PETA said there was no story, other reporters saif there was no story. However stories may be created from rumours n posted into blogs and spoke from person to person. The NFL are highly sensitive right now, and their pr people are doing the job a pr person is suppose to do and catch something before it comes an issue, because it is much easier to do that, than to have to do damage control.

They will soon as the NFL has great clout in politics, who needs the FBI when the NFL Security is "on the job".

You called other reporters (because you were eager to tip off competitors on this 'hot scoop'?), then PETA (because an advocacy organization is always involved in the fine details of an unpublished criminal investigations, right?) and then the Eagles (because team PR folks are always happy to work with writers on negative stories about illegal activity on the part of their players). Well, after such enterprising effort, I can see why you'd conclude 'Nothing here to see, folks!' But I gather another writer may have tried something even more innovative. Like, oh, contacting local police and, since the Vick case is a federal one, the DOJ investigation team on all matters dog fighting. I'm sure you can find contact information for the FBI types on an invention called the Internet. Otherwise, your narrative of the odd but hardly particularly interesting interaction with the NFL security guy is much appreciated. Maybe the next time, you can write about your story budget meetings with editors over there. Then a column on the kind of computer you work on. Then a feature on what time you take a lunch break, and what you usually eat on Thursdays. Boy, that was some ‘investigation’ before you gave up.

They answer no comment, because this is the first they heard of the rumor. Immediately, they contact the league because if it is true, they need to find out. Since nobody heard of this before, the NFL/Eagles' only contact for this rumor is Mr. Daulerio. Hence, the visit from Mr. Clark. Investigating this makes perfect sense. However, the manner in which they are doing this is stupid. Mr. Clark should have called first and the Eagles need to do more than say "no comment." My 2¢:

If they are this sensitive about these rumors, then there's got to be something they are covering up. Instead of writing about rumors, how about doing some more digging. A call to the Humane Society of the United States which spearheaded the Vick exposure (not PETA) might also help. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

You didn't feel there was enough news to report. Then someone from the league dared to show up at your doorstep, so suddenly it's newsworthy. It's inside baseball, to mix sports metaphors. And since when does Philly Mag care about "the courtesy of a phone call"? Quite whining. This all makes perfect sense. You didn’t feel there was enough news to report.
