I'll be honest, I didn't read/see Florio's story on Andy's possible retirement. There were a lot of those floating around towards the tail end of last season, and I just stopped checking those stories out at some point.


But the ones I did see were all op-ed pieces and not actual reports, and the rules for those are a lot looser than a report. Or they used to be anyway.


And if his story was in fact worded as you wrote above, " 'Andy Reid may retire at season's end'" (bold added) well, that would be an opinion piece, not a report, in which case he can say almost anything he wants, as long as he uses diction like that.
