    Face a mirror and say his name five times. You might find out.

    I was convinced from the thread title that ole Andy was the new editor at B/R.

    Maybe he's worked his way up to a featured columnist role
     
  3. whew! those are some tough standards. I hope BR finds enough qualified people to work for the site.

    What will journalism do without all those lists

    Hold on. So you get read, but don't get paid. This is brilliant. The worst thing is I have to deal with bleacher report stories that are off the reservation because some yahoo reads it online.

    If you are not going to pay the writer a professional agreed upon wage then the site loses credibility. I find the examiner and bleacher report websites on college football teams to be salacious.

    By the way, that has to be one of the worst written press releases I've ever seen from a news organization.

    They didn't pay anyone to write it.

    Some yokel BR reporter ripped quotes from a friend's exclusive story today, no attribution, no source, nothing. Classic stuff. I saw one of their execs speak at a panel, what a joke.

    this thread prompted me to go look at BR and as I'm reading an article that's got numerous spelling/grammar mistakes, I click the writer's bio to find an email address where one could email to request an interview with the guy

    and there's this. I swear I am not making this up:

    You thought that was funny. This came from the same bio. His phone is ringing off the hook.
