The local beat writers for the team said throughout the year that any anonymous source that leaks to either Schefter or Jenkins is Shanahan.

Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd are professional trolls and we don't ask who they hosed to get those jobs

Rap posted:Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd are professional trolls and we don't ask who they hosed to get those jobs Yeah I'm pretty sure someone has at some point. Either that or we asked who they have blackmail photos of. Still a garbage article that the Washington Post should be embarrassed to run.

I like to think Skip & Colin gently caress all of us, just a little bit, every day.

I find Cowherd easy to ignore, some people seek him out and that's fine; I won't take that sick little pleasure away from them. Bayless, however, is always popping up everywhere with his terrible gimmicky poo poo.

The Detroit News has this columnist named Jerry Green who has covered every Super Bowl since the very beginning. Usually he posts harmless fluff pieces that are amusing if you're into football history, but after last night he churned out this hunk of poo poo:quote:Peyton Manning kept pitching — mostly itsy-bitsy passes — and what we saw in Super Bowl XLVIII was the unraveling of a legend. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140202/SPORTS0101/302020060#ixzz2sGbqLxt3

Mike Preston, the Baltimore Sun's own Skip Bayless, wrote an article on how Peyton Manning should retire. He's wrong and stupid but that isn't why I'm here. Mike Preston posted:There are few players I'd ever pay to watch play. Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, Dick Butkus, Ray Lewis and Dan Marino quickly come to mind. Manning is on that list, too. When you're poor excuse for sports writing grants you a paycheck and free tickets I think its in poor taste to condescend to anyone that would pay money to see your average Football game. If the game doesn't have a guaranteed first round HoFer Mike Preston isn't interested.

Jeeesus that's a smug thing to say. Especially since there's no particular thrill to watching a running back put up even a 6.0 YPC compared to a one-off punt return for TD, interception return, fake punt or any number of unpredictable plays that aren't made just by "the greats."

Not quite a journalism fuckup, but I was reading ESPN's NFC North blog and going "Wow, Schwartz's mug is taking a while to load..." http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/64930/some-more-nuggets-from-jim-schwartz Turns out they didn't actually create a smaller image for the photo blurb, they took a huge image and just simply shrunk it down to fit: http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2013/1118/nfl_a_jimschwartz_cmg_65.jpg Isn't this like web design 101 to not do that?

Or maybe ESPN wants to make sure we know that Schwartz is really benefiting from the use of that new exfoliator.

Not technically a football article, but I'm sure you will all enjoy this crap. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stuart-muszynski/the-12th-man-can-transfor_b_4761246.html quote:Forgive me, but I don't believe that the Seattle Seahawks really won the Superbowl. It was the "12th man" that won it. How else can we explain how an underdog team that was "too young," with a quarterback who was "too short" decimated the Denver Broncos? It gets worse from there.

It reminds me of this genuinely amazing book "And the Band Played On" about the AIDS epidemic. In one passage he describes a certain type of white blood cell as "The Quarterback of the body's defensive line" and to this day I wonder how nobody pointed out that makes no sense in editing.

I think they're using two separate metaphors without realizing it rather than one big metaphor that they've mixed and that only football autists would really be bothered by it.
