Grossi hilariously makes an ass out of himself again

Bad idea. Too easy for people to replace the N with an M.

Funny thing is if the made up rumors were we were talking to Belichick he would not run with it as it would be deemed a positive storyline

Not sure why you think this makes Grossi look like an ass.....unless you are saying he completely made this up. Which I do not believe for a moment. Now, maybe someone from the Browns there is feeding him a line of horseshit....but if those guys have been reputable sources in the past about things....then it is they who are the asshats and not Grossi.
Gip- seriously. Grossi ran with it without checking it out.

Uhm, the article said that this was confirmed by two sources within the Browns. If you have 2 ...supposedly knowledgeable sources telling you the same thing, how is that "not checking it out". Just curious.
I am not here to defend Grossi, but if any journalist has 2 inside sources telling you the same thing, why would that not be something to run with in an article?

Could it be the "inside sources" fed Tony a line of bull? IIRC, Grossi no longer has any inside sources after he got sent packing by the Plain Dealer.

That is my point...if his insiders feed him a line of bull...yet they have been reliable in the past...it would not be on him. And I don't agree with the latter. No matter what company's badge he has had on his lapel, he has still covered this team continuously for all these years. I don't think those sources give a rat's ass who he gets his paychecks from. Hell, with websites growing...it is a long way from the day that the team was only covered by the beat writers from 3 local papers.

Well I noticed Tony started a Land on Demand pay website. Seriously. Not buying. There's far better stuff out there if you want to pay money for inside info.

Not necessarily. That is the WKNR site. They are an ESPN affiliate. They advertise that all day and all night on that station. Since the Plain Dealer thing.....he has written for ESPN.com..and this is really simply be a continuation of his ESPN work. So, it is an ESPN entity...and what better name in sports can you have than that?

Or you know he made up the fact he had 2 inside sources and his 1 "inside source" was the guy trolling him.

The guy who started the rumor admitted it...and has the text to prove it.

Not really bashing Tony- but he got trolled with a phony story. Probably not to only reporter that's happened to.
Yeah, he does have a press pass and the ESPN contacts to work with, so he's not totally unreliable. But there's probably around a dozen other guys (like Lane Adkins et al) who are more connected than he is.... And I do find Grossi interesting when he's sitting in on Red Zone with Donovan and Dieken.

I think most of you guys worry way too much about who writes a story.....and little about the story itself sometimes.

Well, it was pretty easy to create an unfounded rumor. I hope no one puts 100% credence in a lot of articles, like the unfounded Lincoln Riley rumor that just sprouted... Some reporters are more credible than others. Or you forget MKC's unabashed love affair with Jimmy Garoppolo?

This is the problem with the twitterverse and modern age journalism though. Everyone is so quick to get the "hot" story, they don't fact check anymore. Even worse, there are zero repercussions for presenting misinformation.

The Lincoln Riley thing came from several ESPN talking heads on the TV this morning. What they said was that the Browns SHOULD interview...and hire Riley.....that was just their personal opinions. Though none actually reported that that was what the Browns were going to do. Just that it is what they wanted the Browns to do.

Some of us make almost the exact same comments about a situation like 3 hours after someone else made the same comments.

Some of us don't understand sarcasm.... or some of us think someone is saying the same thing as us when they are repeating a comment when they can't believe there absurdity of it.

Ding Ding Ding... We have a WINNER!
Would have also accepted "the irony of such a post by someone who consistently believes the last thing he reads."
