Critiquing "thosewhostay7" as a Source.

Submitted by State Street on

Brian has vouched for this guy, twice, on the front page.  However, if you go back far enough in his twitter feed, it appears he's a weird highschool kid who loves tweeting at recruits.

I don't know what Brian has on the guy, but an explanation would be nice, especially considering the gravity of the stuff he's posting.  You don't just go from doing the above to eloquently narrating a backroom, high stakes contract negotiation overnight from a "source" that happens to be an NFL agent.

what makes Brian credible, maybe the most credible, is his admission on the shakiness and second/third hand nature of his information. Brain parses reality from what he knows to be a game of telephone... most of these message board and twitter insiders just repeat things they hear without consideration

Well, here's an idea. Supposedly this agent is flying in today? You all think this agent would take a private jet or commerical? If private, perhaps we could find some good evidence on FlightAware?

It's a website that allows you to track planes, both commerical and supposedly private (since they also have to issue flight plans). You can either do it by tail number or by location such as all outgoing flights from point A to inbound flights to point B.

Of course there are major variables at play. Does the agent fly commerical or private? (Commerical is a huge shot in the dark---there is no way to check who is who on flights) If he does fly private jet....is it flying out of SF or another California location? Or a non Cali location? Is the plane ariving at A2 muni or WIllow Run or some odd ball landing strip? 

I just checked SF to AA muni and there is nothing. So either the guy is taking a commercial flight from somewhere to DET, flying a private from another location to an outside location of A2, or this guy is full of crap about the agent flying there today.
