Don't you just wish
That some of these
"so-called writers"
would get a dose of
their own medicine.

For example- what if a writer for the Mobile mess register
were to write an article entiled:

"Is (So & So) still flirting with Homosexuallity?
or how about:
Does (So&So) still beat their wife?
or try this:
Is (So&So) Still a Democrat ?
(That last one -may be over the top)

And let them have to defend it.


People that do Hatchet Jobs
(and call themselves "writers")
are kinda like Monica Luensky.

Their only in it for the Publicity
and they usually got a Blue Dress
hanging in the closet.

Josh Bean, that is an appropriate name for his kind of sports writing. The formula is simple: pick a cockamamie idea and start the column. Telephone a number of experts who will tell you politely you are full of BS. Include their comments but bury them in the middle of your article. Push merrily on to the end where you repeat the same walleyed thesis. After all, the average reader will only remember the lead and conclusion of a column.

The problem began years ago when sports writers yearned to be something more than simple purveyors of game coverage. They wanted to really matter, like the political reporters winning international fame with tales of Watergate.So between tackles and touchdowns they began lathering their writings with sociology and politics, using techniques proved effective by their political cousins in Washington.

Result is we get more crapola like this -- plus in-fighting among the SEC and NCAA -- than we get blocks and tackles on the field. Enjoy,.

   

Looks like someone made him change the headline to the article.  If I were coach Saban, no sports hack from the Press Register would ever get another interview or another phone call answered until a formal apology was offered. This is totally irresponsible.  You can't call this journalism.  It's just a blatant attack on CNS.   

I just noticed the Title Change*
(of this - so called article)

You can bet they were getting
 their BUTT Handed to them on this one.

And rightfully so.

Here is what a Josh Bean looks like and is all about.
I can't beleive this goofball actually want to Alabama.

I'll bet he's "POPULAR" in Tuscaloosa TODAY!
