Fans of first-round draft pick collectibles can head over to eBay right now and bid on an "authentic" scrawling, allegedly made by the former Boston College standout and new Green Bay Packer. There are just a couple of issues with it that either make it more or less valuable depending on your point of view. He didn't sign his name, but instead wrote "Soar Eagles" in tribute to his alma mater. Oh, and he also spelled "Soar" wrong. Oops.

So either it's a clever inside joke about the B.C. football team or B.C.'s academic support unit is the punchline. Either way, go Jesuits! Or is Jesus-suits?

2009 Press Pass B.J. RAJI Inscription AUTO Gold 60/99 [eBay]

B.J. Raji, Vontae Davis, Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing were among the players who were reported to have tested positive for either marijuana or steroids during their examination at the NFL combine. However, now that the list of positive tests has been given to NFL teams it appears that everyone who denied the reports was telling the truth—their names are not on the list. (PFT even says their were fewer than ten names on the list in total.) Oops.

Sports Illustrated was among those who reported that Raji had failed his test, but they took down the story from their website after Raji's strenuous denials, saying they needed "further reporting." The mysterious NFLDraftBible.com still has their posts about the positive tests up on their site and it does not appear that they have posted a retraction or update at this time.

We're going to assume that NFL teams are smart enough not to get their scouting information from blogs—that's a generous assumption, of course—and none of these guys will be affected come draft day. Still, another awesome notch on the belt for basement dwelling rumor-mongers everywhere.

At different times last week, NFLDraftbible.com—your source for draft bibles!—reported that Raji, UTEP kicker Jose Martinez, Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin and Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis all tested positive for marijuana. They also said that USC linebackers Clay Matthews Jr. and Brian Cushing had failed tests for steroids. Various representatives for most of the players have denied those rumors. In fact, the agents for Raji (who also work for Matthews) were quite adamant about it, offering a very lengthy and detailed rebuttal.

"Last Thursday, at least two websites published malicious rumors – characterized as fact – that our client B.J. Raji failed a drug test at the NFL Combine, citing unnamed ‘NFL team sources.' On Friday, the NFL issued a statement challenging the foundation for these reports and indicating that neither the League, nor its member clubs, know the results of drug or steroid tests taken at the 2009 Combine and that the independent medical advisors who administer the tests have notified in writing those players – and only those players – who tested positive at the Combine.

"B.J. Raji has NOT received any letter from the NFL or the Independent Administrator indicating that he tested positive for drugs at the Combine. Further, after these unsubstantiated reports surfaced, B.J. contacted the independent medical advisor's office (Dr. Lawrence Brown) to confirm that he had not been sent any letter and has not been entered into the NFL's Drug Intervention Program. B.J. did not receive a return call from Dr. Brown, but learned today that Dr. Brown is not allowed to talk to any player directly unless that player was sent a letter informing him that he had failed a drug test at the NFL Combine and/or been instructed to contact Dr. Brown. That Dr. Brown will not talk to B.J. – as Dr. Brown would otherwise be expected to do under the NFL Substance Abuse Policy if B.J. had failed a drug test or being sent a letter directing him to contact the medical advisor's office – is further proof that these reports are untrue.

Got all that? So what does the dirty website have to say for itself?

The NFLDraftBible.com reported a story based on very reliable sources," Rick Serritella, founder and CEO of the site, told Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal. "We have reported hundreds, if not thousands of stories in the past and we have never had any issues with any of our stories in the past."

Well, I'm sold. See, the thing about drug allegations is that they are almost always false ... right up until the moment that they turn out to be true. (We are talking about marijuana and college students.) The only problem is that even if they aren't true, they can still damage an athlete's reputation and his wallet. So will the NFL step up and settle this thing one way or the other? Will anyone own up to the leaked information? Will I care enough to even watch the NFL Draft? (Unlikely on count three.)

The moral of the story as always—it's A-Rod's fault.
