No worries, but he did an interview and I forget who with, but he spoke about the private workout with Goff in the rain and ball never hit the ground. Now Silver is a Cal-Berkeley alum and might have been there, but he did talk about the fact that it rained actually made a better case for Goff because not one ball hit the ground and many questioned if Goff could throw if the ball was wet.
Oh, I know all of that. I'm just sayin he wasn't figuring anything out. He was told, point blank, who it would be. Now, if he was there at Berkeley for the workout or was told this story...doesn't really matter. Silver simply got it from the horse's mouth.
That's it. No tape, no analysis, no 37 interviews with people around the league... nope. He knows Fisher, he asked Fisher or Fisher decided to tell him.
Pretty simple, really. Further, Fisher put on record to Silver that he was openly disseminating false information to other reporters.
So, if you're other reporters with "sources" with the Rams after reading that... you had to be feeling pretty crappy. "hey... *calls source* hey source, we're still good, right? I know Silver' saying Goff, but it's really Wentz, right?" Source: "Sure, c'mon, it's silly season, can't trust what you read...you can trust me..."
And, funnily enough they did it with some of the biggest names on the LA Sports scene... Fred Roggin...Sam Farmer...
/shrug. Fisher's gonna be Fisher.
If this works, he's a baller and no one's gonna care that he burned the local media over this for his friend in the National Sports Media complex who won't give two rat farts about the Rams on a daily or weekly or even monthly basis.
If it doesn't work, as I said in another post, he's just been makin' pitchforks. And frankly, unless you work with hay, makin' pitchforks is a really dumb thing to do.
