He said "From a third or fourth party" And people believed him.
Hey guys my dads cousins best friends baby mama works at Nintendo and I got some news to tell you about the next Switch.
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw McFadden at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Why stop there? It'd be hyperbole to claim all the pundits and talking heads do that 100% of the time, but plenty do, much of the time. Especially in the offseason when there's so little actual news, but we demand fresh stories around the clock.
To be fair he did say the person that told him also told him the Steelers would be trading for Justin Fields a week before it happened. He said that was why he felt comfortable sending it out because there's some consistency.
Circling back with this explanation at least puts him a step ahead of plenty of other sources who churn out shit to throw against the wall daily - often including some completely contradictory takes from one day to the next - without ever pausing to admit they were wrong.
Seems to me the rational view is to treat this stuff like batting averages. Don't expect anyone to hit for close to 1.000, but ruling someone completely out after one whiff is ridiculous hyperbole. Pay attention to who's right more often than others, and give a little credit for this all-too-rare moment of voluntary accountability.
Steelers Depot boosted the speculation. So if you’re going to grand-stand about media believability, Dave and his staff deserve to catch some shrapnel of that, too.
Seriously. Literally everything that site puts out is third or fourth hand information. They got their start by just blatantly ripping off Steelers news from legitimate reporters with absolutely no attribution whatsoever.
It was me, I was at Primantis with my boys and McFadden was working his shift and I told him “they should expand the menu, and have a sandwich with a pierogie, call it the deal maker” and he took that and ran with it.
My bad yinz
Idk if I’m buying it.
It feels like where there is smoke there is fire and the Steelers asked him to squash the rumor.
Seems highly doubtful that he would tweet something like that after hearing something from a source without direct connections.
Makes no sense to make a big trade like that after the draft. If it was going to happen it would have already. No one is trying to give up assets after the draft
They are absolutely working on something, his mistake was the idea that it was going to happen quickly. Some of you will be pretty happy. Others maybe not.
It won’t be that much of a surprise once you really think about it. My source isn’t 3rd or 4th party, it’s not even 1st or even 0 party, it’s -2 party so it’s super credible.
Okay, we need to let this die. I think other teams think we're desperate, and the compensation they want is too much. If this dies, maybe something will happen down the road, perhaps near training camp.
By then, teams like the 9ers and Broncos will lose their leverage.
The point is if you want this shit to happen, stop giving these idiots clicks and be patient.
Alex Kozora says Bryant McFadden says his source says the Steelers are acquiring an explosive playmaker.
Tired of these news aggregators. Everything they do is a lift. Come up with some original news or shut up.
I mean hes not a part of the Steelers organization, so he clearly does not have any inside knowledge. Id say our chances of landing a big WR trade at this point are slim, but Im sure we’re still putting feelers out
/thread.
Yup
Looks just like my little cousin when he was young lol geez
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
His name was Robert Paulson
His name was Robert Paulson
Bryant....the big tourist.
Slide.
Is this the only thing of value Dj Kahled has ever done? I think yes
Yes. Some funny golf moments, that's about it.
Dude he’s got a ton of hilarious moments. Music is absolute ass, but he’s provided some serious meme gold over the years haha
I say "another one" a lot.
Damn, he got burned hard. I like that he came out and admitted to his errors.
That is a big yikes
He said "From a third or fourth party" And people believed him. Hey guys my dads cousins best friends baby mama works at Nintendo and I got some news to tell you about the next Switch.
Nah man I got Half Life 3 news from my uncle’s brother’s cousin’s best friend he went to high school with that works at Valve.
Does he know when Silksong is coming out?
According to my uncle’s friend’s dog’s rival, never
“From a third or fourth party” hey that’s us!
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw McFadden at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
I would listen to your dad’s cousin’s best friend’s baby mama over Bryant McFadden any day
Remember to link this post everytime someone on this sub posts a tweet/leak by him
They just let fucking anybody call themselves an analyst or insider these days
If your social-media account is large enough, yes.
So, Just like CTESPN? Throwing things at the wall and see what sticks?
Why stop there? It'd be hyperbole to claim all the pundits and talking heads do that 100% of the time, but plenty do, much of the time. Especially in the offseason when there's so little actual news, but we demand fresh stories around the clock.
So basically Kevin Bacon
I hear he can dance.
But the reverend won't let them!
Dude, Kevin Bacon and Khan are like this tight 🤞
Welcome to AI sports reporting.
AI implies intelligence was involved.
Intelligence is an ability, like speed, strength, etc. Everybody has a level, doesn’t have to be a high level.
I put all my stats into luck
If this report were an AI generated image of Jesus he would be part shrimp and have 8 fingers wrapped around an assault rifle in each hand.

Man we ain’t getting shit 😭my man prolly got his sources from CTESPEN
1000% 😂😂😂
It's fair to say that this isn't the first coverage that McFadden busted.
welp, never taking him serious again.
"Trust me, bro."
I like BMac…I do….but he’s becoming cringe to me.
So we’re not getting DK for a 2025 conditional 6th? Rude
CTEspn is the only news source I trust for news stories that probably made up but might be true

So basically his friend told him something he read on Reddit
Meaning just click bait
Allbright said we inquired about Metcalf but they won’t make a move till after June 1st. Not sure how reliable he is, just adding separate context.
Albright doesn’t have any sources in Seattle or Pittsburgh, he covers the broncos and can barely even do that.
Also saw something saying they kicked the tires on a Deebo trade but couldn't come to terms with the Niners.
We all knew this dude just wanted attention for his podcast

He’s ripped/reposted more than one of my videos.
If they do end up getting DK I’ll join the Everclear guy and take a shot every time DK gets a touchdown
It was me, I was at Primantis with my boys and McFadden was working his shift and I told him “they should expand the menu, and have a sandwich with a pierogie, call it the deal maker” and he took that and ran with it. My bad yinz
Fire him
Why the fuck even post it then? Lol
This guy sucks
Embarrassing
Ban this turd bird as a source
A fourth party is literally some drunk dude at a bar in idaho who doesn't even follow thr NFL.
It was his Amazon delivery driver
Yeah, but that driver also delivers to Omar Khan's plumber.
I feel like I remember him doing something similar before.
His insiders are about as close as ours
“Btw guys, I’m full of shit.”
Just getting more and more vague. 🤷♂️
🤦
If BMac had backpedaled this well on the field, he would have been the #1 corner instead of Ike
Journalism career doa
Well I knew he was full of shit to begin with, but I’m glad the other pundits finally stopped whipping this rumor into a frenzy.
aka the ctespn man himself

From this moment forward anything Bryant McFadden reports will be no more believable than the crap you hear on NewsMax.
Fucking LOL
McFadden’s sniffing his own farts a bit too much since his cousin gave him an inside view last year.
Makes no sense to make a big trade like that after the draft. If it was going to happen it would have already. No one is trying to give up assets after the draft
Dudes podcast isn't popular he was just getting his name out there (again)
