Armando Salguero, quite possibly the worst beat writer in Miami, was fired from his radio show. He has since been sending nasty private messages on Twitter to people that make fun of him. https://twitter.com/JaySoCrayZ/status/206824927532302337

This is the same guy who went on a 10 minute tirade after being introduced on... The Herd... I think... when Peyton was making his "decision" and they brought in different beat writers. The host introduced him as a beat writer, Armando immediately corrected him and said "I'm a columnist for the Sentinel", where the host said "Well, they are pretty much the same thing" and Salguero used his entire time to explain the difference and why he was better than a beat writer. He then said Peyton would come to Miami because he was familiar with the area. gently caress he is awful

A columnist is better than a beat writer because "beat writer" implies you're responsible for staying up on a "beat" and doing legwork while "columnist" implies you're a lazy retard idiot indistinguishable from a rivals poster

He only writes about the Miami Dolphins. That's it.

Then the line really is, a beat writer is responsible for something and a columnist isn't.

He was acting like being a beat writer is looked down upon by columnists. He was insulted he was considered a beat writer

I guess at this point he should be insulted to be considered a radio host huh

What an unprofessional twat. The Packers writers are generally good. Jason Wilde isn't very good as a writer and engages in speculation too much, but he is at least a nice guy who can manage an interview fairly well. That puts him above blithering retards like Peter King. superaielman fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Jun 6, 2012 |

midwat posted:Look at that loving sentence. This man writes for a living. Where to start? What's the biggest nugget of corn in this poo poo sundae? Is it Scoop opening the article with a five-paragraph digression about a hypothetical restauranteur he made up? Is it how he mistakenly attributes a quote to Jerry Angelo, when it was actually Ted Phillips speaking months after Angelo's firing? Is it how, in the process of loving up that quotation, he suggests (incorrectly) that the Bears haven't made a new offer to Forte since before last season? No, the worst thing is the loving SENTENCES. Jesus, look at some of these abominations: "Stop holding out and accept the franchise tag, which will pay him $7.7 million this season (a significant upgrade from what he made last season, when he was paid $600,000), have the same season he had last season before he was injured then come back to the table and get the contract from the Bears that he was looking for when this whole thing began." - Either Scoop meant for this entire thing to be written in the imperative, or he forgot that most sentences tend to have a subject. Also, there are about fifteen clauses in this fucker, jammed together like passengers on the Tokyo subway, just screaming for a comma. "Games -- not all, but too many -- teams play in which they want the player to overproduce and when the player does they hold it against them in contract negotiations; ownership saying the "shelf life of a running back is short" as a new way of devaluing a player regardless of what he does and using it as leverage against the value of the player's pending contract." - It takes a special kind of writer to squash an entire paragraph into one sentence, then make that sentence a run-on and a fragment at the same time. How do you write a 66-word sentence without creating a single functioning independent clause? More importantly, who told Scoop Jackson what a semicolon was? Don't ruin semicolons for me, Scoop. "(If this is the new standard procedure of how NFL teams are going to monetarily access running backs, the entire structure of rookie contracts for players at that position needs to change.)" - Apparently this sentence is important, but also secret. That's the only explanation for why it gets to be its own paragraph, but the whole loving thing also has to be put in parentheses. Also, how the hell does one "monetarily access" a running back? What does that entail, exactly? I'm picturing Scoop trying in vain to swipe his ATM card through Ray Rice.

I think his analogy is the worst.quote:Let's put this Matt Forte dilemma into a different perspective. "Matt Forte isn't being paid by the Bears. So he... should... start his own football team?"

Because that very first "say you..." makes the entire thing a hypothetical situation, so you don't need to keep saying it over and over again. Even the conclusion of the hypothetical is a hypothetical conclusion! My brain hurts! Also, yes, Matt Forte has to go down to the bank and get a $100 billion loan to get his own football team.
