Indy Dave Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 On the CBS fantasy sports page, there was a story about Portis suffering a "weight room injury." There was another story about Ladell Betts being the starter for Sunday. I saw this two minutes ago. Now the stories are gone. Nothing on CBS Sportsline or ESPN.com. Anyone else hear anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Dave Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 link please? 24329[/snapback] Like I said in the original post, I can't provide a link because the story was gone. I'm not making any of this up, I promise you that. But the story was there, then it was gone seconds later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I haven't found it in writing anywhere, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox sports radio got it wrong. If he's ok it's just another reason to never trust anything you hear that Fox says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Interesting guys....CBS Sportsline had it on their site and took it off. I got this from the Skins message board. It's one darn good hoax, especially if it was the radio too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Obviously someone fromCBS and Fox Sports got the scoop from pkwwjd, then realized it was bogus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 that's really impressive to me that the fake was that good. It made it on the air! I believed it, as many of you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eventualchamps Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Indy Dave - I saw it too on CBSportsline and also saw it disappear....very weird. I feel bad for Portis if true, but I just picked up Betts for my fantasy team just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinVA Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Like I said before the web site looked Identical to nfl.com and I even printed it so I could show my friends that I didn't fabricate the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkwwjd Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 as much as I like to take credit for the bogus report, I don't want to. It was really well done, fooled me big time, and I rushed to post it here because I wanted to be the first so I wouldn't get flamed for being second ("didn't you see the other post" "check before you post" etc.) My mistake, but I'm glad others got fooled too -- especially if it was on the air. Internet mistakes are one thing, but on the radio too? wow. Next time I link to a bogus article, I'll make sure it leads right to pixyland!
