On 29 January 2018, the YourNewsWire web site published an article reporting that an NFL entertainment lawyer was found dead hours after telling reporters that the upcoming Super Bowl was rigged: None of this was true. The NFL employs no entertainment lawyer named Dan Goodes, nor did anyone by that name recently blow the whistle on rigged football games or die in a gangland-style execution. This report was a fabrication, nothing more than a riff on a recent hoax about NFL games being rigged that was published by YourNewsWire, a fake news site. The article's accompanying photograph of the alleged crime scene was actually lifted from a July 2017 news report about a New York police officer who was shot in her patrol car.
