Look: The Riley Skinner stuff is rumor. That’s it. There is no truth to it, just rumors. Some fan’s metaphorical wet dream. That’s all it is.

But I spoke with a guy I work with, someone who played tight end at Wake Forest, and someone who’s pretty in touch with the program still (he makes a good bit of money, and a good bit of money he makes, he donates).

Hopefully the coaching staff gets a hold of Riley, and gives him one of those life-advice lectures, the ones that heavily discourage taking naked pictures of yourself.
