I'm not "emotionally out of whack," myself, though someone who describes any of the reaction in this thread as "emotionally out of whack" is probably somewhat emotionally out of whack. Emotionally out of whack!
Anyway, every time I've seen "inside info" in this board, though, it's been horribly wrong. The dude predicting about the Sonics was the worst, whoever that was.
Usually, it seems just a cry for attention: "Look who I know!" Unless it's Schefter, you're not a trusted expert, so no one's believing you anyway.
