Dangers in listening to the rumors....

Last night, Adam Schein and Chris Carlin, the masterminds behind the SNY TV show Loudmouths, tweeted and discussed on their show their show how sources close to UConn head coach Jim Calhoun believed he was retiring at year's end.

It wouldn't surprise anyone. Jim Calhoun's health and the Huskie's struggles have led to those rumors all season long.

But alas, they seem to be false, as both Seth Davis and Adam Zagoria went on record saying they spoke to Jim Calhoun's son Jeff and that those rumors were not true.

That wasn't the only rumor-mongering that has occurred over the last 24 hours.

Yesterday after, LEO Weekly, an "alternative magazine" based out of Louisville reported that there was a "national media race" to expose John Wall and/or DeMarcus Cousins for receiving "cash money and, perhaps, real estate."

But once again, those rumors seem to be false, as KSR's Matt Jones made some calls and found "absolutely no validity or even a shred of truth" to them.

Like they say, don't believe everything that you read.
