Is Jeff Kent really that stupid?

Mizzou's been repeating it for years, on several websites, with no actual anecdotes or proof to back it up.

So it must be true. Because he keeps saying it.

 

For those of us who don't know, please tell us the story that Mizzou has been spouting.

 

Mizz had him on his roto team the year he pulled his motorcycle hijinks in Arizona, and he never got over it.

 

thanks for the update.

 

Wow, that's an odd reason to hate someone. Cause of Fantasy sports

 

There is no story, he just keeps saying it. Just one sentence throwdowns that we're just supposed to take because of a semblance of believability (everyone knows Kent is a tool), the idea that Mizzou is in the industry (he's worked the 2002 Western Conference Finals!), and repetition, repetition, repetition.

 

mizzou was agreeing with someone else's view. go back and read the thread again, squirt.

 

I see that Jeff didn't get his wife a card. Does he still take her on road trips?

And, as for Vin not knowing Derek Lowe, I'm not sure that Derek has gotten around to knowing the male broadcasters there yet.

 

As a fly-over state kind of gal, never read this Simer guy until now. Wow, he uses "I" and talks about himself a lot in his columns. (Though it appears I have stated the obvious.)

 

Jeff Kent isn't so bad and while he's a little different and opinionated, he's far from stupid. He's been playing along with Simers for a couple years now. Plus he detests BLOGGERS! as much as anyone on SportsJournalists.com. Shouldn't he get some points for that alone?


He started dusting off his shoulders as if brushing away dandruff, while saying, "bloggers," spitting out the word like it was some kind of infectious disease. The way things are going in the communications business, incurable might be a better word.

 

I'm not a fan of Simers, but he was a hell of a beat writer and he better serves readers covering the NFL in some day-to-day capacity than this childish brand of antagonism.
