If it was a joke it would be like "lol look how stupid the internet is b/c they read into everything" Which is a bad joke because it is not funny and is coming from a person who has spent his career reading way too much into everything.

CharlestheHammer posted:It would only work if he is parodying himself but that requires a self awareness he does not possess. Yeah. Again, this isn't even new. He does this pretty much every single time someone does a similar column, even when, as in both cases here, they mention it was influenced by his NBA columns (either because he's so petty he doesn't care or, more likely, because he stops reading after the headline)

I think he believes the Trade Value Column is so singularly Simmons that even offering an acknowledgement is not a justification for jacking someone else's concept Which is insane, but Bill Simmons is insane

I'm sure he spent a lot of time on it over the years but yeah. Edit: It was three parts published on Jan. 23, Feb. 25 and March 17.

At least Magary has the self-awareness that he's a complete goober.

What's great is that, according to this Poynter interview, he'd done a similar column before, about a reporter who was held captive in Lebanon for seven years:quote:"Cleaning out the notebook while hoping Terry Anderson didn't have overdue library books: How long was it? When Anderson was captured, Wally Joyner was in Triple-A. Michael Jordan was finishing his rookie year. Ted Tollner and USC were Rose Bowl champs. Doug Flutie was the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. Jennifer Capriati was 9. And Cal State Fullerton was coming off an 11-1 football season.

Skip was an rear end in a top hat to Sports stars. Like the poo poo he's said about Troy Aikman is terrible. But I'm sure he's fine to his coworkers.

Yeah, Skip used to be a legit reporter back in the day. He was on the ground floor of the SMU scandal and had genuinely insightful things to say on the Pony Excess documentary. He just happened to be ahead of the curve before everyone else realized it: being a hot take machine is far more financially lucrative than grinding it out on the local beat. E: Holy poo poo I just realized Skip is 65 years old. God only knows what his monthly hair dye/Botox budget looks like. Benne fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Mar 25, 2017 |

Well here, have 2 reporters getting pissed off that an SI for Kids reporter actually had a good question I was watching the wrap up show last night and they showed the video of the press conference and as soon as the kid asked the question, my first thought was "holy poo poo that's a really good question". It's amazing how reporters sniff their own farts so often and for so long that they can't even realize that they're terrible at their jobs and a loving kid asked a better question than any of them have in years. I very rarely get worked up over stupid "controversies" but this has me seething with rage.
