BillyWhiteShows Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I’ve been surprised to see the tremendous amount of fake information about the Bills and Free Agency over the past few days. The first one is a Bills Fans Page of Facebook that has about 30,000 members. They are constantly promoting a low rent fan blog called 716SportsPost.com. They don’t report anything of note themselves and instead paraphrase what other reporters aboard. I’m also going to lump a blogger named Kevin Massare here too. He throws out all kind of “insider” information and it seems like a lot of it never comes to fruition. Here is one example: On Twitter, there is a group of trolls called GGSN posing as a news outlet. It’s a group of trolls (or 1 trolls with multiple accounts) trying to be funny. They’ll post ridiculous information about the Bills and you wouldn’t believe how many legit buy into them. It’s pretty obvious it’s a troll account but they’ll often throw out rumors and get some traction Any other sites out there? 1

Just look how 1 fake Twitter account with a name that sounds like a media outlet fabricated a rumor about Clowney. So many fans bought it and some are discussing it now in the forum

sven233 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Kevin Massare has never gotten anything right. Just a terrible "source" and just makes stuff up all the time. 1
BillsFan17 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Its peoples need for attention. Social media allows every and anyone a voice. In turn you created an avenue for attention seekers to spew their bull####. 1

gobills1212 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 You can post these man! No need to back door it like ur ashamed!
Peace Frog Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 The latest rumor is that Josh Allen is the favorite heading into training camp to be the starter at QB on opening weekend. I wouldn't put much stock in that since it is just a rumor but who knows.

Pretty much this. I have been tweeting at him for two days to actually give some concrete info about his trade rumor and crickets. Guys like that try to become "known" by tweeting vague predictions and jumping up and down if something tangentially related to their post happens. If nothing happens they always blame sources or say something fell apart.

NoSaint Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 The flip side is.... solid stuff can fall apart. Sometimes there’s a trade very close to done and the rug gets pulled out from under it. Or the jets try to sign a free agent.
