This was just a leak test by leadership. They talk about cuts, different cuts to different groups of people in their organization, and see which makes the news.
Westbrook cut? Oh, guess so-and-so can’t be trusted.

PFT is not a reliable brand, so all the lies told here cannot undermine its credibility. It has none.

How about we go back to real journalism before the lefties in this country destroyed it. How about we make people verify their information from 2 or 3 sources before spreading rumors around the internet where a bunch of dorks like us can get all excited about it.

Schefter is just another talking head who was a friggin nerd when he was in school. All of these guys would sell out there mother if they got to report it first on their homo twitter page. This is getting ridiculous. These guys should be held accountable for things that they write. I mean if he reports Westbrook is cut and HAS NOT BEEN… Good Grief!

nice cheap shot at Wise when you consistently spew hearsay garbage

So Schefter tweets some nuggets about the Bills and the Redskins, doesn’t reveal his sources, and then one piece is denied vehemently by the team and one is proven wrong by an actual team beat reporter. So for all you know, he may have done exactly what Mike Wise did….?

This story had NOTHING to do with the subject posted.
This has more to do with Florio trying to cover his arse for believing sources that continuously make him look like an arse.
PFT = Blog
Florio = Perez Hilton of Football

Are you still on this Wise stuff?
Get over it!
You look dumb because you trusted a twitter account that said “…I’m told.” as the only source of the information.
I would say that’s your fault for reporting something that wasn’t verified at all without looking any further into the matter.
Give it up.

Who is “Byron Westbrook”? Is that Brian’s evil twin?
I’d assume it is a typo but it is in there twice.

Florio please.
I’m a patient man, but constantly referencing an already tired story is becoming irritating. Instead of your lawyer hat, put on your NBC/PFT marketing hat. Is it really useful to keep irritating your customers?

the problem is that the media want to be first to “break” a story, so they throw all sorts of “might happens” at the wall in the hopes that they can say they got it first…why there is a need to break a byron westbrook story i’ll never know…
also, wtf is with westbrook’s parents..who names brothers brian and byron..

Headline of this should read.
“Mike Florio wipes Shefter’s brick off his lips”.
Not so quick to bash people like mort and schefter when they are wrong yet you will hit up the little guys and go after them hardcore. I think you are afraid of the worldwide leader.

You have a nice site with interesting info, but your repeated and unnecessary bashing of Wise is crossing over into territory of dangerous obsessions. He’s been suspended. Isn’t that enough for you? Do you treat your kids this way?

What I don’t “get” about sports reporters is why they feel the need to report things that “might happen” no matter how likely.
Things that MAY happen but have NOT aren’t news.
A site like this is one thing. But legitimate journalists (sorry Florio) don’t need to prognosticate. Just report the news.

“But Rick Maese of the Washington Post (which we’ll continue to cite as a reliable source despite the best efforts of one of its columnists to undermine the brand)…”
Try not to look too much like a smug idiot, people here still remember how you told us Terry Bradshaw was dead, yet some still believe everything you write.
Oh, and Steve Smith is still looking for a face to face meeting, in case you ever get the gonads to try.
