Rap posted:yep can't believe the sure-fire moneymaker of news reporting failed you blackula Heh, I'm older than most SA posters. I took some college journalism classes in the late 80s before the print apocalypse was apparent. Even then, every instructor, industry guest speaker, etc., all pounded into our heads that if you liked things like eating or paying rent, journalism probably wasn't for you.

I know that, and I do. Whenever you google anything sports-related BR is in the top 5 results, every time. Pandering is a successful formula - and always has been.

She's usually on point when I see her quoted on twitter. Do the Jets have any other not terrible writers? Cimini is the one I see besides for her, and he's kind of a tool. http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/168273546.html?page=3&c=y Dangerkat posted this in N/V, and it deserves a mention here. The Star Tribune posts an absolutely terrible piece on Chris Cook that handwaves away his crimes. This bothers me more than hacks like Florio stirring poo poo with his rumor mill of a website. This article is blatant apologism for someone who choked his girlfriend out because of a fight. There are a bunch of DV 101 warning flags here that are in the article but get no more than passing mention- the jealously, the violence shown by both parties in the relationship, the victim blaming, the anger issues. The writer instead treats it more like a mistake instead of a serious crime which is infuriating. This wasn't being busted for pot, this was a violent felony that Cook managed to avoid conviction on due to a hell of a defense team and the victim changing her story. So congratulations, Peter King. It's week 1 of the NFL season and your latte sipping, acala riding rear end isn't the worst thing to happen to sports journalism this week. superaielman fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Sep 4, 2012 |

Manish Mehta gets good stories planted with him and Brian Costello is fine, but Vrentas was the best beat writer overall by a rather significant margin IMO. Cimini is...well, yeah.

Slow, old Bradie James blew his coverage of MJD to give up a short pass against the Jags that was their only TD this afternoon and fat, old John McClain from the Chronicle decided it was the right time to tweet this:@McClain_on_NFL posted:This is what happens to SB pretenders. Jags score cause Gabbert threw for 32 to Robinson for a first down at the 5. Gabbert 5 TD pass to J-D gently caress you, Pancakes.

The few times I clicked on their links, I was wondering what the gently caress was going on there. Now I pretty much never go, and was shocked when I heard of the sale. The fact that they were being so terrible intentionally, and the "hate-click" quote basically sums it up perfectly.

The hate click philosophy is ruining journalism and criticism in general. You get guys like Skip Bayless in sports or Armond White in movies, guys who spend much of their career unknown and talentless. Then they start saying knowingly outrageous poo poo for attention and it works.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't the best of them, and Raiders the worst? Adam Sandler's comedies aren't works of genius?

And on top of that the article is lovely enough to be mistaken for a Deadspin meta-sports-blog post.

You think the guy calling someone 'loving idiotic' while representing their website and brand is right? I do agree that I thought I was looking at deadspin at first when I was reading that. There's no good guy here in my opinion.

That almost warps Peter King back around into glue-eating class clown levels of, um, 'respectability' isn't the right word. Basically now I don't want to lose him so long as his brain-droppings can be mined for these sort of nuggets.
