This is important because Around the Horn is the marquee editorial voice of the largest sports media organization in the world.

 

When they lean, they lean hard. 

 

Regardless of what you think about the case, nicole holder, the judge, or 300 years of jurisprudence, now the weight of public opinion is leaning on Jerry Richardson.

 

 

Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.

Pardon the Interruption is also calling for it, suspension with pay.  Yet the thing I keep trying to grasp my head around is, they are essentially saying Hardy IS guilty.  They don't care about what was said in the trial or any of that.  They don't care that Hardy has a great chance of being found not guilty, I believe.  They are pretty much stating he's guilty.  I mean PTI even mentioned they read the transcripts, and they are horrified.  I'm asking myself 'Did they really read the transcripts?'.

Lol, what?

Hardy has appealed his case which your legally allowed to do. Goodell allegedly lied about the existence of damaging evidence. For the life of me I don't see how one has anything to do with the other.

 

You know for a fact that Goodell lied and he is not legally entitled a fair "hearing" like Hardy eh?

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
