Can we also partially blame OP? This isn’t the first time he’s posted complete nonsense from random twitter people who are no more in the know than me or anyone else on this board.

Come on man, don’t do his boy “BillyM_91” like that...world renowned Twitter Analyst.

Sure we all know what the OP is. But Sheena is an "accredited journalist" and has a duty to vet her reporting. If she reports garbage like this somebody will post it here. That was her goal.

Yep. The "real" outlets have had to get a lot more lax with their reporting in an effort to compete and that's how we get widespread "legit" reporting that Antonio Brown has been traded to the Buffalo Bills.

To be fair, Rapoport reported that it was nearly done, not done. And at the time, he was correct. It was people here who ran with it being a done deal.

Drew Rosenhaus has since come out and said that Brown wasn't the one who killed the deal. It was the Bills, who balked at the final numbers.

Then why tweet it?

Easy.... clickbait. Pretty much just assume that 95% of what reporters/media people say are straight up lies or guesses

Would Rosenhaus openly admit to his client killing the deal even if he did? Nothing to be gained from it.

Nothing to be lost, either. His deal is done. And he's admitted to shenanigans before.

From what I read of his statement, I don't think he's lying, and honestly nothing would stop the Bills from calling bullsh-t if he was.

Locked thread.

Changed title.

Just because someone reports something on twitter does not mean it's news or real.
