Justin Dunk is doubling down, somewhat precariously IMO.

His story says: "One of the sources works in the CFL and another is close to Manziel. They independently said they had knowledge of a workout but did not want their identities divulged."

On Regina radio yesterday, he reportedly said, "I like to deal with the facts and it did happen . . . If he indeed worked out for a CFL team, which is true, . . ."

So he's stating categorically that Manziel worked out for the Sask Roughriders. The only way he could know with absolute certainty that it happened is if he was physically present for the workout. His two sources could have lied or been mistaken. It is not out of the realm of possibility that someone in the CFL who's out to get Jones made the story up, and someone close to Manziel was mistaken or in on the scam. Dunk is trying to become a journalist but he seems to have ignored fundamentals of the profession, such as not accepting everything someone tells you as gospel. You'd think in this age where political leaders spin falsehoods routinely, that would be self-evident.
