False report about WDAE & Buc's Fanfest

Steve Duemig just reported on WDAE that the Seattle Times ran some of the Tampa Tribune's Ira Kaufman's reporting on Stevens, but incorrectly included a line that claimed the Big Dog would be leading a protest at this year's Buc's FanFest. Duemig never said this and has formerly denied it, also adding that no one from Clear Channel (WDAE's owner) will be doing so, though they're certainly not pulling punches about intensely disliking the Stevens re-signing.

The mistake was apparently added by an editor at the Seattle Times and Ira Kaufman, the Tribune, and Duemig have all demanded they correct it. As of this moment, it's still up.

UPDATE (4:30 p.m.): Chris Landry just said on Steve Duemig's radio show that he took Jerramy Stevens off his NFL draftboard in 2002 because of known character issues. He said he also knew of several other teams who wouldn't draft him for his past. Hmmmm.
