    I understand your thinking there; however, the headline presents a double-edged sword. As soon as you place "transfer rumors" in a headline, we can only be safe in assuming that readers will take every slide as an official rumor, and therefore we must be held accountable in properly sourcing throughout.

    A solution would be to tweak the headline to not include "rumors," but I know I've read Dempsey/Liverpool rumors before, so I was unsure of whether to change the headline myself or if you merely forgot a couple links.

    As always, I appreciate your quick response.

    Really late reply--sorry! But I've moved around a lot in SEC-land, so I grew up in Louisiana and have support for my Tigers and Saints, but much of my family are Clemson Tigers so I'm happy to support them for ACC domination! Always nice to see similar support!

    Thanks for the explanation! I'm a stranger to pistons, so I appreciate the information. Feel free to change it back if you'd like to preserve the original pun.

    You're welcome. Keep up those good EPL articles! They are definitely interesting previews. I am an Arsenal fan, but I am not quite as up on other teams, so those sort of writeups are helpful.
