Anyone who watched the game yesterday saw Griffin as one of the first guys to congratulate teammates after a score, including Cousins.

Who cares if they don't like each other, every team has guys that don't get along. Big difference between being friends and teammates.

Posted it earlier as I saw it with my own eyes.

Cousins is fine for what we r doing like I've said before he's our Andy dalton, will he ever make u say wow he's elite? Highly doubtful but if he can just get us 240 yards and 2td or so a game we r fine

I think you have to see what the local guys say at this point. Remember alot of their info differed from Schefter last month.

[Evilgrin]

He also accused the "washington media" of trying to "squelch" the story. So instead of being more specific, he accused everyone.

Lots and lots of assumptions about how information is gathered, reported, and "sourced."

I will respond with my own assumption - that no one responding in this thread, other than SS, (1) works in sports media; (2) has specific knowledge of any statements actually made and attributable to a specific player or Redskins' employee; (3) no one has specific knowledge of how "porous" other teams are when it comes to "leaking" information.

Cole's reporting on this has yet to be substantiated by any attributable source. Further, to my knowledge, no other reporter, either locally or nationally, has indicated that their own "sources" support the claim of Cole's unidentified source. Based on my past observations, if there was any truth to the statement, one or two (at least) other reporters with different "unidentified sources" would be chiming in saying things to the effect "that's what my guy says too" or words to that effect. The fact that no such statements have been made and, in fact, most local media has shot down the statement or been implicitly supportive of RGIII's public denial speaks volumes to me about the credibility of the original report.

As to leaks, I just don't think the Skins have any more than any other team. Given the attention caused by a former rookie of the year and "face of the franchise" player falling out of favor with all sorts of side issues - conflicts with coaches real and imagined, vocal parents, and the player constantly (until recently) making controversial or unwise statements to the media, reliable individuals within the organization are likely to speak out of turn and reporters are likely to provide the information b/c it is generally of interest to the fan base.

I suspect that "leaks" have been going on for years (decades), but are just much more accessible in this era of instant information gratification.

I can only imagine the field day social media would have had with the 1990's Cowboys.

the red flags for me...1)the headline is blantently false seeing that cousins and rg3 were on tv speaking with each other and with coaches just 48 hours before. 2)For folks who have been on the internet before, the headline is clearly a troll or clickbait in a TMZ like style. 3) Its the Bleacher Report website

I know the response to leaks in Ashburn are different then in Chicago.

I remember when Aarom Kromer leaked information about Cutler. It wasn't pretty for him.
People were asking Trestman if Kromer was gonna be fired. Kromer actually made a tearful apology to the team which,lol, of course got leaked.

[That Guy]

good journalists verify accounts by getting a 2nd source and also check the credibility of their sources/how they got that information. ideally you want the 2 sources to both be attributed too, so there's transparency.

this looks like one guy using hearsay to as clickbait. the facts don't support his claims and the local journo's don't either. nothing to see here, let's move along.

[calia]

Good grief. Ignore this nonsense. Let's just focus on the impending beat-down of the G-nats.

[MTK]

Seriously who cares. It's tabloid BS.

[Kope]

Eagles game should close this thread I think.
