We know you guys are super thirsty for NFL trade deadline blockbusters, but now seems like a good time to warn you guys about the faux sports Twitter accounts out there spreading fake news. See something that seems too juicy to be true… like the Patriots signing Colin Kaepernick? Maybe click on the account to see that verified marker before retweeting.
SI’s Peter King certainly will be covering his bases after biting on @AddamScheft3r’s “breaking news” on Kaepernick:

Even the Capital J journalists need to be on their games… or just read the fake as hell username.
Sidenote: The @AddamScheft3r has already been deleted.
Don’t fret, Peter. It wasn’t just you!
