A Public Apology To Everyone For The McNabb Trade Story

Awesome post, Steve.

 

Appreciate the man up SRW. I was annoyed by it for sure. I am on vaction in aruba and had about 5 minutes between pool time and dinner time to check the net. I saw the story on GIF and had a brief freak out ( I LOVE 5 and am not ready to see him traded) I was still a little sceptical BUT only because it is GIF and the source said Niners. (too convenient w/ Sweets man crush on 5 and all) Luckily the freak out lasted only as long as looking at the source. It was so obvious a fake I am really shocked someone who take as much an interest in the NFL as to be a reporter here would fall for it but everybody makes mistakes and it did have the ESPN banner and look. This won't shake my faith in GIF but I'm glad your "reporters" have been taught a lesson about confirming before rushing to be first to post. I also hope this serves to teach everyone how to spell McNabb's 1st name correctly.

 

thanks for the honest apology.

 

I've gotten so much more information from this site than any other website. Like others have said, looking at it quickly you'd think it was legit. This is still the place I'll go for info, no doubt.

Definitely heartbroken it isn't true though.

 

not heartbroken myself but disappointed. about as much as when i found out they extended reid.

 

Man whoever wrote that fake ESPN story needs to learn how to spell. . :icon_frown:

 

:word:

And whomever took that much time to make up such an article needs to get a freaking life.

 

Does that mean I should say goodbye to the $129.99 I sent to that (fake?) link for that McNabb 49er jersey? :icon_eek:

 

Nice work SRW on taking responsibility for the site as a whole. We're going to swear sometimes, but we also take quality here seriously.

ESPN didn't post it.

 

Don't try taking the time to explain it to Mike.

 

Turn down the bullcrap.

 

Thanks SRW...I think it's good for the site and makes it much more reputable to man up to our mistake. Crap happens...

 

Ok... I'll bite. What did you find in my post to be bullcrap?
