Pete Thamel on Dustin Johnson vs. Pete Thamel on Tyrann Mathieu

I can't tell if your hard-on originates from love of Levin or hate of Thamel. Probably the latter.

 

Listen to the first podcast cited and let me know if you think it was fair. Then we can debate which was a bigger "hit job": a story about a college kid in national sports publication read by hundreds of thousands of people, or my post about a professional journalist on a message board read by a few hundred.

 

I could give a shit what Thamel did or didn't write or say. And you may or may not see that you come off as somebody with a personal axe to grind.

 

Sorry for trying to discuss journalism on a journalism message board. Why'd you open the thread if you "could give a shit what Thamel did or didn't write or say"? I don't know Thamel and don't have any personal axe to grind.

 

Forgive me but who is Josh Levin? It seems like a daunting task to listen to his 90 minute podcast to even understand his point. For the record I've been a big fan of thamels college sports work since his days at NYT.

 

What's a Josh Levin?

 

He talks into a voice recorder for the listening pleasure of those self-satisfied assholes you don't want to sit next to at a dinner party.
