Here is an excellent example of why some people in the mass media seem to have no respect for the facts.

This gets to the crux of the issue of misinformation. Evidently Dungy said this on national TV last night and Ben Volin is repeating it in his column this morning:

Darrelle Revis finally shines for Patriots - The Boston Globe

“Lovie Smith inherited Revis in Tampa and he told me, ‘I traded him because I’d be wasting him. With our system, we play zone coverage so much,’ ” Dungy chimed in. “You’re not using his skills.”​

Anyone see the whopper of misinformation in that?
 
TB released Revis. They didn't trade him.
 
Zero percent of that is true. He was released and the main reason was they could have better players for the same money they were paying Revis.
