Was it worth reporting on?

Why didn't they just interview him and after the draft say, "oh btw, laels ex was shot. He's got no knowledge about it".


I am trying to look at this as if it were not an lsu player.

If it were say, an nc state player or uva....would I consider this news?


What if Lael had no knowledge of this in any way? This is terrible timing and I have to wonder about the police making a statement about this.

It's not about the school, it's about his projected position

the statement they're making is that they are going to do everything they can to solve a murder. should they not interview someone who might possibly be the father of the child she was carrying?

Try to look at this as it not being someone famous at all and you knew the girl murdered. Wouldn't you want police to follow up on any and every possible lead. Yeah it sucks for Collins that it's two days before the draft, but that's life sometimes. Are they supposed to put their investigation on hold because one of the persons of interest has a job offer in a couple days?

Like it or not the media is gonna spin it however they can to get a juicy story with lots of clicks.

See also Jacques Doucet with the Shady's fight.

Yes. Because Schefter got the story from people in the NFL itself. Teams already knew about it. If Collins had suddenly dropped down the board on Thursday night without an explanation of why teams were concerned about him, it would have been an unexplained mystery.

NFL teams are concerned so it is a story. Now, how it was reported is another matter and draws understandable scrutiny.

It worth reporting on for the clicks, the tweets, and the additional content the news outlets can get from it.

Public personality connected to a murder victim is always news.
