Wowowow I mean I am actually just laughing at the moment and I don't even find football funny. More arrest, star players leaving and being cut. Every time you think the wreck is ending another car piles onto it.....
Read the sentence again. ESPN (i.e. Guitierezz) is saying that any rumors of Navorro Bowman getting cut amount to logically flawed guesswork.
He calls it conjecture (a dismissal of it) and also a logical leap (a second dismissal, a la a logical leap fallacy).
It's poorly worded, but his intent is clear.
Basically the thread title is wrong; Gutierrez is dismissing the speculation about Bowman getting cut, not supporting it.
(This is why rather than talking about the potential loss of Bowman and Willis from that point forward, he ends up rounding back around to his topic: if Borland has what it takes to step in for Willis).
