FYI ... Writers typically don't choose images to accompany articles.

Or headlines--at least that is my experience as a former sports writer just out of college.  I even took my own photos at times and did not get to choose them.

I stopped freelance writing years ago because of poo like this. It's incredibly infuriating to look like an idiot because of things out of your control. Images and headlines are basically completely out of your control. Hell, I've had articles published that were hardly recognizable from what was submitted after editors practically rewrote them to push the narrative of their choosing.

Me too--they cut leads that were referenced in the closing, rearranged paragraphs because they wanted them to fit the page better, and created headlines that were inaccurate and did not reflect the article's theme. 

Then they put your name in the byline and the paper goes out to hundreds of thousands of people who then attack your story---I interviewed David Robinson (Navy) when he was a sophomore that the nation had yet to know and it was not printed-it was about his growth since being recruited, his work ethic, etc.  An introductory piece that was focused on how a midshipman basketball player (when the height limit was 6' 6") was approaching 7 feet.  I touched on his play, but he was a bit clumsy (after growing 4 inches in less than 2 years).  They did not publish it--until 2 years later, when he was the #1 player in college basketball.  It made me sound like an idiot--like I was telling the world about this guy who plays basketball and he is pretty good--and his name is....Everyone knew him then.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
