I get that but Jake was not sorry one bit about the way he carried on. To me thats more important than the people mess up time to time because if he said, my mess up and owned up to it, then I'd respect that way more. Instead he acted all defensive about that shit. Can't respect it, but to each their own.

My issue was that he aggressively responded to those who were nasty and insulting to him.
Shut your face! Literally went to the Dr. yesterday and they told me I’m. 17 lbs over weight!
A "beef" between those two would consist of Big Whit shoving him in a trash can.
I remember that. To be fair, he can't exactly state if it's negative or positive at that time, as it would of lead to only one thing at the time, which would have been AD retiring. Saying something is "big news" isn't positive or negative and is up to the interpretation of the one reading it, thats not on Jake. What I took from it, is that he does have credible sources inside the organization, which makes him more credible with the things he may say or opinions he has regarding what he's hearing from his sources, which is good for the fans.
It was a classic troll job, he built up anticipation and misled (whether intentionally or not) the fan base. To gain what? Credibility? It was a self serving attempt to glorify himself and likely pulled the same nonsense on other sites. Then he doubled down by being dismissive and incredibly insulting. Fuck him, he's a hack

I’m a fat body for a while I guess.
You know it. I remember one time when I thought I was wrong, but then found out I was wrong about that... ~ @Allen2McVay
Thank you my friend. I appreciate you bringing-up that ONE time.
He claimed to have "inside information" (that he was required to keep quiet, according to his statements after the fact). I figured, if he knew the exact information he may not have led people on (as any intelligent person would not have done). Instead of "Big News Coming This Week" during the first wave of free agency, a better approach would have been "Big Changes Coming This Week". He wouldn't have disclosed anything and he wouldn't have built up the fanbase for a huge letdown. But I don't believe he really knew. He was probably told the same thing he told ROD (and others). Then got egg on his face because of the way he played it. And then, rather than coming clean.....'I didn't know exactly'.....which would have compromised his "insider" status.....he doubled down to keep his "insider image" alive ('I was required not to say anything'). Clearly, not the way to make friends.
Can you name one single talking head that does that? I’m not taking sides here and I think Jake is a bit of a dweeb (no more than many in his field), but it seems that a lot of people are hell bent on wanting him to burn.
Insiders and connected people hint at breaking news thats coming all the time, that's nothing new. I'm not gonna argue that he did it bc he wanted to prove he had credible sources and boost his name in the industry. You can agree with that approach or not, but if he had come out and said that he knew Aaron was gonna retire all along bc his sources told him, after the fact, no one would believe him.
