Osi Umenyiora should probably read up on the Streisand effect.
Umenyiora, a free agent defensive end, issued a statement today denying what he described as “vicious and malicious lies that have recently been perpetuated all over the media.”
That statement caused my eyebrows to raise, because I’m part of the NFL media and I had seen nothing of this story that was supposedly “all over the media.” The statement then sent me to Google News, where I found . . . nothing. Not a single one of those lies “all over the media” came up on a Google News search of Umenyiora’s name.
