I'm so glad I didn't pick him in Fantasy Football.

Seriously, I hope he gets healthy quick.

I don't know. I just heard a blurb of it on the Ticket760. I'm waiting for details.

I guess it would be okay if Jim squirmed a little over this news though.

Hahaha!

I just read that cbssportsline caught wind of this and posted it as news, but it has since been removed.

Wow! That's not a funny joke for 'Skins fans.

But it's actually out of some radio shows as the truth now.

Ha!

I'll be sure to double up on the beer runs.

Looks like the original fake story has been removed. It's pretty funny. I saw it a little after 8:00 this morning and I thought about posting it for a laugh at Jim's expense, but it's really not that funny; HOWEVER, CBS reporting it as news, NOW THAT IS FUNNY.

Hats off to whoever leaked that story. And the media bought it. But Jim...stay on the ledge! :) Go Cowboys!

CBS reporting it as news, NOW THAT IS FUNNY.

And then it was picked up from there onto a radio news wire and started being reported around the country as fact.

hmm...looks like someone is getting fired at cbs sportsline tomorrow....my boss is scrambling right now...he has Portis on his team....and does not know what to do...I told him it was a hoax....does anyone have any proof on the hoax. I should probably try and save my boss from a heart attack.

I don't know...its kinda fun seeing him totally lose focus on his job and fret over fantasy football. :p

Mikey, it's a hoax. There was a fake nfl.com webpage. I guess sportsline picked up from that. Then it went from there.

still pretty funny though.
