Yeah I think that if enduro really wants to clear up doubt about the validity of his "sources" then he should go ahead and lay the FA names out. It's not as if local Miami journalists are trolling FinHeaven and ready to start naming names based on a random internet poster that claims he's connected. In fact, I recall, enduro said that exact very same thing when he originally popped up claiming that he's friends with Jeff Ireland. If you look at the original post, which I believe was about Pat Devlin, enduro said that Jeff Ireland didn't mind telling him information because he doesn't care what goes on a message board. If he doesn't care, why the secrecy about the two FA names?
So far the only thing I've seen enduro be right about is Pouncey. All credit where credit is due there, but at the time he wrote it, most mock drafts were shifting their picks toward Pouncey as well.
I'm not trying to be hard on anyone, I'm just trying to put myself in the shoes that enduro supposedly fills: I'm friends with Jeff Ireland, and I go boating with him, and he gives me his opinions on players and stuff because he doesn't care what goes on message boards, I want to give fellow Dolphins fans the information and I want them to believe me that I'm really connected with Ireland...so why would I beat around the bush? Why play the game of tricks and hints?
Personally I'm not leaning either way on whether enduro is really connected or not, which is in itself saying something (because I'd usually be dismissive by default). That could be construed as a relative vote of confidence in enduro, that I'm not totally dismissive. His current predictions about free agency are that the Dolphins will trade for Carson Palmer, but if that doesn't happen because Mike Brown is too stubborn then they'll sign Kerry Collins. I'm waiting eagerly to see if the Dolphins do indeed trade for Palmer or sign Kerry Collins, if for no other reason than to clear up enduro's credentials...or prove he's a charlatan.
