Oh jesus. Poor young Jacob. Bet he didn't stay away from Bucknuts when he was the sports editor at The Lantern, dreaming of fulfilling his destiny of being a college football journalist.
Laughed out loud. Well done. We missed you. edit: Guys like Sirk and Doran have had usernames on here since the late 90s and early 2000s. You know, probably before that kid was born.
Same old. Morgan Hughes is a deity, a group of fans who've got a 25 year perspective on the team should be avoided. I just love so-called journalists who intentionally, purposely avoid points of view which might be different from the company line.Intellectual curiosity? Sorry, no time for that. Not when there are free donuts and cold cuts at a half assed presser someplace. The guy isn't a journalist, he's a stenographer; the team gives him his story, pats him on the head and he types it up and then spends the rest of his time dreaming about the day when, having put in his time covering this cockamamie soccer shit, he can get a job being a stenographer for a much bigger and better team someplace. And they just can't figure out why nobody buys newspapers or gives the writers respect any more. He's right about one thing though: he probably should stay away from BigSoccer, a place where, when you're an douchecanoe, they call you a douchecanoe. He needs to stick to Reddit and Twitter, where he can get his knob gobbled by fanbois without having to hear opinions that are not pre-approved at One Black & Gold.
Whether he's a journalist or not, by his own admission he's never watched the sport outside of the World Cup.
If they detect you're outside their service area, they would certainly be justified in not accepting bets from you. Not returning your money is another kettle of fish. Sounds like conversion.
Just like anywhere on the internet, there's a lot of noise and garbage to wade through (I admittedly contribute to that here and elsewhere) to get to anything of truth or value. But the fact is that the biggest news that's happened to this team in the recent times was revealed here first and not by the guy whose job it is to report crew news.
Take a second and look at PokerStar's history. If anyone deposits anything there, they don't deserve their money back.
Of course not. How would he know of the realist fan and inside man since he was warned to stay away from this wasteland? Which makes me wonder: Who warned him? Edit: I think @Dr.Fever knows who... But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware. Beware.
His interview no doubt went something like this - So, Mr. Meyers. You say that you know nothing about the sport, the team or this team's community? So, you will type only what we tell you to print then? Excellent. You're hired. Oh, and you are 18 aren't you? Gannett
I know that the ESPN MLS Power Rankings thing doesnt mean much and it means even less before a single game has been played, but FWIW the first one of the season has the Crew at #8. If nothing else it demonstrates that the optimism around here isn't just fanboy exuberance. Some outside observers feel the same way https://www.espn.com/soccer/major-l...toplafc-no-2-inter-miami-has-a-long-way-to-go
