Deadspin Spills Embarrassment All Over Itself

Deadspin reported that Cory Gardner had "lied" to the Washington Post about playing football in high school.

Well, you know what happened next: Their primary source clarified that Gardner did play football, from junior high through junior year of high school. He did not play his senior year, for some reason.

Their source is now claiming he told Deadspin that, but Deadspin says it didn't get that email.

I have no idea who is right in that little dispute.

But Cory Gardner did play football in high school (though not his senior year).
