Not accusing anyone of Intellectual Theft.
Ideas are out there in the Public arena and if I was a Sports Writer I would likely get on Boards to hear varying fan opinions and interests to help generate ideas for an Article. Having my Thread headline and their Article both start with the word "Could" made me wonder. Plus the tight end idea seemed out of step with what players/positions most everyone else was considering at the time.
No big deal to me if my Post helped influence someone into writing their own article with their own spin on the matter.
It would be interesting and cool to me if it was what happened though.
I would bet that local Sports writers, a few coaches and some players may surf a Board like this one from time to time or even Post.
It means us Board Posters may have a broader audience and chance to impact the dialogue beyond just this Board or maybe not.
