    Why would any newspaper care about Rick Reilly? We're a sports blog that frequently writes about the sports media.

    Or, in this case, posting unsubstantiated innuendo. Congrats. You're becoming the Perez Hilton of sports media.

    You may have to look at the post again - we're referencing another blog's post.
    EDSBS is one of the best and most respected college football blogs on the net. If they're wrong here, they're wrong.

    Newspapers, magazines, blogs ... nobody's flawless and sometimes, corrections are necessary.

    Yes, but your standards are far below those of reputable newspapers and magazines, neither of which would have run that, mentioned it or linked to it on their Web site.

    A newspaper would never report something like that without confirming it on its own. Then again, a newspaper wouldn't traffic in that crap. You are still liable to be sued for libel, even if you're not the original source.

    You sure that wasn't off the I Heard It From Your Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's Former Roommate blog?

    Sorry TBL, but if they're wrong, you're wrong.

    How's that verification coming TBL? Anyone in the press box confirm it yet? Surely you had to know someone there ... did you even try to confirm it?

    Newspapers, magazines and blogs all have different standards. I never said a paper would have run anything like that, or linked to it on a website. I'll do my best to get in touch with Reilly this weekend and ask him if the EDSBS item is wrong.

    You should've done that before you posted it on your site. Just sayin'.
