Smith also did a segment where he pointed out of phony the whole anthem thing is. He brought up the fact the US paying the NFL is the only reason they are there at all.

I think
-Allbright took that screenshot for a "man this game sucks!" tweet
-La Canfora then tweeted that "an NFL exec" sent "this pic" [same pic] to him as a "man this game sucks!"
-Allbright suspects there is no exec and that La Canfora is basically retweeting him with some plausible deniability in a way that makes it look like it's "his" tweet.

STAKES PRETTY HIGH, obviously.

Oh man, I definitely can't go there with you.

LaCanfora sucks really bad, but I mean, Darren Rovell, Jason Whitlock, Skip Bayless, Colin Cowherd would be my 1-4 punches and that's not even counting like Jay Mariotti who I don't think we can even call a sports media guy anymore.

Jay Mariotti blocked me on Twitter for just reporting the news. The news was that someone made his occupation wife beater on Wikipedia. I didn't @ him. He searched his name.

The cards game had a 3 man booth and i was about dying from how bad it is. I hate it in baseball but I can kind of understand it because sometimes baseball is too boring and long for 2 people to fill the dead air with but in football there's a play every 40 seconds tops and sometimes you have to bring in pereira to explain something and there's times when the ref is speaking and you don't talk over him, etc. i don't think the color guys were actually dilfer level bad but there were 2 of them and they would talk over eachother and start to speak and say "no you go first" and it was just way worse than if you only had the worse of the 2 in the booth.

I was cheering for Albright until he dropped this turd in my morning coffee:

quote:

“I hate to mention this part because it seems self-aggrandizing, but I spent 15 years in the U.S. military, and part of the soldier’s creed is don’t lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate anyone who does. Before getting into this industry, one of the things I thought about journalism as a whole and even sports journalism was that there was honesty to hold people’s feet to the fire. The longer I’m in this industry, the more I find out just how many scumbags are in it, people out to make a name for themselves who absolutely will lie about anything to get that. I don’t have respect for people like that.”

Jason La Canfora sucks on a lot of levels. He pretends to be the world's biggest Orioles fan but in 2012 was tweeting about how he's loved the Red Sox for life.

He also legit tried to intimidate another reporter, like he's a loving tough guy. And finally, he's just really unprofessional, calling a guy he used to cover as a beat reporter and who has never been in trouble a turd.









In conclusion, gently caress Jason La Canfora and thank you for your attention
