[eclapt44]

Might be biggest case of homerism I've ever read. Hilarious

For all the people I know who grew up in Bristol and like to talk about how "tough" the town is, this made me chuckle. Want some cheese with that wine? The author of this piece should be embarrassed.

According to some of the Facebook replies beneath the article, it was apparently the Bristol players trying to start fights throughout the game, including one player kicking another in the back.

 

[Pencil Dick]

I don't think he used enough cliches.

FWIW, Bristol nearly went at it with their previous opponent, Williams Valley, last week in the first round of states.

Jack Henzes is held in pretty high regard up Scranton way.

Live about 20 minutes from Dunmore. They love him up there, seems to be a quality guy.

 

[Riptide]

Some random local fan asked me afterward what I thought of Dunmore.

“Dirtiest team I’ve seen in 10 years,” "Hey, asshole, I'm on deadline here," I said.

 

[Tom Petty]

obviously a guy who doesn't have an editor.

 

[HanSenSE]

I don't think he used enough cliches.

And that's what made it a bad story before quoting himself.

 

[Captain Obvious]

There's worse stuff on the Writing Workshop board. Why pick on some dip**** working for a rag?

 

[jr/shotglass]

Because it deserved it?

 

[expendable]

I don't think he used enough cliches.

And that's what made it a bad story before quoting himself.

I can honestly say I've never seen it done. I wonder if he recorded himself?

outstanding.

 

[Diego Marquez]

Thing lists a Twitter handle at the end of that ... ehem ... column. Did he have to take it down? The one that has his name is from Louisiana.

 

[HanSenSE]

Yep.

 

[exed44]

He ran a correction the next day, saying the reporter misquoted him. ;D

 

[Ace]

Everything else aside, he lost me by making a big deal about it being an unfair advantage to play at Dimsdale or whoever the home team was.

I would guess that in the vast majority of states, football playoff games before the finals are played at the site of one of the teams, not some neutral site.

So when you whine about that (more than once) you lose me and credibility.

 

[jr/shotglass]

When you reach state quarters, which this was, the site is neutral, but closer to the higher seed.

 

[Point of Order]

How anyone made it to the point where he quotes himself I'll never know. Unreadable. He lost me at ”ridiculously unfair home field advantage.”

 

[jr/shotglass]

Sort of can picture the guy stamping his foot in a tantrum, can't you?

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Just wait until he calls in his own scores to himself.
