If there is one thing that journalists will flip their crap over it is stuff about other journalists and journalism.

Was thinking this so much while at the game last night reading journo tweet after tweet and not reading the links.

I enjoyed the a&m story more. This story was pretty good, too, though.

thank you for being on butthurt patrol this morning.  when someone is butthurt about journo butthurt it is exactly like when a journo inserts themselves into the story they're writing.  it's unethical, basically.

It was an interesting story when it was about an ESPN writer scamming people out of thousands of dollars. It isn't an interesting story when it's just some attention whore doing twitter attention whoring.

Indeed.  So some chick and a dude scammed some other dudes out of money and a neat NBA Meme facebook page, then snuck into ESPN for a month or so before being found out ant getting the boot?  Not really a big deal in the age of fast moving information. 

Only interesting thing to me is the dudes being dumb enough to give her money and the guy who gave up his website.  I mean it is basically like falling for a Nigerian Prince scam.

It is kinda of interesting. It was unique. I mean, I read the story.  Big deal though? Nah, it seems pretty inconsequential to me.

Much ado about nothing if you ask me.
