McGinn was making shit up. It makes him look like he's actually getting some information on the Ted Thompson situation in Green Bay when in reality he's probably got nothing yet. It happens all the time with local beat writers. The problem is these days the NFL has about 20 national reporters with twitter accounts that connect themselves to the beat writers and local reporters for these teams. It starts out as a shitty thing to drum up talk among Packer fans in Milwaukee while their front office staff is receiving GM offers from other teams, and then we end up with Rappoport and PFT and all these other people acting like they've got a "source" on this utterly reeruned Dorsey rumor.

I agree, but to be fair, McGinn's piece was basically his opinion when I read it. I think these reporters took it much farther than that used hyperbole to get clicks.
