Well, it took up most of my morning and I'm frankly exhausted from furiously reading newspaper articles, but I finally found it.

I think I might have to go home for the day to rest up after all that effort that it took.

Thanks...so it was Bernie, explains why I had trouble finding it. I thought it was Strauss or Gordon. I noticed Bernie did reference Strauss, and I do remember the Gordon article I mentioned.

Again it hasn't been pushed tremendously, thus the reason I call it a "rumor."

seriously, if Mo trades Rasmus and doesn't get some insane haul back for him I have no faith in him for the future. That faith has already been shaken by the moves this year, but that kind of stupidity would be the nail in the coffin.

Strauss mentions a possible departure of either TLR or Rasmus quite a bit in his chat earlier this week.

Just when you think the PD couldn't lose any more credibility, they start citing Buzz Bissinger tweets in their articles. Good grief.

I have no idea if Brandon Wood would be available, but it sure seems like he might benefit from a change of scenery. I would love to take a chance on a guy like that, but it sure is alarming how he just fell on his face. The Angels gave him every opportunity to succeed, and starting from the first exhibition game the guy choked.

But he's a good talent, I agree that he's worth pursuing if the price is right.

there's nothing more frustrating than knowing you read something/heard something and not being able to find it

Buzz Bissinger, Bernie's feelings, and Joe Strauss' honest reporting as sources. Hm...
