SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 What’s Twitter? Also. Did I see someone blame Rodak for the screen graphic ? Or did Rodak and the scroll both say Rosen in Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co_springs_billsfan Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I had my neighbor Patriots* "fan" ask me today if the Bills made any good trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 good editing in journalism is dead. they just want to get something up on the feed. they don't care if its accurate. Not just ESPN, its WaPo, NYT, almost any online news source ... constantly using incorrect grammar, misspelling words, not matching graphics to text, etc. garbage. and no, I didn't bother editing the above, why should I? the "pros" don't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bills expressed concern about ESPN's "Josh" accuracy. Understand the ESPN accuracy bit. Did ESPN post a pic of Josh Rosen instead of Josh Allen under a Bills tagline or something? 1 hour ago, Foxx said: you seriously don't get the context? getting ESPN or not should have nothing to do with understanding here. can i merge your response with your original post?????

The jpg you attempted to embed shows to me as: DdAlyMYUwAAuXFg.jpg Ditto the link in 26CB's OP. Since there aren't any pictures or words, there aren't any red underlined words. I can see I need to check out this board using a different operating system to see if an actual picture with self explanatory humor would come through. Edit: done. See it now. One does wonder why a helpful sentence like "ESPN showed a pic of Josh Allen over a Bills logo, with banner text proclaiming 'Josh Rosen practices at Bills Minicamp" would have been beyond the abilities of you gents to craft.

Well, you also didn't explain that you couldn't see the photo until later. This is what we call a misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do folks feel that everything that would make a Message group unpleasant or unreadable has to be spelled out in a rule somewhere or physically precluded? In case other people have bright ideas to emulate you, I'll put it here: don't change part of your post, especially the snarky parts, to small fonts that people have trouble reading, especially on mobile devices with small screens. It's not good practice. It doesn't make the newsgroup a more pleasant or readable place. Good practice is not limited by the outer bounds of what the newsgroup software will allow. You've been messaged and asked politely not to do that, don't do that again. If you have a private beef with me, PM is the place for that. If that's not enough for you, go take it up with SDS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, in all honesty, I have no idea who objected to that. I was not keeping track. A couple people who went postal about it (went on and on and on and on) were banned, but by SDS not by me, and not for that reason as I understand it- certainly not for just objecting! Seriously, if I carried all that stuff around with me and kept track of who objected or what all, I 1) would indeed be the wrong person for the job 2) prolly wouldn't be able to walk by now, with that heavy a load Peace out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
