Heard a rumor
 

I heard on the radio out here in Raleigh, that Clinton Portis had sustained a serious injury weightlifting today...
Can anyone else confirm this?!

It was an elaborate hoax. Check back a page and all the details are in that thread.

It was a hoax. Portis is fine.

Unfortunately. I hate that fucker.

Doh! Sorry for the wasted thread space :(

likewise.

I kind of like him...Him acting like a piece of shit got him out of our conference.

I hate CP,do mad its not true.

We should start a bogus rumor and see how far it gets.

We have nut hooks for people who think like this.

Yup. That shit aint funny.

I'm glad he wasn't hurt he was my top pick, I really don't wish anyone serious injury though, no matter how much i dislike them.

thats just your vagina talking thru you... :)

Yeah I can't wait till the chiefs season starts, that will be the end of that. Watching the Royals suck all summer has made me soft for the moment.

KC Nut, is that you?

Zach started it.

My sources in Las Vegas tell me that Champ Bailey has diarrhea and is questionable Sunday.

CBS Sportsline wrote an apology on their site about the screwup.

As someone who has worked in the "internet reporting" field for several years, this is a MAJOR no-no.

I bet some heads rolled after this gaffe happened.

Funny story, apparently the Bears bought the story just like the rest of us and called the Skins to see if they would be willing to trade for A-Train because Portis was out. The Bears even upgrade A-Train to show the Redskins that he was healthy and could help them.

All because someone played a prank on a message board and some CBS Sportsline writer saw it and considered it gospel.

Zach's a bitch.

ROFL Wow I didn't realize it had gone that far. That's horrible. Over on a Skins' board I saw that Comcast Philly supposedly reported the "injury" as fact, and so did a D.C. sports talk radio station, although apparently the radio station quickly figured out it was a hoax...

If I heard that Priest had a weight room injury and was out for 8-12 weeks, I would not be able to get it up ever again. The mother****er who came up with that story would have to hide real well, 'cause I'd hunt his ass down, break both of his knees and cut his dick off...


OK, maybe not, but I'd feel really shitty for those couple hours.
