Bretsky, you were on here even earlier than normal. Ending the day or beginning it?

Yes, I knew that I guess I just spelled it wrong. Isn't Berman referring to the time when the NFC central was terrible. While at the same time the Norris was terrible or am I missing it?Originally posted by cosimoto.NoMoMoss: Berman is a total Packer fan, and a fan of the NFC Norse as he calls it. Although that nickname isn’t all that flattering, Berman seems to be the one person who is legitimate.
NMM, you should be happy to learn, since you like Chris Berman (as do I), that he does not refer to the North Division as the "Norse" Division but the "Norris" Division as in NHL hockey. So the one blemish on his Packer love can now be safely removed. Enjoyed reading your analysis of ESPN.

NMM, you might be right, I don't know. I always thought it had to do with it being so cold in Wisc, Minn, Illi, and Mich. You know, ice hockey, ice football. But I could be wrong.

Great article NoMo, ESPN makes me want to eat my own vommit sometimes, yet I keep watching it. It's a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself. Sad.
The question of censoring what we put on the front page is a good one. The front page should show off some of our best articles. Personally, I think an article can be great whether it has the word fuck, shit, cock, bitch, clit, tits......well you get the point. Movies with such words win Acedemy Awards, and are accepted by the masses. The same goes for music. I understand that we want to increase our audience around here, but if a newcomer is offended easily, they won't last long anyway. To tell the truth, I didn't even notice the swear words in the article when I read it. The piece as a whole flowed together nicely. Could it have been done without the words FUCK and SHIT.............. probably. But I think we should walk a fine line on the front page. Keep it edgy, in our traditional Pack Rats style, without getting carried away talking about "Rusty Trombones" and "Dirty Sanchez's" etc etc. An occaisional curse is fine, as long as the piece is well written, and that curse is used to pound home a point. Thanks for listening,

Good article, No Mo. I remember when ESPN was actually seen as a journalistic entity. Them days are gone.
In terms of what language to allow or not, it depends on who you want as your audience. You might find some parents of kids who are maybe young teens would be offended if they saw Johnny reading some of the rants here. But if you don't care about that, then carry on. Personally, I think using too much cursing can take away from its effectiveness, yet guys like Mad and Mateo create tremendous personalities using it all the time. I can't imagine those guys without it, and I"m not at all offended."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Great article...
One intemperate thought, if you are going to compare the liberal media (ESPN) to conservative media types (FOX & Limbaugh), you may want to connect the dots better. Outside of the Limbaugh drug connection (if it were a liberal no one would have made a big deal about it), there is no comparing the two when it comes to reporting truth vs inuendo and conjecture."Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”

Kennedy is getting pelted right now for his struggles with booze. I am a liberal, but when ESPN hired Rush it was absolutely asking for it. They had to wait all of 2 hours for it to bite them in the ass. Guys like him and Bill O'Reilly fall harder because of there over the top personas. To me its the best when the uncompassionate come looking for compassion.

So are conservatives uncompassionate ? OR just anyone who gets sick of giving freebies to people that take no initiative to make things better on their own ? ...... Nevermind, this is no place for a discussion of this nature.Originally posted by No Mo MossComment
