Arbo buries the ......

the ....
the ............
the ....................
lead.

499937801_5d1e38119e.jpgWe've waited a couple of days to even write about this because we want to give a journalist credit when it's due. A scoop ain't a scoop until the guy writing it says so ..

Dang it, we can't wait any longer.
It was Pete Arbogast's Arboblather Arboblog of April 2.
Let's recap ....

He's at pro day at USC ... blah, blah ...
He says he sees "BOTH Ed Oregon and Brian Kennedy at practice yesterday!"
(Probably means Orgeron, but, you know ... and Kennedy, his meal ticket ... )

A much needed win for baseball last night ... yadda, yadda, yadda...

Men's tennis ... blah, blah....

Oh, here it is, some 200-plus words in:
By the way, as I said on the show yesterday, highly credible sources have corroborated each other to me directly (now that’s the way it is SUPPOSED to be done) so don’t let anyone else say they broke the story: OJ Mayo is going to leave school after the spring semester is over, and will shortly be making himself eligible for the NBA draft. Done.

So, is this breaking news? He has "highly credible sources" telling him this "directly" -- the way we journalists do it, by the way ....
We promise when Mayo does decide to leave, we will go back to this and say: Oh, we already knew about this. Why give us old news. Arbo was all over it.
As usual.

"Taj Gibson is most likely staying at USC."

Wait, that's more news? We're not sure. It doesn't seem to be corroborated.
Stay tuned.
