The thing that annoys me is when some sportswriter speculates, but presents it as fact - i.e. "Darren McFadden IS at the top of the Rams' draft board." (Like Adam Schefter can call up Bill Devaney and say, "Hey, Bill, could you fax me a copy of your draft board" and Bill will say "sure, what's your number.")

What is even worse is when some fan quotes the sportswriter as if he is a source of information, as opposed to a source of speculation.
It's always been this way. I don't find it annoying because it's obvious that none of these guys know what any team is really thinking. It's just part of the pre-draft experience.....I mean circus. You need to relax and enjoy it and not take it too seriously.
