The CheckerBoard

Cliff notes?

Dude is speaking the truth. Said he would say it to Hart's face too.

Now that's how you double down.

Hargis just cited Wes Rucker as a reference to his credibility.

And Mike Strange among others.

He just said that he "assumes that people are going on a hunch" because of the lack of available information.

He said that Rucker, Strange and others in the K-town media that he's worked with would vouch that he wouldn't risk his credibility by printing hear-say or conjecture. That is a paraphrasing of what he said.

He said to ask Wes Rucker if he is a credible reporter and that Wes knows he would not print a story without having a solid source backing it up. He mentioned a few other reporters as well that would back up his credibility.

He challenged "anyone to find anything he's written in 23 years that wasn't factual and didn't have rock solid sources".

He is not fabricating this story.

Not saying he is. Totally believe someone(s) told him what he's reporting, but I question every source for every reporter including W/R/K if that person isn't in the "room" with either Hart or Gruden, on this one. I think most of the guys reporting generally have reliable sources and confirm the information with reliable sources. Something is wrong with this coaching search. There's enough conflicting information to conclude that some or none of these sources are close enough to know what's going on. Of course they all could be right and the opinions and positions of Hart and Gruden are changing on average every few hours.

Yes but listen to the man, this is a major and reliable source in his mind.
