Givens signs with the Browns (False Report)

[FRPLG]

Clayton:
The first weird free-agency report of the night came from Cleveland, when the team's Web site reportedly signed Patriots wide receiver David Givens and Ravens punter Dave Zastudil. The only problem was it wasn't true. Givens' agent, Brad Blank, has his client on a 7 a.m. flight to Miami to visit the Dolphins, and he almost didn't send Givens to Cleveland because of the erroneous report. Blank theorized that someone hacked into the Browns' computer, but he emphasized that no deal is done. Givens is scheduled to visit the Browns on Sunday if he doesn't sign with the Dolphins on Saturday.

Does anybody realize how unlikely and how difficult it is to hack into an NFL team website? On top of that, who is going to hack into an NFL team website and post erroneous reports about two relatevely obscure FA signings (look, if I could crack the Cowboys site, their front page would show Jerry Jones and Tuna having a three way with a donkey)?

Something stinks here. ESPN is showing their bias again.

Nobody hacked that site. That's as ridiculous as us fielding 20 rookies this season.

There's a reason the clowns to write this trash are on the Internet and not TV. Because they're clowns. Fat, ugly clowns.
