Sorry, the Kool-Aid was taken to KC by a buffoon named Herm Edwards. But you should already know that, Lia.
Actually, I am also giving my HO, and I will make posts like this when I want to, just like you will continue to make your continually useless and garbled 'posts', regardless of whether or not (and usually it's NOT) the consensus opinion agrees. However, I know how much trouble you have with these adult discussions, so I'll respond with one of your kiddie games: Hey champ, why don't you FAGYPOS?
:grin: It doesn't annoy me I was just pointing out he's not a beat writera nd no one takes serby seriously. He has alot of goofy articles and once a NY team wins a few games he'll write about how thye can win a Championship then once they lose a few games he'll write about how horrible they are.
I want to go a different route here instead of complaining. I'm a journalist and starting to break into the business. So let me ask you guys. What would make a good sportswriter/beat writer? What do you want to see from them?
Beat writers are supposed to write about the team not put their opinions or wildest thoughts about the club into the article. That is what columnists do. They should also do some investigating and not report something they read or heard elsewhere. Break a story about the team or player, Beat writers have access to the team that no one else has. Make the most of it.
I think the beat writer's job is evolving away from the canned stories and more toward blogging. I see the Boston papers doing that with their Patriots reporting. The guy that really seemed to blaze the path for it in the Boston market is Mike Reiss. Might think about checking out his stuff. He went from a college student covering high school sports and blogging Patriots stories, to being one of the better-known football beat writers. All because of his blog. I mean, think about how it works now: Jonathan Vilma stands beside his locker after practice and tells a group of reporters how he trained in the offseason by eating fruit. So, the following day, every Jets beat writer tells us essentially the same fruit story. The only variety is that the Post runs the headline, "Vilma has Berry Productive Offseason." It's tedious. You'll still see that dopey canned stuff, but I'd much prefer to read a blog that gets updated throughout the day. Half a dozen smaller stories that, in the past, never had enough meat to make a full story, but as part of a blog, work real well. What I'm NOT talking about is a guy like Cannizzarro selling his pizza-stained notes to a fan site for a membership fee.
H' mm sounded to me you were carping & whining like a 2 year old cause Cimini & Serby ran to the way you think anti NYJ articles. Reporters just like us can state there HO. 5th amendment gurantees that in case you did not know that. For you to complain on this board is quiite silly since we can change nothing. If you are so POed take it up with that reporters managment who are the only ones who can take him away from reporting about the NYJs
He wasn't "carping & whining" but just stating his opinion on the content of the article. Why can't he share his opinion here? Isn't that the whole purpose of a message board?
It was carping & whining & just plain silly since us on the board can not control the beat writers. If those articles would have been positive either then negative ABYZ would have be quietier then a church mouse. IMHO it was true babyism on ABYZ part
IMHO it is true babyism on your part for you to dwell on someone else's opinion. It seems to me like you are the one doing the carping & whining.
Did U hear me complaining? It sure sounds like real sour grapes on ABYZ part to complain only when the sportswriters wrote negative stories. I sure last year when Serby was writing we are SB bound stories ABYZ was in NYJ heaven & was in love with Serby
I must have missed where he quoted the actual "negative stories" you're referring to here in this thread. Looked more like he was making an overall general statement about the beat writers. And I find this hilarious especially coming from you considering you do nothing but praise the negative articles, but when there's a positive article, you do nothing but complain about it. A double-standard from Champ? Who would have guessed that?
