I have no problem with speculations on the PFT site. It is part of what he does. This story is no different than any other.
My only problem with PFT is that Florio lets his biases determine what rumors he places on the site. For example, he posted virtually every rumor that went against Michael Vick and the Pats during spygate no matter how damning even if not confirmed. But he held back the name of who leaked the spygate tape to Fox and other stories that were damning, but not confirmed.
