Kamara is now holding out

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly misinformation spreads across the internet. So much of it is based upon blogs containing "what if" scenarios due to the lack of real news. They are immediately interpreted by a lazy portion of readers as based in fact who immediately share with like thinking friends or, even worse, embellish it more with their own interpretation. Remember the game in class where one person whispered a designated message in the second person's ear and it is passed throughout the room the same way? Remember that result?

That’s what this forum is, a place to discuss football topics related to the New Orleans Saints. It’s not some peer reviewed digital journal on ProQuest, Ebsco, MedLine or LexisNexis. It’s just fans chatting, nothing more, nothing less. And icymi, this every posting here is that “game in class” you referred to. Even the link-backs are nothing more than op-Ed fodder. These postings, mine and yours aren’t capstone projects.

Great Goobly Moobly.

No doubt! My observation was anecdotal. The internet allows many times more ears to be whispered into, more quickly. The issue is that not every individual realizes this phenomenon and some take the rendition they see to their graves as fact. The affect of that misinformation is wide ranging. Most often is has little to no significant affect, I would imagine. Others turn into "Bountygates".
