ESPN NEWS: Shanahan to KC?

[Dylan]

Seems in the sports world, breaking stories is becoming more important that getting to the truth. Only a third rate sports reporter would string a rumor along -- The sports reporter with integrity, would tell you that there's no confirmation to the rumor, but we're working to clear it up.

I have a feeling ESPN is looking for instant gratification -- Fired today, hired today. The first media outlet to move onto the next story. But, don't let facts get in the way of a feel good story.

My guess, ESPN is sick and tired of being out-scooped by Jay Glazer and Adam S. (sp) Just my opinion.

True but that is the way the media as a whole is anymore with the 24-hour news cycle.

BTW what did you have for lunch the other day?

LOL... We ordered in pizza -- It was good.


That's why it is recommended to stick with America’s most influential newspapers. They know that sources can be munipulitive, agenda driven and can be dishonest. There are good reasons to use anonyomous sources -- However, we're talking about sports -- To label most of their information as news, would make mainstream media go nuts.

Sports is what it is -- Entertainment. lol
