Oh. So I’m not just making stuff up? Lol

Dilla isn’t perfect but he certainly does hear a lot about what happens around the league. And you’re totally right, he jumped the gun on Byron and now he’s more shy to bring up certain things.

I've been following dude for years and he does see a lot of tweets first and he follows different beat writers for a lot of different teams.   He also posts some good [BLEEP] but he will see a tweet and try to run with it to be the first one whether it's real or someone just made it up.  He definitely used to know someone in the building but it's been clear as day that he doesn't anymore.  Everything yall have said he has brought up, none of it has happened.  I'm trying to think of the last time he broke news first on a Jag signing like he used to?    I think it was Eifert.
