Alstott announcement...

While I noted the Alstott thing on AGM about 30 minutes before the first blurb showed up on ESPN, I added a following note to the story about the use of sources.

This is an educational experience for everyone. We all know established writers get hit with info that turns out to be slightly different, I was no different in breaking the Alstott "retirement" on AGM.

For my additional notes on the usage of inside sources, read the add-on here:

Yeah I just noticed that, you were close though. And I got to believe that a stint on the IR now will lead to a retirement very soon.

Thing is, in the business, being close and being right will lead to clarity and credibility in the eyes of the sports fan. Pretty much a slight bummer, but ESPN did the same flub ... about 30 minutes afterward, so I have a hunch there's some ESPN net dork scouring the blogs for stuff like this on a daily basis.
