CC: Rumors and Harbaugh open thread

Submitted by michgoblue on
[ed-S: Jeff Ross isn't even making the announcement today anymore. I won't fight the rumor threads but nothing seems to have changed from Brian's post yesterday. So I have changed the title here. Go ahead and have your thread; nothing I've got has changed my belief that the ball is still in Jim's court.]

I expect that if there is anything of significance that comes us, there will be new threads created. For now, for those of us up early scouring MgoBlog for anything of interest on the Harbaugh, Miles, cc front, let's use this as the general discussion thread.

By the way, thanks, Internet, for making me exhausted today! The Twitter / board frenzy around 11 last night cost me a good hour and a half of sleep. Harbaugh needs to announce that he is coming home pronto!

That's the news food chain in action.  First the internet fever swamps, sketchy blogs, and random people's twitter feeds.  Then more legitimate blogs and pay "insider" news sites pick it up.  Then MSM sports people's social media feeds and some talk radio.  Then most of talk radio as well as sports columnists in their official columns/articles.  Then ESPN television.

It's just the pecking order of the sports media establishment.  The more established you are, the more careful you will be. There is more to lose and the name of the game is to stay on top.  Don't make any waves, and your should stay in your slot for quite some time.   If you are near the bottom trying to make a name for yourself, you're more likely to take a risk so you can get credit later for being the guy that broke the story.
