The bleacher report is often deliberately misleading and they post wild rumors as fact to increase site hits to get advertising revenue.

I'm not a big fan of BR either, but's only fair to point out that they have changed up their business model:

From Wiki
Although the network still announces the goal of providing an "empowering opportunity for every contributor hoping to establish his or her voice" in the sports blogosphere, [29] Bleacher Report addressed the concerns of its critics by making substantive reforms to its editorial and personnel policies in 2010. These reforms were aimed chiefly at the mechanics of B/R's Writer Program, with an emphasis on enhancing quality and credibility by…- Initiating a formal application process for all prospective writers, wherein only the top 20 percent of candidates earn the right to publish on the site[30][31]
- Introducing comprehensive educational resources for new and veteran writers, including the "B/R U" new-media training program[32]
- Establishing a paid team of high-profile Lead Writers to headline the network's sport-specific writer communities[33]
These reforms, along with the continued growth of B/R's audience, prompted Forbes.com to single out Bleacher Report as a company "doing it right" in August 2011.[34] B/R was also named one of Time magazine's "50 Best Websites of 2011,"[35] and was picked by Adweek readers as 2011's "Best Sports Media Brand."[36]
