It is relatively easy to tell, when you post his twitter "leaks"/ news he is right on in explaining as much as he can from behind the scenes or providing a bit more information. The writing style, snark, music choices that I don't usually agree with, etc. clearly indicate it is indeed him. I get one post here and there, but when you have been here for a few years and see his take on topics OTW and stuff in TSW, it is apparent Okay- I can accept that. I have seen just enough to wonder if it is, or if it’s one of those “my uncles cousins brothers” type things. 1

So we have tangible reason to believe it is? Wawrow is Wawrow. To clarify for a couple of other posters Wawrow did not give his opinion regarding whether or not a deal was likely. He stated that someone high up in the organization shook their head no when asked about it. That's Wawrows way of not being tied down.

Mr. WEO Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 So...Clowney is still trending for some reason?

I remember he said slow the roll on the Rapsheet report, but didn’t he also indicate that they weren’t even interested? I don’t know his level of reliability in such matters. 1
That's No Moon Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Talking about these leaks and such. The local Indianapolis people weren't the one to break Andrew Luck's retirement. That was Adam Schefter who certainly didn't get it from the team directly either because the team was setting up a PC for 3pm today to tell everyone. They didn't want it broken during the middle of a home preseason game with fans finding out on their phones. Point being, there are lots of places to get information and lots of reasons to want to put stuff out at different times. Agents put stuff out, players put stuff out, people attached to the people put stuff out. That Wawrow doesn't have it doesn't mean it's not happening. It doesn't mean it is either. It just means that nobody that he has access to or a relationship with has said anything to him. 1
twist_to_open Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 I'm just curious as to why Profootball Talk or any other site I looked at aren't running with this rumor. 1

Now other areas of the team are in need. ...I get what you're saying bud......but either Watt and Clowney on defense, isn't that side of he ball a better well known versus the untested, long term nature of the offense with Watson at the helm?...a solid Watt/Clowney infused defense may win you some games in spite of the youngster Watson's hiccups...just sayin'....

Logic Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 4 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Yea I tend to agree. JW also said they laughed at him when he inquired a couple weeks ago, yet there are still reports of the Bills working on a trade. There are, however, no CREDIBLE reports of the Bills working on a trade. We've heard it from three different no-name Twitter posters trying to make a name for themselves by discussing vague conjecture. Until someone halfway worth a darn reports anything about the Bills being interested, I won't believe they are. The only person who DOES have credibility that has weighed in on this idea is JW, and he specifically stated twice now that he was told there's nothing to it. Believe what you want, but I'm filing this one under "wishful thinking" by Bills fans.

When the Talley fund was happening it was John that I chose to break the news that Darryl would accept the donations. We communicated many times through pm here. I can affirm, unequivocally, that he is the real John Wawrow. 1 1

I agree with you, but perhaps the Texans just want to move on. Remember that Gaine wanted to keep Clowney and Watt together. The brass would not allow Gaine to pay Clowney and extend him.
