Tolstoy Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 If this doesn't tell you that the sports media–strike that, much of media–is just finger-in-the wind regurgitation of conventional opinion, I don't know what will. It is a discredit to the really good reporters out there who are trying to bring truth to light: http://www.realclearlife.com/sports/no-7-overall-pick-josh-allen-looking-like-first-bust-of-this-years-draft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Allen Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 This was lazy writing (I won't use the word 'reporting') from someone who did nothing but look at the box score. I'm dumber for having read it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLawless Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I could care less about the website, as I have never heard of it. I was referring to the needless insult to those with views that might not align with yours. No need for that. Me putting you on ignore doesn't alleviate any others who you might have insulted. Not going to put you on ignore as I imagine we have some things in common regarding the Bills, I guess I just don't see the point of political insults on this particular forum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 LOL. The favorite pastime of TSW posters. Find a garbage website engaging in dubious reporting, consume what they are dishing out, then B word about it while promoting said garbage website in the process.

HOUSE Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 You guys should be suspicious of labeling a QB a bust when Allen had 2 good games and 1 bad. Keep in mind many sports writers labeled him a bust well before he came to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The nice (?) thing about the internet is that any yahoo can not only play at Hyde Park Speakers' Corner, but they can monetize it as well. Never has 'caveat emptor' been truer. Perhaps it might be better stated as 'clickyat emptor'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinxedBill1 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Most sports media is a take on opinion and identity politics. I've lost interest and so has many others. I miss the days where the top story was a feat of strength or unbelievable win rather than someone kneeling or opinion on politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker i think you might be the wingnut- RCP is mainly just takes others info and puts it together and tries to put well though out pieces on their page. They are slightly conservative but i am wondering what you called a middle of the road website? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They alternate left-right opinion article links on their front page, and post the details of every available political poll (as well as average them together) including when they were taken and who funded the poll.
