1 – You’re right. I shouldn’t have published it without being sure of what I wanted to say. But I’d rather make that mistake than float any more stuff out there that proves to be false later, as happened when I posted the story about Raji, Cushing, et al failing drug tests at the Combine. Bloggers get a bad rap for not being credible, and while I don’t think commenting on already established rumors is necessarily an inherently bad thing, I was pretty harsh on Crabtree based on hearsay rumors from unnnamed sources and I just didn’t think I was fair. Just because I hit the publish button doesn’t mean, in my opinion, that I should leave attacks on someone’s character out there. Regardless of the validity of the rumors on which the attacks were based, I was wrong. So I changed it.

2 – As to the rumors about Crabtree and the Browns, I have purposely not commented much on the NFL draft because so much of what you read this time of year is disinformation, hearsay, and smoke screens. I should have stuck with my guns. Those rumors are out there, but the Browns could also still take Crabtree at #5. So who the hell knows. I’m done trying to figure it out and just waiting until Saturday.
