The Steig kind of, sort of apologizes (not really) http://www.observer-reporter.com/or/steigstory/04-17-2011-steigerwald-column quote:I had my audience in mind, and was saying that the incident in Los Angeles was an example of the out-of-control behavior that I had been writing and talking about for years. I never dreamed anybody who knew Brian Stow would read those words, and they wouldn't have if it hadn't gone viral. It's our fault for linking to it!

Hahahaha "it really is a world-wide web." Christ that poo poo makes me angry but I'm not going to bother commenting because even if he responded somehow (he won't) it would just make me more angry and depressed and I would be reduced to making more limpdicked tweetjokes about him.

Jesus it's like he thinks someone overheard him saying poo poo in a bar and then spread it around. Not that he wrote something clumsy at best and reprehensible at worst in a column published both in print and online.

Dr_Strangelove posted:ya know we need a computerweb just for real people like we got here in P-A The most ridiculous thing is that if there's anywhere where fans are likely to consider themselves part of the team and act like morons, it's Pittsburgh. Actually, I can almost understand a thought process of "Steelers fans are retarded and think they're more important than they are -> I should write a column telling them to quit -> Oh hey, some guy got put into a coma in LA, this'll scare 'em straight!"

Bob Smizik hates the Piratesquote:Of all the controversial trades made by Pirates general manager Neal Huntington, perhaps none raised the passion level of fans as much as the one that sent Nate McLouth to Atlanta. That probably was because fans, quite correctly, saw McLouth as a young, building block of the future and not a soon-to-be free agent, who would cost too much to keep. That Sinha guy is to blame for some of this, but he's not getting paid to write, so the guy who is can be blamed for repeating his terrible opinion. e: For humor purposes: Nate McLouth .232/.295/.391, Charlie Morton 2-0, 1 CG, 1.64 ERA (  I know it's luck shut up), and Jeff Locke (one of the team's top pitching prospects) with 1.93 ERA, 9.6 K/9, 1.9 BB/9 in AA.

Smizek has always been a tool, his feud with Mark Madden is pretty funny too. Although I guess to be fair he's just a bad writer, not a bad person like Steigerwald.

Kinda surprised that Bill Barnwell is joining the new Bill Simmons site, he doesn't really fit the mold of what they've been going for so far. I could see him working as sort of a generic guy to write a ton of copy. That's not saying he's at all bad, but not someone you would pick for an all-star lineup. If any one from FO was ever going to get snapped up by the mainstream media you would think it'd be Tanier.

If he just writes for their football blog, he's likely a freelancer rather than a full-time employee. I'm sure it pays OK, but that's just supplementary income.

Maybe it's just because the only Reilly I've ever read is from his last few years at the back of SI, but I can't imagine that guy writing anything that isn't a festival of hacky bullshit on one of three topics: About the second thing- I think I might have already posted this but he literally called this kid my brothers played hockey with an rear end in a top hat for playing field hockey in Massachusetts a while back when the kid was 15. No highlight that the kid was from South Africa and was a recent immigrant and that field hockey was pretty big in his family. Also this kid was probably the politest kid ever and was super nice to everyone. Reilly also called his parents assholes. In sum, Reilly is a big bitch. Aye Doc posted:the Steigerwald who does Penguins games isn't John, thankfully. his name is Paul!

Mornacale posted:Why did he call them all assholes? morestuff posted:Here's the context. Yeah my bad I should have made the context clear. He was a pretty decent sized kid playing field hockey with girls. Still, it was lazy, lazy journalism to just point out how guys were playing field hockey and then say that there parents should get hit in the nuts, ignoring all of the issues as to why Brad played field hockey. He also played ice hockey and broke the glass with a slap shot during practice once so I'm not sure I would want to play field hockey against him either but I wouldn't call a fifteen year old kid out over it.

Rick Reilly posted:Boys are a problem that's whittling away at the fabric of field hockey in Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania. "Playing with boys is awful!" one girl wrote on an Internet field hockey site. "When you win, people think it's only because of the boys on your team. It's so defeating." I'm not a chauvinist in any sense of the word but I don't think it's unreasonable for some guys to want to play field hockey and I don't see anything in that article that leads me to believe otherwise. The question I have to ask myself is, "is letting men play in any way adversely affecting the opportunity being afforded to women?" I don't really see how. The risk of physical injury, to me, seems really overstated in order to lend some credence to the article's lovely thesis, that in America, field hockey is a "girl's game". Gender norms, love those in the context of civil rights litigation... What is this article even getting at, this is a basic equal opportunity issue and one that's been apparently been litigated repeatedly in their favor already, why am I supposed to think that they're assholes? Because some participants are displeased simply because it affects the balance of the game? Because the guys aren't adhering to a traditional American gender norm? gently caress man, I agree that it's not the most constitutionally pressing issue, but that doesn't mean that the affected party doesn't deserve equal access swizz fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Apr 22, 2011 |

Again, the main thing that people were upset about at the time was that it was such a ridiculous thing to say about Brad because anyone who knew the kid knew that he is literally polite and nice to a ridiculously comic degree even. It's like calling Stan Musial a bad person or a raci-oh gently caress
