Heard a rumor

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.
