mistertim Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 SpacePenguin.com: NFL.com reporter needs to work on writing skillsSee, I made a valid point...something this article is missing. It only took one sentence. This article reads like a senior citizen scrapbooked some quotes from the press conference, then just rambled on. It's almost comedic, even the title is contradictory lol... The article reminds me of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacoah Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Did she even touch on the "dose of reality" thing she mentioned in the title of the article? If she did, I completely missed it. This article and what the writer was trying to convey to her audience was incongruously written and thoroughly enigmatic. WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphil006 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Don Banks suggested the same sort of thing in a recent article:http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/don_banks/05/21/robert-griffin-redskins/index.html Is this an inside meme that's going around among reporters or something? It literally takes 5 seconds to do a google image search for Griffin and see pictures of him wearing a glove when playing at Baylor. The profession that has the lowest average SAT scores is....

TaylorPickSix Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Is this how she justifies her job and her Journalism degree?! Good grief. This woman makes JLC look like a half decent reporter, and that in and of itself is no small feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think she's in love with him and wants to have his babies. Yes...but who doesn't! If a guy has sex with RGIII it doesn't make him gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), it makes him more of a MAN! Like in Ancient Greece.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 @ all the responses lol... For what it's worth, I'm assuming that: - The article was supposed to be a light, slightly funny piece.. - The title makes it seem like it's gonna be a serious piece... - The "dose of reality" was probably supposed to be hazing of some sort or another...

If that were the case, given how all over the place the article is, I would honestly be curious to know what she would have used as a title.

zCommander Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 She makes a slick comment about how he's really wearing the glove to help his grip as he transitions to under the center snaps, but he wore the same glove in college. It wouldn't have been hard to research that. Weak article. He idolized Michael Jackson growing up and that is why he said he wears the glove on his left hand. From the picture of the writer it looks like she might be just some beauty over brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Just as an aside "Robert Griffin" is the number one searched "Robert" on Google beating out such Roberts as Downey Jr and Pattinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
