IF IT HAPPENS

Goddamn some of you folks really deserve to be chastised. Listen to the fucking words they say. If they're throwing out qualifiers like that then they're guessing! Just trying to keep the conversation (and ratings) going.

Amazing times we live in when CNN is called fake news but some rando with a twitter account is a reliable source.

If we trade a Pro Bowl qb for the #2 overall pick I quit. I couldn't care less who the qb is at that point.

Its because the NFL is more important than anything else going on.

It makes you realize how little critical thinking people actually do. It used to be something most did, maybe because the news cycle wasn't so fast so people had time to digest information and think about it for a bit. Now it comes so quickly, people just seem to react.

Nobody wants to go through the process of filtering rumor from report, conjecture from fact, or even considering sources. It leads to a lot of stupid shit being bandied about on the internet, sports or otherwise. Is nobody concerned about their reputation anymore? If you get caught up in rumors often enough don't you start to feel stupid, or at the very least gullible? If you read Breitbart and buy into some of their manufactured shit, or Occupy Democrats and fail to recognize how they cherry-pick facts and purposefully omit others, then you're in the same boat as those who believe some blogger on the internet who says KC to San Fran is "all but done".

Let's step it up guys. We are The Warpath, for a long time we've been the smartest Skins board on the net. You have to question everything you hear. Nothing wrong with sharing rumor, but at the very least ask whether others think it can be trusted. Better yet, think about it yourself and offer original thought that's grounded and measured.

Matty this is obviously not directed at you, I just chose your post to reply to.

Well said Schneed. There's so much noise coming from all sorts of directions that one doesn't know what to believe. Even trusted sources have fallen prey to fake news. I think society was much better off when we didn't have news so readily available. If you didn't read it through the news papers, watch it on the 6 o'clock news or the 6:30pm World News, then you just didn't hear about it.

This is why I am starting to get slightly concerned about Kirk staying. When you hear names like Ian Rapaport getting involved you start to wonder. And unfortunately for the most part when there's smoke with the Redskins there's usually fire, we have earned that rep and then some.

Well, even Rapaport fell prey to the misinformation and reported it when there was no evidence of truth. He probably went on the assumption that the Redskins were foolish enough to trade Cousins for Romo.

That being said, I think we all should just believe it when we see it. As long as nothing concrete has happened yet, then Cousins is a Redskin.

Well there is always the theory (yes I know) that Bruce Allen asked Rapaport to report that insane Redskins/Cowboys/49ers bs to get the heat of the McC story. How true it is? Idk. But I can definitely see our front office trying to cover up bad press with some other bs.
