ellitor 33,113 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 So tonight they posted the tweet & video below. To me it's the most explicit form of their bias against AU they have ever done. Lets band together & hit em where it hurts...The clicks. Let's not click on their crap anymore. You've got to watch Alabama's Ryan Anderson dominate an Auburn lineman at Senior Bowl practice https://t.co/uA0v19csFy — AL.com sports (@aldotcomSports) January 26, 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dshep4au 273 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I agree totally. Their bias is very blatant. Always positive toward bammer and negative toward AU. I wish I had kept a record over the years just of the headlines! A recent example " Bama players not used to losing" after the championship game and "Sore loser Cam Newton leaves press conference" The local sports caster in Bham are just as bad. I just never go to them for Auburn news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,578 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Leff played it well. Took the initial punch well, but got a little over extended at the end when Anderson shed the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,368 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 From a money making standpoint, they're right on. A majority of their readers are likely bama fans, so they phrase it to attract their base. It's slimy and biased, definitely, but it doesn't matter to them when they're seeing their money flowing in. Integrity in (sports)media waved bye-bye a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Lol typical bammer spin from the state media. From snap to when Anderson would have been able to get to a QB was almost 5 seconds. I'll take that every down if that's getting dominated then Leffs QB could pass for a million yards. Now let's see a running down rep and see Anderson buried on the ground about 7 yards down field.

Randman5000 4,229 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I used to read their stuff because the format is easy...however I really stopped after Crepea started his sarcastic crap OR he's trying to make a big story work and hit it big. The rest haven't bothered me as much but I'm more careful about what I click on. I like the idea of a boycott. Need to put this on twitter and spread the word. It needs to be a big push and let them know about it because I doubt they will miss the clicks because it's only Alabama fans on their message boards anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think Leff is more suited for interior line in the pros but definitely will have to work on his chop step balance on interior run blocking. Probably will get drafted late or FA but will get a chance to make some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
