It was more to show that he absolutely has no way to get any inside information or that he knows any of the Jets coaches.
It almost seems like traditional media (beat writers, ESPN, etc) were completely cock blocked on this story. First to report, Cowlishaw and his extremely connected source. Then 1050's Doughtry and the 4am email, and finally fanhouse.com. Jack shit from Schefter, Mort, King, Vrentas, Mehta, Cimini, etc.
Once this deal is done they should merge it. For comparison, the President Barack Hussein Obama thread is at about 7500 replies. But that's taken 2 years....
The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (4AM Email - Revis in by Thursday?) New Stadium thread is insanely long, but that's because there are people here who would rather discuss where the game is held than the team on the field.
So after suffering through that useless Revis stuff ESPN just did, they go to Shaq VS? He started out playing Ben Roethlisberger in football, now he is playing Charles Barkley in golf?
The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (4AM Email - Revis in by Thursday?) That means nothing. It's league sources. They've been clueless all along.
just cause the league dosnt know about it doesnt make it not true... i bet they didnt know about the meeting at roscoe... the league probably doesnt know about all the meetings between teams and agents/players
RT @e_man: Today is August 24, Revis is on his 24th day of his hold out and his Jersey is 24. CREEPY. HE MUST sign today! LMAO
I've seen reporters use 'league source' plenty of times when they are referring the inside team personnel matters. It could mean anyone affiliated with the NFL, including team employees.
I love how everybody on the planet thinks "league sources" know anything at all. They only find out when a contract is presented to them to review.
Oh, then that is different. Of course "league sources" is such a banal term that it can and probably is used when they don't have a clue what is happening.
of course the jets are going to deny everything. the negotiations are confidential. until something is 100% done they're not saying anything when someone calls them to to confirm. this deal will get done soon.
