The news on Rashee Rice keeps getting better and better...
UPDATE
Multiple teams learned before the NFL Draft that Kansas City #Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was allegedly involved in an incident at SMU. Rice (or someone with him), fired multiple bullets into an empty car belonging to Kendric Davis after attending an SMU basketball game… pic.twitter.com/Nx0n1Y7A2H
A previously unreported incident while at SMU could impact the NFL's eventual discipline of Chiefs WR Rashee Rice for more recent off-field events. https://t.co/Bh7OAGembY

I'll be honest, I didn't read/see Florio's story on Andy's possible retirement. There were a lot of those floating around towards the tail end of last season, and I just stopped checking those stories out at some point.
But the ones I did see were all op-ed pieces and not actual reports, and the rules for those are a lot looser than a report. Or they used to be anyway.
And if his story was in fact worded as you wrote above, " 'Andy Reid may retire at season's end'" (bold added) well, that would be an opinion piece, not a report, in which case he can say almost anything he wants, as long as he uses diction like that. [Reply]

Thing is, if Florio doesn't actually have "multiple sources," and/or just fabricated the story about Rice shooting up a car, that would be actionable, or should be by whoever produces/owns PFN, because that story was given as a report, not an opinion piece. But if the story can be verified by other/any credible reporters, well, Florio did his job, at least in this case. [Reply]

Then you don't pay any attention to anything. It was brought up multiple times by him.
It was absolutely not an opinion piece. He was saying he was hearing that Andy was going to retire. His rationale after the extension was that no one corrected him, so Andy really was mulling retirement and that's how he proceeds with stories.
I honestly can't believe you are feigning ignorance in regards to this topic. [Reply]

It’s good to know you comment on many things you don’t know actually know about. It’s right on par with your commenting on parts of games you’ve admitted to not watching.
I bet that if Rice was a Patriot player that Florio wouldn't even report it and if he did, it would be to say that it's a non starter and won't have any impact, which is the case, instead of the misleading conjecture that is all through the article [Reply]

He didn't even lightly backtrack. He doubled down on his bullshit when Andy got an extension. I think he probably even went further. "Well what do you know??? The guy is thinking about retirement at the end of the season probably because he's not getting paid what he's worth because Clark Hunt is a cheap ass!!!!!!!" [Reply]
