I believe in the motto that "everything is fit to print", so if
the National Enquirer comes out with a story that Antoine is a
hermaphrodite and is the mother and father of his own child;
I'm going to post it.  I take the Matt Drudge approach; it's
up to the rest of you judge the story on its own merits.  Sources
and reporters vary in their reliability; generally people like
Jackie MacMullan, Mitch Lawrence, and Steve Bulpett are pretty
trustworthy; others less so.  Depending upon the context of the
situation, Will McDonough is either 100% right or just a flack for
Management.

Shouldn't we be wary of what they say. If

As noted above, it generally depends on the reporter.

That's a good point, I would note however, with the plethora of
newpapers available on the internet; the presence of the local
Boston Sports media, and all the talk shows, there's simply no need
for me to make up things.  They do it for me.  Don't blame me,
if it's a wacky rumour, I only repeat what I read or hear.

If you believe the scout Bulpett quoted today, Pierce is the best
player on the C's and a offensive dynamo, thus lessening Walker's
possible absence.
