Sometimes, sports personalities try to be a little too clever for their own good. Often, these moments happen when a particularly big story is breaking or when there is a specific team or player that everyone is debating. Impending free agency offers plenty such opportunites, and Jason Cole unfortunately fell into a classic trap.

Of course, in this day and age, a trolling joke that falls flat gets eviscerated anyway, but when it comes from a reporter that is supposed to be breaking news? That is basically like throwing chum in the water to attract sharks and then jumping out of the boat.
