So because he got one rumor right, are we now supposed to believe everything that he says?

I think it's a little more reliable than the BOL rumor about les miles you were citing earlier as the reason you're exercising judgement now before biting hook line and sinker on rumors.

Not at all. You treat it just like many of the "annointed" ones on TD and the SEC Rant -- there are a few people that have come across big stories due to personal relationships. That means that have access to certain information, and have the potential to break a big story and be right about it.

Does it mean you believe them right away? No. But you don't just immediately discount them just because their name is not Buster Olney.

Especially when he DID break the biggest PED suspension a month before anyone else last year.

I'm not saying to believe this guy - but this rumor is getting some air time on sports radio (even if ESPN is not talking about it). So, it IS topical to the MSB.
