Nothing about it yet.....

I'll believe it when the Colts or Manning say something. Until then, still speculation

It's not like this news is really news: PM's return to the Colts has been reported about before / really just think it's a matter of time, whether BBS knows it now or not.

It is important to the NFL world, and a rumor like this would be huge to report.

My point is either PM runs a tight ship or he doesn't. If he runs a tight ship, some small timer isn't going to get all this breaking news leaked. If he somehow got it, the big boys would get it as well, because they have a lot more resources and insiders that they get their info from. Either it got leaked or it didn't, and if it did, why haven't we heard from anyone besides this guy on it? Doesn't make sense.

It doesn't matter how tight of a ship PM runs. It only takes one janitor over hearing something in the hall to pass it along to someone.

Brad Wells said nothing here that hasn't been said in past by someone... He grabs every little bit of info, spins it all together with a bit of speculation and hopes it sticks when thrown against the wall ... Then he can say I told ya so ... :cool:

PM runs a tight ship...Irsay, not as much.

This. I'm not saying it's true, but dismissing it out of hand is just as dumb as assuming it is gospel.

So if that is the case, why have none of the big boys gotten ahold of this rumor and put it out there? That's the part that doesn't make sense. If there is a leak, those guys would have it and run with it as well, if it's true. That's what makes me skeptical.

Because legitimate journalists need two sources to run with a story.

That's not usually the case with the NFL rumor mill. Legit stories are a different thing altogether.

I agree more with veve. The big boys have a reputation and will want multiple sources or at least one source they really trust. Who knows what source wells has. As said above, its a rumor that should be considered but not a taken as a given, that's why they are called rumors.
