I know LaCanfora gets a lot of hate around here, but at some point, I feel it's worth taking a step back just to admire the long-term consistency of his Steelers reporting. So I'd like to, in this thread, archive the laundry list of revelations that were first reported by Mr. LaCanfora. Off the top of my head, I come up with three, but I know there are literally dozens more, and if you guys could contribute I'd appreciate it.

(1) 'Don't be surprised when the Steelers cut Hampton in a few weeks' [Post 2010 season]
(2) 'Steelers ready to trade up to bring in Mike Pouncey' [pre-2011 NFL draft]
(3) 'Steelers deal with Mike Wallace basically done' [2 weeks ago]
(4) 'Steelers working on deal for Roethlisberger to Raiders, Rams said no.'

At some point, you have to wonder whether he really does have a high-level source who just thinks its hilarious to troll him.

I've had this theory for a while. If true, it is hilarious.

The funniest thing was the Perch Peaches twitter battle

Perch is such a laid back dude...If you piss him off he gets real fired up...Peaches upset Perch a lil bit and Perch dropped the hammer of the Gods on his ass

I couldn't find his blurb about Lebeau retiring, but here's his story about Keith Butler heading to AZ
Peaches wrote:
There is a good possibility that Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers coach Keith Butler will leave the team after the Super Bowl to become the Arizona Cardinals' defensive coordinator, a source with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday

Was this posted? I must see it.

Perch, or maybe FC, has to share the story of how Peaches got his name. It's classic!

And it would be hilarious if some high-level source was just trolling him, but you'd think at some point he'd get the hint and stop using that source.

Unfortunately - and this applies to all news - in the internet/blogosphere age the public now rewards scoops/speed over accuracy.

Hampton cut, Lebeau going to Arizona, Butler going to Arizona, Lebeau retiring, etc.

@JasonLaCanfora With Dick Lebeau retiring, Keith Butler going to Arizona, and Hampton getting cut, shouldn't the Steelers draft defense?

JasonLaCanfora
@SteelPerch dude you're being a clown. I threw it out there in a chat as a possibility on a shocking move before cuts that year and it ..

SteelPerch
@JasonLaCanfora I'm being a clown because you reported the Steelers would cut their Pro Bowl NT with no replacement on the roster?


Jason La Canfora
@SteelPerch was something being chatted about there at least to some degree. Never reported it. My steelers track record is unimpeachable


SteelPerch
@JasonLaCanfora Unimpeachable? When it comes to the Steelers you are 0 for 10? You might want to find a new source from the team. Your current one has been messing with you!


Jason La Canfora
@SteelPerch stop following me. Its all good.

SteelPerch
@JasonLaCanfora Get off of NFL Network with your bunk Steelers rumors. Are Lebeau or Butler coaching in Arizona yet?
