No but seriously, years of working "in the biz" provide me with certain access and sources, that I don't reveal. But while I may be privy to more info than many others, I probably get access to about 50% (if that) of what's happening. All of us "in the biz" do. Of course, it was much easier when I actually directly involved with the team (not an employee) and before Shanahan came along.

But anyway, I just tell you what I hear. Sometimes my info is accurate (Ladell Betts re-signing, not going after Peppers, trading for J Brown, signing Grossman and Torain, trading Campbell, etc.); sometimes the situation changes (Dansby, Antonio Bryant, etc.); and sometimes I'm just flat wrong (throwing a lot of money at Sproles, not trading for McNabb, Steelers not franchising Woodley, etc.). When I'm wrong, I'll tell you. I won't spin it like some other insiders out there.

Well, I'm glad we have you as a source on this board.
