Funkyalligator Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Excellent thing to notice there, I thought the article was kind of suspicious because I had never heard any of the sort of problems indicated here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I haven't heard any of that stuff either... I thought he disproved alot of those rumours like: The news should come as no surprise. Spurrier makes no bones about his desire to not work very hard, that football is still just a game. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Dollar Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I disagree. He's just a viable as any hack writer. What makes you think others have "creditable" info. Just because they work for a newspaper or network does not limit thier 'spin' on a lead. This guy that writes here does it for free, The guys that get paid HAVE to write something to catch the readers eye, therefore may be more apt to outright lie. They all suck (media) so it doesn't really matter What we see on the scoreboard by the end of the season is all you really need to know anyway. For entertainment purposes they do provide conversation, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make NO effort to try to understand his perspective a little deeper. How hard is it to say, "Yeah well the Redskins will win a few low-scoring games, but will never get much better until Spurrier adapts his gameplan to the run game and gets a better QB..." Cha-Ching!! Easy Money!! How can I be a sports reporter? Easiest job in the friggin' world! SIZE=4]DO SOME DAMN HOMEWORK, PEOPLE!!![/size] HTTR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINGATOR11 Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 Let me clear the air. I dislike most all of the media. However, when Chris Mortenson says that a league insider told him this or that, I truly believe someone said something. When some hack posting from his dorm room says a league insider says this or that, it is total Bull#$@#. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Guys, Guys....... The article is true..... but spun in a negative light. SS DOES let Marvin Lewis do alot more than most other assistant coaches. Read just about any article in which SS mentions Lewis and SS will say that He asked Marvin if they should run sprints after practice or something like that. The whole thing is negative only because of the perception..... HERE's how it is positive.... SS totally respects Marvin Lewis and is showing it by allowing him to organize practice in some ways. Who really cares who set up the organizition of practice, I could see SS asking him... Hey Marvin, do you have a practice plan put together from the Ravens?, lets take a look at it. Remember, College is different from the pros in one major point, the amount of time you are allowed to practice. A good Manager of people will seek out help and ideas where as a Micro Manager will try to have total say over everything..... a la Marty. I see truth as very positive. One last point...... the AOL email address is not bogus. AOL is a subscription service and there are quite a few sports writers who have email addresses ending in aol.com. They are paid by aol to write colums each week. If you don't believe me, go on AOL and go to the sports area and then the football area and read most of the articles and you will notice the email addresses end in aol.com.
