Reiss says ...no, Givens not signed

[SaCaCh]

Informed of a story in the Houston Chronicle that indicated receiver David Givens had agreed to re-sign with the Patriots, agent Brad Blank said the report was erroneous and that Givens was still flying to Houston on Sunday morning.

Doesn't matter just need to get the word out, as everyone was excited for a few hours. I do wonder how this stuff gets out sometimes.

David is having a very strange first 48 hours of FA. First the Clevelend miscue on their own website and now the team he's on his way to visit reporting he had cancelled to re-sign here. You would have to wonder if they had some parameters worked out based of what he was hearing from Miami and Houston, and what Jurivicius got, and then got a call from the whack job in DC and are using the trip already scheduled to TX to stall a bit.

It might speak to the quality of his representation.

This is so bizarre and frustrating.

I'm sick of this sh!t. I'm closing my laptop and I'm not looking at any more football news today.

Exactly!!! Who represents him.......Jon Lovitz? Yeah that's the ticket.

All this tells me don`t believe everything you read

I would suggest that, based on the team's track record, fans of the Pats probably shouldn't be refreshing their favorite web sites every 15 seconds during the first few days of free agency.

Again, Chatty Brad Blank, who seems more in his element representing ********ed media celebrities, might have something to do with the ridiculous nature of David's free agency weekend.

Everyone seems to wants to be first reporting these FA moves. Therefore, the rush to "report" creates misinformation.


But it is noteworthly that in the big first day rush for signings, none of the Patriot FA's went anywhere except on planes.

What's next, DG was the gunman on the grassy knoll?? DG is Spartacus?? DG is chunking football to start a boy band??

Maybe the misinformation creates the rush to report.

And where is the most likely place for this misinformation to emanate from?

I mean, it cannot be more obvious to me that Blank is behind all of this.

If I'm Belioli I say to Givens : "Come back when you have a new agent. We're not dealing with this clown".
