Bleacher Report question

Recommended Posts

Bleacher report is nothing but f**king homer bloggers individually assigned to a team tasked with writing poo that stirs the pot and pisses non-homers off. I avoid any and everything that is posted to that site.

Do you also avoid ESPN? Raleigh News and Observer? Charlotte Observer?

Most sports "writers" or publications stem from a person passionate about sports. Most people passionate about sports have a favorite or two. True objectivity in sports reporting is relatively unheard of, faked at best, and impossible to teach or reform.

I don't particularly care for the BR but the publishers have done a good job of presentation and providing current coverage (the hard parts). They likely have all the access they would ever want as fans and IMO have earned the right to bash whomever they wish at the risk of losing that access or the readership that commands it among the area teams.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
