The links aren't working. This is funny as , what is the rumor.
As a Broncos fan, I was getting upset with all the rumors swirling around this weekend about Jay Cutler getting traded. This got me to talking with another fan about how easy it is to start a rumor that gets picked up by national outlets.
So what he decided to do was make up a rumor and "Harkov" posted it on the front page of broncosfreaks.com.
This is what happened

PFT.com took it from our front page and decided to run with at as an actual rumor.
Since they first posted it, Si.com, yahoo.com, peter king, colin cowherd, and the cleveland plains dealer have all reported it as a rumor and close to happening.

The funniest part of all of this is whenever someone lists the unnamed source they are talking about me.

Nice going.
Pro Football Talk is a joke.
try them now. i did them again.
Don't know why the broncosfreaks.com link isn't working, but to make a long story short. He posted on the front page a rumor that Jay Cutler was close to being traded for Brady Quinn and Shaun Rogers.
What we hoped would happen is that a few more websites would like the rumor, and that we'd be able to laugh at the idiots that used our baseless rumor as news.
We got way more than we had ever hoped. Peter King talked about it, Colin Cowherd talked about it on his show, SI.com had it in the truth/rumos page, yahoo sports ran a story, cleveland plains dealer ran a report, etc.
It's funny as .

One too many http:// in the links.
But that is classic. Are you also Chris Duel's "source" that said Rasheed to the Spurs was a done deal?
.
thanks, fixed it. No, but I'm sure that rumor started the same way mine did.
This is the coolest ever.
lol well played
it really just shows how stupid the ing rumors on sites like pft.com or even hoopshype.com are. Made up by some idiot (like me) at a computer wanting to create waves. Stupid people like Peter King and Colin Cowherd get paid huge salaries and they don't even check were a freaking rumor originated from before bringing it to a national audience. Pretty pathetic.
and you call yourself the truth.
That is freaking awesome.
this town is going nuts that they might trade Golden Boy. Like every sports radio show is about it
it's #2 on PTI hahahaha
Well played
this is great- you should head the talk radio here
I just googled "Brady, Cutler, Rogers"....................There are 1000's of links.
the one this this thread is missing is a picture of Brady Quinn with his shirt off
man, this is awesome. I wish i could hear the Cleveland radio stations. The broncos ones for that matter. We've admitted it was fake on the website, but everyone keeps posting it as a credible rumor.
I've never been a confidential source before.
Of course when Cutler hears of this rumor, if he hasn't already, it will further fuel his fire, and make him even that more unhappy with the new management!
They are "rumored" to be meeting tomorrow. Hope all goes well, because at the end of the day, trading Cutler would be very very stupid.
Matthew - this is absolute greatness. Props for some awesome punking.
Well, the guy who owns the Broncosfreaks.com site is the one who posted the rumor, I just came up with the rumor.
