It Turns Out Ian Rapoport Sucks At His Job

Trey Daubert / NFL / March 8, 2019

NFL Reporters are really starting to piss me off. Twitter culture has made it more important to be first, than to be right. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Adam Schefter of ESPN are the face of NFL reporters and they both suck ass. Schefter had his moments this year. Condoleeza Rice to the Browns? WTF was that? I’m still waiting for that “Bigger Name” in the Bob Kraft story. Now it’s Rap Sheet’s turn to hear it because he’s a worthless human too.

Rapoport reported that the Bills would become the eventual landing spot for Antonio Brown. Then, he fought like hell hoping that he wasn’t wrong.

Sources: The #Steelers are closing in on a deal to send star WR Antonio Brown to the Buffalo #Bills. There it is.

Update from the Antonio Brown saga: The #Bills and #Steelers have been in aggressive talks about a trade and are close on compensation, sources say. It is not final. The main question is, one that has kept the trade from crossing the final hurdle, Does Antonio Brown show up?

Update from the #Bills on the Antonio Brown: After intense talks that went into last night, and almost getting there on trade compensation, Buffalo says they are out. The #Steelers now must find another suitor.

Another source on a potential Antonio Brown-to-Buffalo trade said it will not happen. “I don't think the Bills trade was ever close to happening,” said one source involved in those talks. Steelers snd Bills briefly talked but “this is an old story. It was dead on Wednesday.”

Rapoport has officially moved into the category of idiot. F*ck this guy. Oh, Trey, you’re just being harsh. It’s one mistake. Oh, NO, my friends. This F*cker is ALWAYS wrong. It’s not the first, or last time he reported inaccurate information.

It’s not uncommon that teams requested #Louisville QB Lamar Jackson to do receiver drills. For instance: RBs Ronald Jones and Sony Michel was asked to do WR drills. DE’s Bradley Chubb and Marcus Davenport were asked to do LB drills.

I wouldn’t call a quarterback doing wide receiver drills “Common” would you?

Rand Getlin is criticizing Ian Rapoport for supposedly being wrong about something. I only know that because someone I follow retweeted Rand's tweet. I can't see Rand's tweets directly because Rand blocked me when I pointed out something he was wrong about. pic.twitter.com/c0kOBc1n0C

This is a good one. Rand Getlin called out Rap Sheet after he reported that Mike Mularkey was staying with the Titans. He was fired shortly after. It turned out that Getlin was also wrong about things too.

This report is from Ian Rapoport. In case you forgot he said Mike Mularkey had a contract extension in place only to be fired within 48 hours

We also have this one. Rap Sheet claimed that the Chiefs set up a GM interview with Louis Riddick. Of course, Riddick claimed that was not the case. I would tend to believe Riddick considering the report was about him.

The #Chiefs have reached out to ESPN analyst Louis Riddick to set up an interview for next week for their now-vacant GM job, sources say.

The Kansas City Chiefs have not contacted me and there is no interview set up for this week. Source? Me.

I had to screenshot this next one. I knew it was false at the time. Rapoport claimed Kyler Murray was going to play baseball. His source was Scott Boras hahahhahahahaha. Only known as the biggest lying sack of shit in baseball. This tweet was deleted.

Remember this one too? Josh Gordon was going to get punished by the Patriots in a game against the Bills because he was late? Yeah, never happened. Gordon played virtually every snap.

Sources: The #Patriots are disciplining WR Josh Gordon during tonight’s game vs. the #Bills because of tardiness. He’s expected to be kept off the field for several series — about a quarter — as they continue to work with & manage him. It’ll be regular playing time after that.

Long story short, (Trust me I could keep going, there’s even a tweet where he sounds kinda racist about Eric Reid signing with the Panthers with a good ole “there you go” at the end of it) Rapoport is a lying worthless sack of shit. How many times does this guy have to be wrong before NFL Network fires his pathetic ass. We live in a world where we can’t even have one reliable reporter.
