I don't know why, or even by whom, it just seems that maybe someone had a story to push that would be advantageous to them and went to a guy like Brown.
Just for the record, Chip Brown made his bones long before this. He covered Texas and the Big 12 -- and even the Cowboys for awhile -- for the Dallas Morning News. He's not some blogger trying to make a name for himself. He's already a legit big-timer.
That doesn't mean someone isn't playing him, but it does mean it's far more likely Chip is simply reporting the shirt out of this story.
