Deadspin - it's coming!

I think the guy is a self promoting fool. I don't believe for one second that he has any info on UM. How would he possibly have any sources, with him living in NY, that could uncover what people living right here on Oxford's doorstep couldn't uncover? Do you really believe his gambling syndicate to be that large? Or is it as he has suggested, "sources" have sent him the info? Because if that is the case, why wouldn't these sources just send the info to ESPN, the Clarion Ledger, Commercial Appeal or any number of reputable outlets?
You know what I think happened? I think someone emailed, or tweeted him the link on FWTCTs with the letter and BS story about Deadspin. I then believe he simply took that and tweeted about getting paid by Deadspin for his info. This of course brought him the attention that he seeks, which is about all there is going to be come out of this. If I'm wrong, i'll be the first to admit it, but I don't expect to have to admit that anytime soon regarding this.
Here are a few stories about Bob. Yeah, they are blogs, but there aren't many well established sites covering the guy.

Deadspin does occasionally have some good investigative college football pieces-- taking advantage of the Freedom of Information Act. The stuff they had concerning Southern Miss football after the 2012 season comes to mind.
I'm just playing devils advocate here pat since everyone is bashing and noone is defending. I don't care either way. The guy is brash but he's not an idiot. And to another poster, inside gambling info has no boundaries in terms of having information. People hate on him because he's so arrogant and loves to hype himself up and tear into other people consistently. We don't know if it was slander he was spewing or not. His rep on this Ole Miss issue so far though is definitely poor, but I do believe in my statement that he hyped it up for profit. I doubt Deadspin would have bought it (again I know this is still speculative) if it didn't have some legitimacy
I believe I speak for the entire MSU, and OM for that matter, fanbase when I say "until this dude comes up with something other than tweets - he's full of ****". If a Deadspin article hits next week, I'll be thrilled, but history is certainly not on his side.
I agree with most of the posters in this thread. It's totally ********!
Someone tries to pull this stuff on the Bears almost every year. "The NCAA Letter of inquiry is on their desk. I know for a fact", etc, etc. Happens every year, yet we are the one on probation.

But no one can discount the amount of smoke thats come from Oxford
in the past year or so. I don't know if Bob is full of **** or not....but he was very adamant about having the dirt on Tunsil.
couple that with the article about Chris Jones being interviewed, the article from Memphis about CJ Johnson, Freeze asking folks to turn in any rumors about shady recruiting to which OM refused to release about a third of them to Veazy (think thats who it was).
I'm not gonna sit here and bet that something major is about to happen to OM, but damn, nobody can deny thats a awful lot of smoke.

You do realize that you aren't fooling anyone don't you? It's extremely transparent.
