Putting out a Fire before it Starts

In case you hear something in the grapevine about Raji and Drugs at the Combine...

ProFootballTalk.com is now reporting that the positive drug test for B.J. Raji--one of several potential first-round NFL draft picks named in an NFL Draft Bible report two weeks ago--was bogus intel, and that Raji came through the draft's screens clean as a whistle, as Raji and his agents claimed from the start.

Sports Illustrated's Tony Pauline reported the same news using unnamed sources, and has refused to retract his story...

SI later did retract the story.

An SI.com report posted earlier this month incorrectly stated that Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji's name would appear on the NFL's list of players who tested positive for drugs at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. We regret the error.

Indeed.
