A couple of hours later, I heard one of our reporters on the set shooting his segment for the news program and he was talking about this player attempting a comeback with the Jays. After he finished his segment, I went up to him and told him "That's crazy, I literally just met his brother last week and he told me about this but I wasn't sure if it was true." He then told me that he overheard me talking about it earlier. Suddenly I realized... I was his source. He never even spoke to me directly to get any details at all, simply overheard a conversation about a guy at a resort and then reported in on television coast-to-coast. That is insanely lazy reporting with zero effort to verify if it was true.
Thanks for the peek behind the curtain.
