    It's unconfirmed. Do you run it? Or wait around for someone to confirm. In the internet age, you run it. Put a ? on it if you must.

    **Small add, insignificant, really ... hypothetical is Moddy's word, not mine.

    YOU DO NOT RUN ANYTHING THAT IS NOT CONFIRMED - GOD DAMN. HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND?

    Now, put "hypothetical" in your title or I will.

    So is there a rumor that he's leaving, or is this totally a fabricated piece of crap from TBL?

    Uh, the Watchdog at Newsday has it from 'sources.'

    Does that work?

    So if a newspaper blog reports it from 'sources' then it flies ... but if a random blog reports it, no good?

    If the watchdog has credibility, yeah. Most blogs have not been established long enough to have that kind of credibility.


    That said - I can believe it. All this Patrick stuff, the other changes. But I won't believe it until I see it credibily reported.

    The Watchdog is Neil Best. He's a seasoned newspaper veteran. He's been around a lot longer than The Big Lead.

    Nobody else is going to really report this. It matters not to the casual newspaper reader. So does hypothetical come down?

    You should get a comment from Matt Leinart's baby momma(s).

    So Neil Best is saying Reilly is leaving.

    If this is true, it's pretty damn big news. I'm suspicious of the timing of that (5 p.m. on a Friday) unless SI thought it really could keep it on the hush-hush -- and it can't. People notice.

    I definitely believe it... I'll bet SI is sick of paying seven figures a year someone who phones it in more often than not...
