Okay, firstly, I thought it was about Bayless when I first saw the post. I didn't realize until later.
Second, my point still stands. HCP has done this before. It isn't the first time he has made a thread claiming to be breaking a story. He works for the organization and I think it reflects poorly. I don't think it's funny. The only reason why people took me seriously when I posted the thing about Oden was because I had a solid reputation on the forums. I never fucked with people.
I worked in sports journalism for ten years dude, so if you want to lecture me on ethics, go right ahead.
