And what you said is the difference between a reliable source and an unreliable source. Professional writers will check, double check and triple check thier sources to ensure all credibility prior to running a story. Shoot even I will check multiple news sources on a story before referencing it in a post. Not PFT though.
If PFT is just a bunch of guys doing "water cooler" talk as you say with no sources or checking sources, than it is no better than a tabloid "making up" outlandish stories and publishing them.

I can't take it anymore, this is like Buzz Bissinger ripping into Will Leitch all over again.
PFT is a blog. It's not a news source, its not even wikipedia, in fact the information that we're even talking about is in the section titled RUMOR MILL. He's not a reporter, he gives his opinion on stories that other people have written or heard about. The Favre to Redskins story started with Mike Francesa of WFAN, so to blame PFT is inaccurate, he's a blogger. So let's not attack PFT for not being a credible news source, to me it's like people being mad at McDonald's for selling cheeseburgers.
