Chat Sports is NOT A SOURCE - Full Stop

Submitted by mGrowOld on

Brother MGobloggers.....

Over the last 24 hours there have been multiple threads and posts referencing a rumor posted by Ace Williams (not our Ace Williams) at a site called Chat Sports.  THIS IS NOT A SOURCE!  This is a high school teenager, probably in his mom's basement, posting shit because he has a website and time on his hands to fill.   He has no connection to anything related to Michigan sports and his "sources" are generally just the regurgitation of stuff he's seen US post here.

Please, for the love of God, stop creating threads linking to his site.  You are perpetuating the absolute worst type of unsubstantiated nonsensical bullshit rumors and you're giving page hits and source credit to the rantings of a child.

That is all.

Ohio is reporting (radio) that (S.F.) radio is already reporting Jim Harbaugh accepted Michigan Job. Read this on Samwebb77 twitter.

Sounds Good To Me, so I am putting it out there.

Tis the season to Believe!

Sad that a douchebag site like this even gets mentioned on TV. Even more sad is the news station for not doing their homework little more. Think of all the people who see that story now telling others, etc.

What's funny (and very sad) is that these national guys could have been pinging guys like Brian, or Webb, or any of a number of other Michigan folks. But they essentially laugh at the idea of JH to Michigan, ignore the people who actually have some genuine connections in the program, and then report something from goddamn chatsports? That's pretty much the last nail in the coffin for national sports media and any integrity or ethics in journalism.

but is Ace any worse than the regular "sources" people post about?

Jeff Moss and Gregg Henson, who both seemingly make up stuff, not to mention Adam Schefter making up the iPad thing and Ian Rappaport doing a 180. Or Cowherd and his "mystery candidate".

All of these "reporters" are completely making up info for page hits, which is what Ace Williams is doing, so what's the difference?
