It has been a less happy day for the handful of Vikings reporters in town, who were scooped on the Harvin story story by Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.
As the locals scrambled to catch up to the fast-breaking news, MPR's Bob Collins offered up this tweet:
And MinnPost's David Brauer chimed in with this:Did another out of town sports reporter break the Harvin trade?

But sports reporters weren't about to take blogger disses lying down:Hey, the locals are doing a nice job of aggregating! "@mylittlebloggie: Did another out of town sports reporter break the Harvin trade?"

The level of vitriol was then raised by the Pioneer Press's Brian Murphy:@apkrawczynski ok, fair shot even if it's #insultsfrom2005
-- David Brauer (@dbrauer) March 11, 2013
@murphppress OK, since I was a jerk first, I'll accept the shot tho it is perilously close to "you never played the game."

All in all, the back-and-forth was reminiscent of the "no access" Twitter war 1500 ESPN's Phil Mackey got into with local bloggers almost a year ago.@davecampbellap look, I gave and I'll take, but I'm not saying that.

Can't we all just get along?
