    In all seriousness, do Bleacher Report "reporters" log on and post their own stuff without an editor seeing it? I'm trying to figure out, based on the first post on this thread, if he posted it directly or it went through an editor. If it went through an editor, was the editor "suspended" too? Or do Bleacher Report,ers, simply post at will?

    That's a valid question. It sounds like it was posted directly, based on how it was deleted for not providing a hyperlink. If that was such a crucial issue, wouldn't an editor have required that in the first place before it was ever posted? Just guessing here.

    So you stole your friend's scoop (if he's another reporter), or are bragging about breaking a story where the primary source is one conversation with someone I'm assuming is not Hugh Freeze, Pete Boone, Archie Manning or anyone else on the inside of the search committee's discussions.
    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that your friend is in the know, but these kinds of stories are not written based on one phone call. If you're going to run with that, you really need to do more legwork.

    And Hugh Freeze? Really? Ole Miss, as mediocre as it is, can't do better than that?
