He still does that today but people have gotten used to it. Just remember that not everything he says is him reporting on something, but him saying "I wonder if....."

It doesn't mean he's a fraud or has an axe to grind. Just gotta listen between the lines a bit more now
People were taking what he was wondering and reporting it as fact so he stopped doing radio.

In other words he'd get some info from an agent, player etc and then add " I wonder if this means X is Y" and then it would get reported that X was in fact Y.
