That’s it for my ‘reporter’ attempts my friends. The one time I played ‘reporter’ with rock solid info I got burned. From now on I’ll stick to throwing opinions and links up here and then take what you guys want to talk about and run with it.
Obviously the Huxtable hire trumps my news that Tomsula was going to be hired on staff. The word I got was that Tomsula had accepted the DC offer from PITT over the holidays. What actually transpired was that Huxtable, as the primary target, changed his mind after Tomsula was contacted and he accepted the DC position.
Now, I’m in an ethical dilemma. Do I bite the bullet and never ever reveal my source like a real journalist would do, or do I weigh that against my great friendship with a guy who, while remaining nameless, has reason to fly to the West Coast to be with an ex-Panther family member on a NFL team there and then parties at the post-game tailgate with that team’s coaching staff, including Tomsula, and players where he learns this information first hand?
No, I’ll take the high road and will not revel that source and will use this incident as a learning experience. But you can be sure I’ll keep it in my back pocket as something I can beat over my friend’s head until his wallet, debit card and any line of credit he may have runs dry at the bars this season as payback for setting me up (even though he truly didn’t set out to do that).
So, my apologies to you all and I’ll stick to my own predictions from now on. One of which is that Malcolm Crockett is going to surprise us with the amount of PT he gets at RB.
