    What should Sports Illustrated do with journalists guilty of the same offense? Here's the retraction on the erroneous Bj Raji report:

    Tony Pauline is the guilty party, and yet, you click on "NFL" on si.com and what pops up as the lead article? Pauline's Risers/Sliders. Nothing from Pauline himself. No "Gee, I'm sorry for possibly sabotaging a kid's future. My bad."

    I vote permaban, personally.

    I really doubt NFL teams get their information on combine drug tests from SI.com

    I don't think anything too major is reported, SI is a rumour hotbed more than a honest sporting analyse if you ask me. Sure that he had to apologise to his editor for putting them into a situation like this.

    I bet Pauline was taken for a ride by some team wanting Raji to fall to them in the draft. I figured the same for all the talk last year of McFadden not being suited to the NFL game. Also figured the same for the negative rumors swirling around Gholston, well rumors are sometimes true.
