Didn't ever whine, just said it was pointless which ended up being true bc day 1 word got out. Nor did I about this, just mentioned it's odd Idk what you're talking about ping pong, but having team gear when you're a "journalist" is a but odd. I ddi edit my post to say it isn't the worst thing in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then be the first goofy smiling in his face trying to get a quote. That is clown behavior and if you are co-signing it, you are just as much as clown too. Now I know why some of these coaches are just straight up pricks to these dudes. Might as well not deal with them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick.AU 13,281 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I mean sheesh, really, keep it as a momento of a school you covered. If I was in their shoes, I would do that very thing. It would be something awesome to look back at the places you've been, worked, etc, but that's just me. It has nothing to do with being a fan.

They didn’t have to accept the hat and just moved on with their day. This is so silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems most didn't accept it. Wouldn't be surprised if they were, in a way, shaming fellow "journalists" who accepted it. Paper guys probably think of themselves a bit differently than rivals/247 beat writers. Most are probably auburn grads in the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,682 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 3 hours ago, cole256 said: I agree but I feel this being auburn board guys shouldn't be so strong to push a narrative. At least let some proof come out, a pattern. Literally nobody even said well if we're saying there was a problem with drops last year (I personally didn't notice anymore drops than you see in a year) this is literally an entire different group. Nobody even have any starts. This group doesn't deserve that. Comments saying it was a problem last year makes sense how even if it was true? Different players, different coaches, different scheme......etc Now do this, imagine if it were stories saying Bo threw an off pass can he ever be consistent? It would be a fit, and in that example it would at least be the same guy returning, but that would still be bull. And lastly my problem is why would we damage ourselves? Start putting all this unwarranted pressure on ourselves why? It's a fine line in making things optimal for your players and make them accountable for EVERYTHING. I said this just stating my opinion, I don't want you to think I'm fussing at you or anything. I know me and you are cool and on the same page. I don't want other people to read it and get their feelings hurt. I totally agree man. After all the fussing in the other thread about it, this “article” states that he dropped “a pass” in front of them that day. A. Pass. No worries bud, we are on the same page with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbo 8,025 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Most football reporters take themselves way too seriously and love to interject themselves into the coverage. This isn't a journalism class. I don't need to hear about your ethics. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Is tossing a guy a hat really crossing some professional boundary? If a freaking hat would affect a guy’s objectivity I would question how objective he was to begin with. I mean, the guy is a sports beat writer, he’s not covering human rights violations in a country and the dictator is trying to wine and dine him. What a self-important douchebag. No wonder print is almost dead if this is the caliber of thought of the “journalists” out there 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
