aubcali 436 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 BR is a website who lets amateur (would be) sports journalists sign up and write content for free. They might let the "writers" share the monetized elements of their blogging based on hits, but I'm not sure. A while back I clicked on a BR link and it was an article written by a ninth grader. Nothing wrong about it, but I will never rely on BR as a credible source for sports news. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,778 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I only read BR when there's nothing new around the web. Which unfortunately, happens to be a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new B/R Team Stream app for iPhone and Android is a very good breaking news app however, and the breaking news teams have become very effective and reliable.

I had posted this on my Facebook page after the game. Not sure if this was real or not as I had found it somewhere (maybe even here can't remeber) or someone emailed it to me . Check out the records.

It says Miss St. was one of our most crushing losses last season. Unless I missed something the good guys won that one. I'm pretty sure I was there. I caught that but did you miss this little gem ? "It's hard to imagine the Tigers knocking off the Crimson Tide this season, but they'll have a shot if they can eat the clock up and keep that defense on the field. That will keep the game close and crowd in the game throughout the contest." Now just why would we want to keep the crowd in the game when we play in Tuscaloosa ? It just goes to show that most of these guys (columnists in general) know little about AU football. Ian Berg is one of the exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian, you do great work. Don't let the vocal minority bother you. A lot of the people criticizing BR are the same ones that laud you when you link yours. Ironic, don't you think? Indeed it is BB. Tough skin here layered with sarcasm at times. Have you read the comments I get on B/R? Quite an interesting group that frequents the site with the full intent to blast the content I produce. Most have scarlet, scripted A's somewhere tatted on their body I am willing to bet. If folks would like to write, I strongly encourage it. There is a contributor program that is available to all. Positive perspectives about Auburn are great, that is why I started three years ago. I also found a calling three years ago. Some might not and do it just for fun, that's great too. I do get a bit ornery about B/R sometimes I admit. Simply because the platform gave me a chance to find my professional aspirations--which was long overdue--and B/R continues to attempt to add credibility by adding known writers to the fold. When folks defame my credibility, it hurts the message. My message. If others think they do better work, do it. If not, they shouldn't speak out of turn. Sorry for the quick rant. Again I truly appreciate the time you take to read my content and share with the board. I hope to always project Auburn in the best light possible, on B/R and The Parkway.
