Don't know about insider, but often it seems like you parrot off of twitter feeds without referencing them. It's not hard to add a twitter handle, or website acknowledgement, like "from ESPN", or "Foxsports said". That way when people read a post of yours they know who is reporting it, and that way if you are making an opinion post, ie - I believe we will sign so and so soon, people know that you are just expressing an opinion.

Personally, I generally discount what you are saying, even though a lot of it is from valid sources, because I don't know where the information is coming from.

A few people are guilty of this it seems. It's probably not always intentional but we definitely need to get back to posting links/sources whenever possible.

I tend to forget adding sources, because sometimes its multiple sources and other times its a random person on twitter who is an unknown. Then there are times that people just don't post any source so I just cut it down and get it to the point with articles. Ever since Matty asked for sources I've started putting them up.

Then again aren't we all sources. Aren't our sources getting them from other sources who are getting them from other sources who are getting them from the agent or player?
