Blowing Up Rumors

On Monday, a rumor started. According to a message board, Kentucky and Billy Donovan secretly agreed on a 7-year, $28 million contract. Instantly, bloggers exploded. Sans fact or verification, they heralded Kentucky’s new coach. The rumor\story proved false.

This is the fame era. Everyone believes they are a qualified journalist. Everyone is craving the exclusive. Everyone is not a journalist. Monday exemplified bloggers Pajamahadeen mentality. Everyone stop. Stop typing, stop blogging, stop circulating innuendo, and stop seeking the exclusive. Stop.

When Kentucky officially announces a coach, resume.
