he just didn't write it out, but of course he means "I checked my sources, and what this dude tweeted is true". You think Scheft just retweets anything without checking? :beli:

this. at least with schefter he most likely does get a report within minutes of the story breaking and just wasnt first with it. broussard quite clearly doesnt have the scoop, like when he sent out the pelicans gettiing the sixers 1st round pick at the draft instead of the opposite, which is a mistake that was only sent out by wojo then sharked by the other "reporters" like andy katz and chris broussard

Most journalists like Schef calling up an organization to reconfirm what's already been sourced by another writer won't say they've sited their own "source."

shyt is just hilarious with your boy Broussard.

Of course the ATL
Find a tweet from another major sports journalist citing "sources" as confirmation of a story that another journalist broke. :stopitslime:

Best believe Scheft had his own sources on those stories, but he doesn't cite them, he just confirms the stories.

YOU are trying too hard to be different.

What difference would it make if I found you 50 tweets like that? :what:

Why is a reporter substantiating a report an issue? Y'all already know sources is Broussard's code word for himself, why is this thread worthy?

ok so Ive been looking into it and it seems Broussar has a reputation for taking public knowledge as well as direct conversations with subjects and repackaging it as coming from "sources"


I take my "NYC Rebel is wishing he never made this thread" comment back

turns out that comment actually came from a press release

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/sun...t-eric-gordon-offer-sheet.html?nclick_check=1

"After visiting the Suns, the impression the organization made on me was incredible," Gordon said in a statement through his agent, Rob Pelinka. "(Suns Managing Partner) Mr. (Robert) Sarver, (President of Basketball Operations) Lon Babby, (General Manager) Lance Blanks, the front-office staff and Coach (Alvin) Gentry run a first-class organization and I strongly feel they are the right franchise for me. Phoenix is just where my heart is now."


according to my source Erik Malinowski at
