Oh No, Now I'm an Insider

I've been as skeptical as I can be about these insider posts, but my mom just texted me that her friend's son is friends with someone in the Haslem family and they told him it's basically a done deal.
Hahaha, I can't make this stuff up. Now my own mother has an inside source.

This is fever pitch. And I don't think any of us will ever forget it.

It's funny that you say that. I never post anything about rumors. I have a friend in Huntsville, AL that knows Condredge Holloway's family. It was told to me that his family have been stating that Gruden has been demanding, but stated that he felt it was for the best interest of the program. I was told that Hart was discussing these request with other members of his staff to ensure that all bases were covered in case a problem somehow arrived with Gruden. I haven't posted this because I know how many people have posted this before. I don't think my friend would lie to me, but who knows what Holloway's family may or may not know. Just thought I would put this out there. FWIW.

Here's how I see this play out. If gruden doesn't come, epic fan meltdown. If gruden comes, epic fan meltdown. If he comes and has losing seasons, epic fan meltdown. Gruden wins often and big, epic fan meltdown. We're doomed no matter how you look at it.

Apparently her friend's son is best friends with a guy who's dad is a President of something or other at Pilot. The son is only 21 but his dad just made him a VP, so if anyone can find out if Pilot has a 21 year old VP somewhere in the organization, I guess that's something.
This is just absurd. It's hard to call BS on your mother, but I have to tell her I'm not buying it yet.

I hope a possum pisses on whoever is trolling us with these "sources." It is not my job to call anyone true or fake, but i hope a possum does my dirty work.

I don't think my mom is "trolling" me on purpose. She may be dead wrong, but I certainly hope a possum never pees on her.
Kind of a strange thing to hope for.

It's a decent start for a first-time effort but you really need to juice it up a bit. Do you think you could Photoshop a picture of your friend hanging out with the Haslams? Maybe he could be on their private jet or something. That would definitely strengthen your story.

That's the funniest thing I've seen on here....or maybe I'm too tired and it just hit my funny bone. But I am really laughing out loud.

Dude, I've been calling out people with all of these "sources" the whole time this has been going on. I don't claim to know anything special here....it's just hilarious to me that my mom all of the sudden has the scoop on Gruden.
The point of this thread was really just to highlight what a complete frenzy this has become.
