Never trust anything in the Chicago Sun-Times, their Bears reporting is terrible. I wish their entire sports department had been thrown in jail with Conrad Black.

Calling someone a hard worker. Of course they are going to be a hard worker, I'm pretty sure that almost everyone in the NFL is a hard worker.

Beer talk is better than BBQ talk and I won't hear any disagreement.

They have it in bomber bottles at my Kroger :smugdog:

Writing owns, commenters suck.

My stuff gets into the newspaper every once in a while, and the comments on AJC.com made me want to quit forever.

Half of this thread is the reason (sports) journalism is dead. It isn't the half claiming objectivity is important.

I see it used really frequently among black Republicans for some reason.

You're right he shouldn't have taken a sexual implication from the use of the word boner

For the sake of my own sanity, I always replace the word 'source' with 'horse in sports reporting. It makes things more entertaining.

Maybe King's connections will bring in good writers. I mean, Grantland owns even though Bill Simmons is annoying.

Right, guys? Guys?

This might just be me, but all the stuff I find interesting on Grantland comes from guest columns. Their staff writers are dogshit.

It was obviously the result of a hard marijuana sale gone wrong. He shorted him by 25 kilograms of dope.

Nobody editorializes worse than Rotoworld:
I don't mind the "Aaron Hernandez is a bad guy" poo poo before a conviction, because these are sports reporters we're talking about. But that last line, Jesus Christ. A private letter directly to a team, offering to make extraordinary accommodations, apparently unprompted. How is he a bad guy in this case exactly?

His attempts to provide more accountability than the player-protecting CBA allows shows his submission to management.

Denard Robinson will die on the field if they try to play him in any Tebow-style running. His brain is already basically mush.

Walter football is dumb and bad, this has been the case for years. I don't know how they ever got popular or what reputation they are coasting off of.

I'm guessing it's 80% the Emmitt Smith mocks.
