Always view unnecessarily anonymous sourcing with healthy skepticism. Liars and agenda pushers hide behind anonymity. Bloggers such as this guy aren't held to the same standards as professional journalists. They pass along unverified info without attribution. And if the accusations about Neon are legit, whoever made them isn't at Colorado anymore, so there's no reason not for him to be identified. Other than being denounced on CU message boards, it's not like he'd face serious reprisals.
I hate these fanboy and provocateur clickbait sites that've sprung up in the digital age, with unvetted/intentionally provocative/ridiculously biased content by hacks and posers. They occupy a fuzzy middle ground between professional journalism and a message board. Always trying to show they have some unique inside information, or to draw in a target audience, they'll throw anything out there to generate attention for themselves.
As Nebraska fans, we WANT the article to be true. The picture of Neon telling his team they have to go see Shadeur up on stage or they're off the team is a beautiful one to NU fans.
