Maybe it is. Sounds like media members are butt hurt. Yes? No?
-
I think they are butt hurt about it. I don't see it as a big deal. They will get over it.
-
All media guys make stuff like this a big deal.
-
i wish Tim Beisel would fulfill his media obligations of being a good writer
-
I get where he is coming from. As a fan though, I waffle between wanting the inside scoop and then wanting to back off and just watch the games.

That hasn't been an obligation with the media in quite some time.
-
They all need to just STFU
-
lol @ a local reporter pretending to want to cover the cats.
write a story on a previously unknown recruit, or have the balls to ask a question not preapproved by the sid, then maybe the fans will give a crap if you can get some regurgitated cliches in time for your deadline.
-
love it when sports reporters act like what they do really matters in any way.
-
I used to get to read J Mart and now I'm stuck with Kellis. Good luck trying to get me to believe what reporters do doesn't matter.
-
if you take sports that seriously, you're a loser.
-
Translation:
I'm pissed I didn't get to interview the players b/c it's one of the perks of this job at a 3rd-rate newspaper I can brag about to my friends at Bullfrog's . So I'm going to write a story b!tching about it and use some BS about how much $$ the paper spends to send my ass down to stoolwater to make it look like I'm standing up for my "profession." And just in case someone calls me out for being a whiner I'm going to add a cop-out paragraph at the end to make it look like I'm writing as a voice of the fans.

CJ staff doesn't go to bullfrogs.

CJ = jayhawks
bullsfrogs = jayhawk hangout

Austin works for CJ. He's really good. I am not familiar with this guy.

Never been to bullfrogs. Who will go with me? I will :driving:
-
i don't think it's a big deal that the media didn't get their cliches, I do think it kind of shows what f'ing losers this team has turned into that they can run their f'ing mouths about conference play starting and how they're getting focused and how the big 12 is theirs to lose or whatever, then go out and play like pussies and then not want to talk about that.

The SID was just covering for Frank Wooldridge making the players off limits.
You know what would show that these guys are good reporters . . . if one of them would ask Frank Wooldridge at his next press conference just what the eff Dalonte Hill does to deserve $450K a year. But, they're all too chicken crap to ask a question like that.

Pretty sure Bisel was the CJ's KSU beat reporter before Meek.
-
its fans were the biggest losers of all.

they've completely failed to adapt to the changing nature of sports journalism (you can read that as if it were in quotes, if you like, chum1). game stories are obsolete. they prolly were really interesting for people to read about 30 years ago, when they heard a game on the radio (or didn't) and that was it. they're not interesting to read for a fan that watched the game, and if he wishes, can read the box, watch coach/player interviews, and game discusso on 15 different message boards within 30 minutes of the game.
they need to quit printing the same formulaic crap that no one reads and start thinking of how to provide interesting content. they could do it through provocative questions, but there are numerous other possibilities too - write on trim-style game experiences, write luke winn style hhbbiq for the masses nuggets, write bball nerd style stats breakdowns, write d scott style player worship pieces, write stalker style recruiting coverage, write hs coach on a bbs style coaching analysis.
anything really, just don't write the same boring crap that they do now.

trim-style game experiences
:love:
I'd probably pay for premium.
-
NOTHING worse than a "beat writer" story that reads like an AP blurb.

Most people's jobs don't really matter. There are very few essential vocations.

Wyatt: Next on the line, well, it says here we have from Freddy ASS-parilla's future employer, Dax's pool cleaning service, Sonofdaxjones. Son, what's your question for the coach?
