Update: Tim Cowlishaw's Account Verified

[Update by John B, 08/22/10 9:22 PM EDT ] Cowlishaw is insisting the Revis news is separate from any reports on a Nick Mangold contract extension. In response to somebody suggesting he mixed the two up, he writes:

@Jets321 yeah I don't know the difference between mangold and revis. Please...

*******************************************************************************************************************

There were questions as to earlier reports from Dalas Morning News and ESPN personality Tim Cowlishaw's report a Darrelle Revis contract is imminen t . Some speculated it might have been a hoax or that his Twitter account was hacked.

Both Bob Glauber and Chris Mortensen are saying it is in fact Cowlishaw.

We will find out the accuracy soon, but I would not be so quick to say it is false. I know Cowlishaw is from a different city, but we don't know who he knows. Maybe his sister's hairdresser's brother is in the loop. Maybe he knows somebody from HBO from when the Cowboys did Hard Knocks. A lot of stories get broken by unlikely sources. I find it tough to believe he would risk his credibility as a journalism if he wasn't sure because the backlash would be huge.

At least we know his account was verified.

Now if we can only find out if it’s Revis, Mangold or both.

Wait... now I'm getting confused.

Who started the Mangold rumors?

A number of the beat writers are reporting the Mangold stuff.

Amen.

I believe him because not close to home and because he said his source has never been wrong. He’s pretty reputable and he knows how bad it will look if he’s wrong. He’s not climbing out on this limb with a comfortable level of certainty.

Oh man, could be a VERY good week for the Jets!!!

I’m ecstatic that they are close with Mangold, he deserves to be rewarded for showing up to camp. But if they top that off with a Revis deal, too? Well, let’s just say I’d be happy as a pig in you know what!
