When newspaper football writers feel the need to "make stuff up" in order to fill in articles. At least the first guy is up front about the hypotehtical nature of his statement....
It will be interesting to see whether the Vikings, seeking reasons for season-ticket holders to renew, try to trade their No. 7 overall pick in April's draft, plus a player or two, for Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald Jr. of Minneapolis.-- St. Paul Pioneer Press
"It will be interesting to see if the U.S., seeking reason for voters to ignore other important policy decisions, decides to take over Canada or Mexico in calendar year 2007."
--The Commish
(Look I can write for a newspaper). I mean, he doesn't cite a source for this story or anything, just merely picks a big name, throws some stuff out there and says....it will be interesting to see. Oh well....what is journalistic integrity anyway....at least he posits the statements as a hypothetical as opposed to this unscrupulous fella....
David Carr will be traded, and Jake Plummer will be the Texans quarterback next season. Plummer will compete with Sage Rosenfels and a rookie Gary Kubiak wants to develop.-- Houston Chronicle
David Carr will be traded? Jake Plummer will be the Texans QB next season? There will be a rookier drafted by the Texanx to take part in a competition with Plummer and Rosenfels? This guy is a amazing. How does he know the future? I have got to go to him for a little fortune telling.

I had read the quote about Plummer and Carr. This guy is nuts to say that he knows that it is happening without citing sources. I agree that it 'makes sense' and I could definitely see it happening. But to just say that it is fact is reckless.
I think the first quote is funnier though. Why would Arizona trade Larry Fitzgerald? That makes no sense at all for them. Sure Minnesota might want a hometown guy, but I don't see a way where they could get him.
I am totally disapointed with sports writing as a whole. It seems like few people even bother making an effort anymore. Maybe it's just that there isn't any football news, but the fans want something so bad, that writers are 'forced' to make something up.
