From the article:

 

"La Canfora has also become increasingly political on his Twitter page. His entire timeline is dedicated to Jan. 6, Donald Trump and supposedly racist white people. In sum, La Canfora was hurting the reputation of CBS Sports.

 

The network decides to stay in-house with Jonathan Jones as his replacement. Jones, not exactly a news-breaker, is most known for publishing a column that accused the media of favoring Carson Wentz because he has white skin.

 

Jones posted this story despite pages of examples that debunked his thesis. Nevertheless, the column got Jones’ name out there. So it was worth the lie."

 

Good on you CBS...fire one guy for lack of sources, spreading false stories, and pushing his personal politics...and replace him with a guy who apparently has no sources, and who made his name with a false story that involved personal politics. 🙄

At least he wasn't replaced by Josh Allen hater Bomani Jones.  I'm surprised his replacement isn't Judy Battista, who is already the insider on CBS owned Paramount +'s Inside the NFL.

Let's hope that one of his deepest passions is not now becoming a Moderator here on TBD!

The real question here is:  Is he any good at Haiku?

What does it take to become an insider?  What does Adam Schefter have to do to obtain the information that he does?  


Have it leaked to him…

 

Agents and GMs want to get their side of the story pushing their agenda into the media …

 

Appears that they didnt trust La Canfora to do this..

He’s still on the Baltimore FAN weekdays  on the afternoon shift, I heard him for a minute or so driving home last night.

"I was just terminated, but I'm ridiculously fired up."
 

Trust this guy as far as you can throw him.

Right, but how do you even get started?  What favors take place, I wonder.

You get or create a job in media where you can essentially provide 3rd party advertising space for player agents.

 

In my own business experience.......people who want to be paid for information will seek you out.   So I'd assume that is generally how a guy like LaCanfora finds a scout or front office person who can give them dirt for a few bucks.
