    Back in the ABA, Marvin Barnes was playing for the Spirit of St. Louis. They were supposed to fly from Louisville back home, leaving at 8 a.m. and arriving at 7:59 a.m. He didn't want to take the flight, saying "I ain't goin' on no time machine."

    Yeah I remember that one. Marvin wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
    Back to the topic. I recall one of the best quotes I heard about journalism from Leonard Shapiro, then the SE of the Washington Post. It's a good one too.
    "One source stories are the syphilis of our profession."
