Charlie Weis is An ASS

Rugby just assured himself of a life in PR and not real journalism now.

And it's my understanding that the players Carroll quoted in the article that put Charlie Weis' dirty fruit of the looms in a tizzy aren't even students at that piece of shit university in the midwest. But the domers want to control players they even don't have control of. I hope that leprechaun punches Weis in his itty bitty nutsack.

 

No jealousy needed to dislike arrogance. And if journalism wasn't having an impact, why did you drag your ass here this late at night? Laugh at the skills needed all you want, but for someone so hard pressed to list his resume on this site I think the only time wasted was spent as you unsuccessfully tried to find a job in the field.

Jeff Carroll has some friends on this site, even if he doesn't post here much or at all anymore. He's good at what he does without trying to trace the lineage of Weis back to Knute Rockne like it's the forgotten chapter at the start of the book of Matthew. That's hard for any douchebag domer fan to swallow. See yourself for that proof.

 

Smokey, no, that wasn't him.

IR.... I have friends who have been there, done that, and continue to do that. While I haven't gone overseas, I've covered many of the people who do have the "impact" you feel is so important. In the last year I've had dozens more conversations and interviews with members of congress than I have with jocks. One press pass I haven't lost is the one the White House issued to me. I guess then that at least some of us here have made an impact of some sort.

On the other hand, there are a bunch of people in this world, including yourself obviously, who rabidly devour coverage of their favorite college teams. It causes enough of an impact that it brings people like you here to debate their points and qualifications. I'd be willing to wager that a good portion of newspaper subscriptions are driven by the sports section. Not entirely and that number will vary from paper to paper, but it's important enough for many people. If sports pages simply disappeared and no one paid any attention to the games, it'd be people like you screaming the loudest asking for more content and information. Failing to admit that at worst sports writers are a necessary evil is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. If it's that simplistic though it just means you're an idiot.

 

Less reporting means less publicity. Free publicity. That turns into less demand. Who is there to report that Local U. has Johnny Varsity threatening for a Heisman? Hell, who has the Heisman anymore? Who says that Local U. vs. Border Rival State is really number 1 vs. number 2? That's a whole hell of a lot of advertising that college and pro teams will need to buy to make up for it.
