Kalli posted:I was wondering when the NFL was going to start calling in their hacks. Merril Hoge had his career ended and nearly died because of concussions (which he later successfully sued the poo poo out of the Bears for mishandling), and he somehow still got all self-righteous about the Kurt Warner thing.

All beer owns in its own way and beer snobbery is dumb is heck, just drink what you like and never lecture someone else about the beer they drink because it makes you look like a jerk and a nerd. There all beer arguments over.

axeil posted:These are both good news. I still don't understand why they fired everyone but Tainer and Posnanski. Might as well have let everyone go since you can't run a site with 2 writers. Posnanski was the guy they were originally going to build the site around but it's been a really long time since he worked for them. He left the site for NBC after like two months or something like that.

He's also a legitimately good and well connected reporter (or at least he was). Before he got too far up his own rear end and decided to make every column at least half about him, he could actually be pretty informative. And like Kalli said this was before the days when twitter was around to break everything immediately.

Zach Lowe spends a significant amount of time awkwardly trying to fire back at people he thinks are being critical of him on twitter, even if they were actually complementing him.

There was a point where he seemed vaugely smart because he used big words and occasionally included numbers, but it didn't take very long to realize that his writing is a tortured, rambling mess, his numbers stuff is usually wrong, and he wrote the exact same gigantic column every single week. Eventually I think everyone collectively just stopped paying attention to him until he wrote the stupid poo poo that got him fired. I am genuinely surprised he's still writing almost every time someone brings him up.

Coco13 posted:Saying Russell Wilson isn't black enough is stereotyping Wisconsin quarterbacks. He is not a true Wisconsin quarterback, both because he was only at Wisconsin for like six months and because he is not Jim Sorgi playing under an assumed name.

Beard Yawn posted:Upon some further reading, I guess you're right. I remember hearing when it first went down that their reasoning was that he'd taunted his bosses, but I just read that the president of ESPN said the primary cause was ~journalistic integrity~. Which is frankly hilarious coming from ESPN, celebrators of Tim Tebow's birthday. That was probably the actual reason but not the one they gave. He tried to paint himself as a brave rebel and in the process strongly implied espn wasn't brave enough to call out goddell which is asinine given how they covered the story. I'd have been annoyed if I were them too. MourningView fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Oct 25, 2014 |
