I'm being entirely serious. That site is where just about every ridiculous unfounded rumor gets started. Then they spread around the internet like wildfire. I'd rather not see the Warpath be contributing to this in any way shape or form.

Keep in mind Pro Football Talk generates revenue through site hits. Everytime you visit, it drives up their stats and makes them more valuable to advertisers. They'll throw these rumors out just to draw people to their site. They definitely know their stuff is bogus but they're doing it anyway to make a profit.

I'm not saying the Warpath should launch a boycott or something like that, but I think it'd be cool if the Warpath put itself above absurd rumors and maintained site quality by insisting that we stick only to verified stuff, or insider info that certain members of the site (SS) may be privy to.

I second the motion--it would save us from a fair bit of nonsense.
