A LITTLE TEDDY ARTICLE ON YAHOO SPORTS...

[Scott Campbell]

It's an interview.

It's a column.

He asked Ted one question. As in singular. And the included it within his opinion piece.

That's what I get for making a general statement without reading the piece in question. I just failed journalism 101.

He said "looked flaccid."

I guess this is just a sore subject for me these days with the reporting about what is going on down in Arizona. A severely mentally disturbed person committed a horrific crime. End of very sad story…….and look what we got out it from our crackerjack journalists.

It was a good read (The TT article) by the way.

"Midway through the ’10 campaign little Favre looked flaccid before a late rally pushed him into ...(censored)."

When I threw out a question about his team’s achievement.....

Then I asked Thompson a question I’d been curious about for awhile

looks like two questions to me. two as in plural.

Was he asked about the pics to Jen Sterger??

I thought they used velcro sneakers...

I'm working on it, just give me a little more time

I think the article was obvious that it was the writer's opinion. Silver has been on the Thompson bandwagon this whole time. I'd cut him some slack. I'm guessing Thompson gave him an interview for that reason.

I have my opinions about journalism and journalists and I think I've made them pretty clear in the past, but the question on my mind is, Ben Roethlisberger has a fiancee? Someone agreed to marry that piece of shit?

Yes. Mr. Hanky's daughter.

I didn't like how he said something like Ted T woudln't come out and gloat in front of everyone but he did take me aside. As he went on, Ted never did gloat, not even a little, but right from teh start, the impression was that Ted did a little gloating. I didn't like that.

But it's no different than McGinn. That's what good writers do now-a-days. They create interest be it reality or not.

If the Yahoo Sports process is typical, the editor most likely wrote the headline - not the columnist.

I can't believe you wrote that. McGinn does full interviews. He routinely interviews Thompson after games and directly quotes him. McGinn writes separate opinion pieces from his reporting and the difference between the two types of articles is obvious.
