Is this where we talk about how Florio being all shifty and click-baity got him scooped on his scoop about Willis retiring? Get hosed Florio.

yeah this sounds great

PFT had a post this morning about a shocking (their word) revelation about a key 49ers piece that isn't coming back and that we should all ~stay tuned~ and then about 15 minutes later Rand Getlin (Yahoo) broke on Twitter that it was Patrick Willis retiring.

The idea of an exclusive in sports journalism is laughable. Nobody cares if you're wrong and sources are allowed to be anonymous. Someone else is going to have the scoop within minutes

If he had just come out and said it, he would have been the scooper. It's one of the best LBs of the last decade retiring. You don't really have to tease that.

People do it with rape all the time, and that also ruins lives. There have been several rape accusations that were never proven, but idiot sports fans still sling them around as a way to insult teams/players.

Gaze into the abyss . . .

But goons aren't running a business and using their platform to get Real Mad about April Liar's Day.

The Greg Jennings one was good though because it was a legit prank, the others were just lies.

This has been an opinion post about April Fool's Day.

Goddamn you folks sure do hate people based on how they pay for food to not die.

Maybe I'm sensitive to this because I've been two of the most hated/derided industries (airport CSA and insurance adjuster) but it's this massive backlash against someone just based on who signs their checks.

They actually have discernible differences in game play that any fantasy football player would understand (kicker vs no kicker, flex spot, PPR scoring--DK has two pitchers in baseball). Getting that across in a commercial would be clunky though

It means he successfully sold out as hard as he possibly could.

In 2016, he's nowhere near as influential as Evan Silva though.
