Unsubstantiated Rumor

[Vintage]

Dunno. I am still worried about the "key loss" of Torrin Tucker to this team.

We might not be able to handle their DE's without him........

There is no link for this story.

I had dinner with a friend tonight, who is an avid Eagles fan. I'm always sending him internet news about the Eagles, and tonight, he claimed he had a story for me. He claims that Miami is sniffing around Philadelphia about the availability of McNabb. He wouldn't cite his source, but he isn't one to make this stuff up, as he has a whole wardrobe of McNabb shirts.

Anyway, has anyone heard this "rumor"?

We were speculating that maybe Miami would offer up Ricky Williams to Philadelphia for McNabb, since Miami would control his rights if he returns.

Philly ought to just give Miami Mcnabb, because Miami already gave up a 2nd to Philly for J Feely. They owe them!:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

I hate these kind of posts purely for the two statements in bold.

Here's why your "fan" friend wouldn't "cite his source". It's because his "source" was the "avid FAN" on the barstool next to him the night before.

I think he was trying to point out that a rumor already is unsubstantiated...
