I read that article and overdosed on heart and grit and now I can't stop hustling around the house the right way (with a lot of swagger).

To NESN's credit I tweeted that article with the comment "Dear NESN, I can write better articles than this garbage, please hire me" and apparently they namesearch? @NESN posted:@Phylan We do have editorial jobs if you're interested. Visit http://nesn.com/jobs for more information.

I literally learned in 4th grade that paragraphs must contain at least two sentences.

I know I'm not a journalist, but if I could get paid to write about a sport by scrawling random one-sentence paragraphs about nothing in particular I would love to do it. "Our team sucks? Add more grit. So says this reporter."

One sentence paragraphs tend to be stream-of-consciousness type deals with lots of clauses - if you want to accomplish this feat you're probably going to have to pump each line full of references to your favorite lattes, your daughter's sports teams, your travel itinerary, and just how drat tough your job is. And maybe something related to the sport you're covering.

If you guys wanna see some really bad journalism go to here. http://7thwoman.blogspot.com/ Somehow she has more inside access than Chris Botta because the Islanders higher ups are retarded. Yes its a blog, but she's essentially their beat reporter.

I'm sure nobody really cares about this kind of inside baseball stuff, but some editors do that to break up longer paragraphs so readers aren't turned off by a wall of words. That's how I was taught, anyway. Also, Frontline's airing a thing about high school football and it's associated dangers tonight. Should be another good watch.

I don't like to click on lovely journalism to give more pageviews, but you can rate that article on a scale of 1 low - 5 high and it's at a 1.07 right now. You should go and rate it.

Mods, please rename this thread "Ann Coulter Nails It" edit: ahahahahha How do you feel about the government forcing you to pay for someone else’s cell phone? I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening. The government is giving “free” phones to people who are already getting lots of “free” stuff from the government like food and housing. How did all of these people survive before the cell phone came along. Were they sent a roll of quarters to use in a pay phone?

As a Philadelphia fan, the 2008 WS parade, with its images of a sea of Red going down Broad street and following the team to Citizen Bank Park, was awesome. But you know what would have made it more awesome? If everybody was wearing a three-piece suit with a fedora.

There's been a lot of dumb poo poo in this thread, but that column is probably the first that made me actually say holy poo poo. How loving dumb do you have to be to write that???? The only logical thing I can think of is that it was posted at 3:30 am and he was loving hammered himself. Jesus gently caress.
