NaptownFunk says
It is known throughout the agent community that Rosenhaus was an investor in PFT and has sent Florio numerous scoops over the years…conflict of interest???

If this is true, then Florio IS part of the story. Maybe Yahoo will write that story.

Rosenhaus is a douche bag and PFT is a shit operation. Someone write the story.

It didn’t even warrant a mention in Pro Football Talk’s rumor mill, which is ground zero on the web for anyone who follows the NFL.

This is a sad statement. That site is utter trash, and Florio a complete hack. I resent that man.

People are really going to click less than on a story that says “Beanie Wells to make preseason debut this week”

Really? Link?

Sums it up for me.

Shit, ESPN ran the “Loomis has wiretapped the Superdome” story and they only had 1 source for that. Meanwhile, Cole and Getlin are getting multiple sources/physical evidence and no one can be bothered.

NFL GM wiretapping opponents is much more interesting than agent everyone knows is shady getting sweet loan rates, regardless of sourcing.

was in the roundup. Lisk had started a post, but then lots of news happened yesterday and he didn’t get to it. Feel free to ask him.

This is true. I was going to write a post about it. Then other NFL News started rolling in and by the time I got back to look at it, it was 6 pm on the east, and figured it wouldn’t be worth a write up at that point, so I sent it to Jason to include in Roundup.

That said, I think Florio is full of crap.

That said, now turning specifically to this story, I think he’s full of crap too. People are really going to click less than on a story that says “Beanie Wells to make preseason debut this week”, I doubt it. He’s protecting a source.

“A mainstream NFL audience doesn’t care about pissing matches between agents over money,” he said. “If there’s a physical altercation between agents or if an agent is arrested or if an agent runs down the street drunk or naked or both, then it registers on the radar screen. The overriding goal is to write what I think people want to read, not what I think a handful of agents or anyone else wants me to write.”

So, when Mike was hammering out post after post about all the legal minutia surrounding the Vikings stadium issue earlier this year, was he under the impression that people were interested in reading it?

Think that’s backwards?

I’m going to drop one more plug for the really interesting PR Guy Q&A on Deadspin. It’s fascinating, if not distressing, to hear what he say about the life of athletes.

Fine. Lisk, were you paid to bury the story by either Rosenhaus, SunTrust Bank, Florio, the PSU BoT, or 2nd Mile?

You forgot to add David Stern, Roman Abramovich, Roger Goodell, the Daleks, the Legion of Doom and Old Man Wickles to your list of potential shadow masters.
