Peter King and Clayton are both tied in wrong predictions.. Schefter was the man on the spot, and that is because of his nfl contacts, now that he will be with Espn, his accuracy will be down alot..

I'm neither deflecting nor backtracking, and you never gave me the name of that sports reporter.

Mike Reiss and Chris Gasper. I don't believe I've seen much if any of their work that has been proven false or proven to be speculation that was baseless like Clayton's work has been.

Happy or would you like to rip that apart as well until I find someone that fits your views on reporter standards?

And answer my question about a reporter who gets his stories more wrong than Clayton if you can. I'd be glad to read that list.

And who have we drafted at OLB over the last two years to be a starting OLB other than Crable?

Check out Reiss on the Cassel situation and get back to me. I don't read enough of Gasper to point anything out off the top of my head. However, Reiss doesn't release anywhere near the volume of 'new' information that Clayton does.

As for reporters who get it wrong, I don't bother making lists of that sort. I'm not the one making the idiotic comments about Clayton, you are, so I don't need to come up with that defense. I don't keep a running tally. It's enough that I point out the ridiculous flaws in your claims.

You're hung up on the "drafted" part of the equation, despite using non-drafted players as the basis for your argument's comparisons.

Volume doesn't equal quality. Reiss got burned by the Cassel situation but his writing and reports have been among the best and most accurate.

Answer the question. You called me on naming someone who gets it right, answer who gets it wrong more than Clayton.

So what? Your claim was not that he's imperfect. Everybody's imperfect. You made a completely idiotic comment. You also relied upon someone's shoddy work while berating Clayton for his, supposedly, shoddy work.

Would at least expect some stories to come true with their lead writer...but too much to expect there.
That comment was just ludicrous.

You should probably learn what "deflecting" means. While you're at it, you could stop tossing out this red herring.
