This makes no sense to me. You don't reveal the name if it's a source, but you do - without waiting - if you're reporting on what a third party is saying, because then you're not burning anyone. Right?

Correct. You don't reveal sources. But at the same time, journalistic integrity means checking sources and facts to ensure they're accurate, assuring there is a good solid basis for the story. Moss lacks journalistic integrity. He is a hack. Don't put weight in his "stories."

don't let the 49ers fire you. Quit on them and take the Michigan job! We want you here and SFO doesn't. So come back to where you are appreciated! I'll be on pins and needles all day tomorrow. By Tuesday night it will be party time for Michigan!!!!

have their Twitter posts & replies in any way proven that "the source" for Moss and Henson are the same? They read as if so but I could be wrong. Basically, if both are hacks and Moss "outs HIS source" for misleading info is this essentially the same source Henson was swearing by for months? Does one outing render both as not only hacks but duped idiots that likely pounded the table with knowingly bad and/or not vetted info (if they didn't just make it up)? I feel like at least Moss is going to back out of the "its happening I have my sources" race when he likely had a source no better than myself. If the source was the same for both you have to assume Henson does as well, both passing the blame buck in their likely attempt to gain cred as insiders. I ask because if the source isn't the same for both I'll go back to being indifferent toward Henson. If the same and bunk, I'm going to pile on them as not only hacks but assclown adults that should know better both personally & professionally. FINALLY, as for WHY they'd out their source, I read tons of people on Twitter telling both to put their sources "on blast" if wrong. Now would be the time to save face, fans, etc for both. If they knew they had B.S. but threw it out with such fervor they have to save face very soon.....like 9am soon. Thanks.

From the convoluted wording of his post, it seems that Brandstatter isn't his direct source, and the reliability of his report is questionable to say the least.  According to Moss, his "sources have informed [him] that . . . Brandstatter has been telling his media friends that he expects . . . ."  

Suffice it to say that this guy probably doesn't watch The Newsroom.

Odd why anyone would pay attention to any  of these digital windbags after we've been bitten in the ass so many times in the past, like Herbstreit a few years ago.  Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm in the "I'll see it when I believe it" category..
