Most probably write articles like that off reading one line in a summary.
Rohan Connelly did a good bit on it during his podcast - basically said the press box at games is a ghost town, as none of the footy journos actually care about the footy, more interested in muckraking and back room crap

I spent years working in the same office with Scotty "The Truth" Palmer, reporting the sport was left to the cadets and work experience kids!

Kept punching!!!!Working with Scotty was a strange mix of odours, BO, alcohol and cigar smoke, I think that big brown coat he wore was probably beige when it was new, some claimed they could smell him in the lift well before it arrived, he always had plenty of free space in there!
I believe Flubbo modelled his early career on Scotty!
