The origins of the horrible Don James rumor spreading online

DerekJohnson

"Kim (Grinolds) said the word on the sideline is that Don James has passed, but we haven't been able to confirm it."

- Chris Fetters in Dawgman.com chat 10/19/13

Speaking for myself, I received a text from a booster, plus I figured that kind of thing would not be mentioned by Fetters/Grinolds unless it WAS confirmed. And I foolishly assumed it to be true, and made some sorrow-filled comments on this message board and called a former player I am friends with to let him know.

Shame on Dawgman for spreading rumors again, and shame on me for not confirming it and being reactionary.

It's disgusting and Kim should lose his fucking access for using James as a decoy for the fire Sark crowd.

Just distasteful and I didn't even think Kim would stoop so low. Like I said in another thread this is even beneath Roof Robbins.

It was either Fetters who was dumb enough to run with it on chat on his own or Kim who was classless enough to TELL Fetters to run with it on chat. Either way, this is a watershed moment of idiocy on the part of Dawgman.

Kim's a good guy.

Seriously though that's a shitty thing to do.

They were just passing on what they heard. How about the times when they are right?

I would appreciate the university cutting their credentials.

Is it rumor or fact? It's unclear.

Kim is still going with it saying "the cancer won."

You don't just float out shit like a legendary coach has died unless you fucking know 100%.

I haven't seen one media outlet report this yet. Just a terrible way to sling the James family through this bullshit.

MelloDawg

Dollars to doughnuts he takes credit for reporting it first if it's tru.

Piss poor - amateur hour

To mention it in the fashion they did warrants a massive fucking beat-down, regardless if it's true
