Malazan Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) gotta love the reporter circle jerk. If you can't give anything more than 'a source', then stop writing. Even if the source is Shawne Merriman himself, stop writing. Sources should be identified as closely as possible. If it was Merriman himself and you can't identify him then you say, "A player on the Bills who is familiar with the situation" and at that point, you need to have at least a second 'anonymous' source or otherwise, you're a Twobilldrive.com poster. We need to demand more from our local 'reporters'. Edited August 18, 2011 by jeremy2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 If this was a "real" breaking story, we would have seen some sort of mention on PFT website or ESPN.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Didn't we want merriman back on the steroids? I did. I just was hoping he wouldn't get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 This sucks. Any thoughts on what the penalty would be? Hope it's light. He, and Dareus, are the only good news this defense has right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KollegeStudnet Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I just got off the phone with my source... he told me Moran's "source" at the border is none other than....infamous Skooby from Florida ...& that Merriman drives a BMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I am calling BS less for the reliance on anonymous sources than that someone like Wawrow or an ESPN / NFL source is likely to have heard of this 2+ weeks old event before now.

He told me that chocolate covered donuts are tasty and purple drank is the shiznit. He says he could literally spend like 32 million dollars on those.

DrDawkinstein Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Did I read correctly that the NFL is testing for HGH on game-days? It would make sense for the league to do it then. HGH isnt something that they can just test for it's presence since it occurs naturally, and at different levels for different people. The only way to test for it, is to take one original baseline blood test, then you can re-test later and see if levels have gone up. And multiple blood samples need to be taken on different days. BUT if the player was on it for their baseline test, and stays on it, then it just looks normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 also, in his article he says friends of his in the mainstream media knew he had the info. so why didn't they report it in the mainstream media? Maybe they thought they were doing Moran a favor and letting him break it. Maybe this is his big chance to get a national gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
