case, 5 of the 7 rumored players said not going on the trip for various reasons, didn't. (Trammell was rumored and it looks like that wasn't correct. And of course Taysom turned out incorrect. Seems like mccann is the one who reopened that one.) That's a pretty serious and high percentage. And the fact that i can remember some of the past rumors that didn't come true, shows (to me anyway) that we don't ALL "just forget about it quickly because it never came true"
