There was this guy on the Ravens forum that said back in like April that the Ravens were looking to cut Earl Thomas. The fans there waited a decent length of time but eventually turned on the guy and drove him away from the forum. This wasn't he wasn't even like a newbie or lurker. He was a regular poster who didn't want to have to deal with getting grief for his thread. Turns out the Ravens did end up releasing Earl a few months later, and afterwards a lot of stuff came out about him pissing the team off for more than a year. The folks there bumped the thread and apologized on there, but I don't know if that poster ever came back.
So yeah. Things happen or they don't. So long as the person isn't lying their ass off like TSpence did about the Gasol thing, it's fine. Mo broke the thing about Tim being a coach, and that was after people were on him about saying LMA was on the block (because nothing happened).
