Don't be that guy.

Most media guys are wrong.

That's why you have to know guys that talk to players, most of these media guys don't talk to players, they talk to execs and such.

Some players refuse to talk to guys, others don't.

Most shit is just media fodder.

Racist e-mail story should be breaking soon tho, from what my boy says.

He's mentioned getting his news from a FB thread before. Wouldn't surprise me if this is the same deal.

Apparently, one of the excerpts from the E-mail that my source has seen is "stupid n bomb can't do anything right"

I'll look like a complete asshat if it's not, and then I'll be in the DJ category where no believes anything I say.

Fucking tweet was deleted.....as well as the acct.

They delete accts on Twitter?

I get my info from an actual person tho, not from tweets or accounts or forums or anything of that sort.

Dude..........you're gullible.

If it's not coming from a reputable source (ie Woj, ESPN, etc...) don't run with it.

Exactly. If this is someone that comes from a position (someone close to a franchise, media member, related to exec, etc.) it's one thing. I've seen random people run with something from accounts on twitter. Turns out those random accounts are just trolling people.

^^^This^^^

And even then, if it's off of some social media account, you need to verify that it's the real person.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It certainly looked legit.....my weekend was looking to suck.

Not sure why Boston would even be interested in PG after drafting Tatum and Heyward damn near a lock to sign with Boston.

My buddy is close with the Rockets org, which is why I know a lot about Francis's situation.

He's basically best friends with Harden, and hangs out with a ton of players across all sports.

Deshaun Watson got too drunk and Ko'd on his couch last night, lmao.

I'll help you out DJ..

The story is coming from a Boston beat writer who works for CBS. No idea on his credibility. He's obviously no woj... but he's not a nobody either.
