Ehud posted:The Dolphins have a beat writer named Omar Kelly. He has over 47000 tweets and most of them are terrible. Sometimes he institutes periods where if you tweet @ him on a certain topic he will block you permanently. Yesterday if you used "Kolb" and "Flynn" in the same tweet he blocked you. Sometimes I forget that FakeOmarKelly isn't real. Also, Armando Salguero is an awful beat writer and may not actually have any insider sources, but that won't stop him from breaking stories!

Sash! posted:I don't think its necessarily being unreasonable thinking that there could be players that are claiming injury that didn't have head injuries. Yeah, actually, it's pretty unreasonable given the number of sub-concussive impacts pretty much every player suffers in practice alone. Even if a player went his entire career without a helmet-to-helmet collision, he would have suffered dozens of helmet-to-turf collisions even if he only played the NFL-average 3 seasons.

(Not that he wrote the article, I just hate reading anything he writes for Deadspin and it seemed relevant) Also Flesch-Kincaid seems like it measures something that's difficult to quantify ("readability") so it's not surprising to find out that it doesn't do a good job of it.

Copy editing is tons of fun, I know all the symbols and I have a green pen for being nice and a red pen for putting the fear of God into writers please hire me, somebody Also the thing to keep in mind is that the average football writer is writing for a pretty broad audience who typically won't notice common grammatical and syntactic errors; also Peter King has no editor and cranks out MMQB in 12 hours on a train, this is literally the process that I use to write college papers I don't want to do E: Also, seeing Favre watching Lard Lad on a television screen is still magical

midwat posted:King also has no real inclination/incentive to rock the boat at all. The status quo with the league (i.e. Goodell being god-king) has made him fat and happy, so there's no reason to challenge it. You know what else has made him fat and happy? Lots of cream infused coffee drinks I'm not sure who the antithesis of King would be. I can only remember beat writers by name if they're being self-important douches.

Febreeze posted:Something we have to remember is Peter King currently sucks, but he earned his way to the top rightfully. He was an excellent reporter for years, gaining contacts and credibility. But once he reached the top, he stopped trying and is now a lazy bum in a cushy job with no one challenging him. Occasionally you still see glimpses of what he used to be, but mostly he just doesn't try anymore because he doesn't have to. No, no, you're thinking of Rick Reilly. Pete has always been a fluffer to the stars (most notably the Steve Young-Gatorade thing and the years of Favre slobbering)

Also genetically Tim Tebow is pretty loving gifted (fast, arm like a cannon, big as gently caress) but the problem is with his mechanics, which are so skullfuckingly awful that they render him useless on any sort of consistent basis.

Its Miller Time posted:Wasn't this just one summer before the draft? I haven't heard of him doing anything since entering the NFL, nor noticed an improvement to my untrained eye. Which is confusing, since he's always billed as super hard working, but perhaps mechanics really can't be changed. Kaepernick and Aaron Rodgers both rebuilt their mechanics, and Cam Newton has been steadily improving his footwork since he got to the NFL. They can be changed, it's just Tim Tebow hasn't been able to (or hasn't wanted to, whatever)

Kalli posted:I think the needed tons of work to adapt to the NFL combined with ending up on two teams in utter turmoil / trainwreck situations kinda answers that. Basically. I was doing a game-by-game analysis and exploring the rest of the roster but what it really boils down to is he got shoved into a starting role for the last three games of his rookie season and looked decent enough to where his coach pulled Kyle Orton and shoved Tebow out there at 1-4, and Tebow responded by transubstantiating 7 wins, which kind of ruined his chances of being able to take it slow until he was ready.

Robinson is also faster than Tebow, doesn't bring the off-the-field poo poo that Tebow does (which, even though his teammates may dig his leadership, is ultimately a distraction and takes away from the team as a whole), is younger (and therefore has more upside), and is on a cheaper contract than Tebow. And as Rap said, he's already willing to lineup in the backfield/as a wide receiver/as a kick returner in addition to taking snaps at QB which Tebow has shown reluctance to do. I can't imagine a world where I would rather have Tim Tebow on my NFL roster than Denard Robinson.

He described a reporter as "notable" without saying why he was notable. It's such a small thing but it really shows how he writes these columns on a fly-by-night basis without giving a poo poo.
