Longtimefan 08-10-2010, 09:41 AM I'm sure you'll just think I'm biased here, but your perception is not reality
When the word "media" is mentioned and the various perceptions of them are noted, oftentimes we as readers and listeners have a tendency to lump them all together, the plural becomes singular.
Today's media are not all lacking in responsibility. What we do find though [espically in the world of sports] is a highly opinionated group, reporting, not based on facts but strictly on their opinions. Opinion reporting always has to be taken with a grain of salt. One could be safe in characterizing much of it as discussion as opposed to the actual reporting of facts as they occur.
For people like myself, first ordained in the world of sports reporting prior to the Huntley - Brinkley years where there was 25 min on news and 5 min of sports on a daily basis, what goes on in that same world today could easily be described as shock and awe.

Giantone 08-10-2010, 01:22 PM There are plenty of "media twerps" who would not bow down to Haynesworth. If you think Mark Schlereth, who like it or not is media now, would bow down to Haynesworth, you're kidding yourself.
.
Agreed,I would put Warren Sapp in that group,althought he's not a favorit of mine ....this was very good.I for one think the 3-4 would better for AH and at the nose guard he'd be all pro every year.This was on the NFL network last night.

Pocket$ $traight 08-10-2010, 10:12 PM The Ravens won a Super Bowl by playing just not good but "Great Team Defense"......not cheap or dirty football .I suggest you go back and see how many QB's they really did knock out of a game .
Well since NFL Films made the point, I will let their research stand on its own.

Which point would that be ,the cheap shot one .....???Amuse me, I know of Rich Gannon in the playoffs...who else?
theJBexperience 08-11-2010, 10:04 PM Can anyone help me out? I want to make a custom Madden cover of the whole Haynesworth conditioning test debacle. I need to find a funny photo for the main image. I remember seeing one of Albert looking totally annoyed and disinterested while a coach helped him stretch. I know kind of a needle in a haystack deal, but there are plenty of photos of Albert looking uninspired. If anyone could help me find that one, I'd be so appreciative. The look on his face was classic.
Bob Stoops of Oklahoma fame on M & M this morning said that his lineman had to run the shuttle run and were required to make it in.....52 seconds.
AH...you should be ashamed

The trash can one could be perfect.

Haynesworth was the last player to arrive at Fedex today. I was watching CSN and he either showed up at 5:28 or 6:28. I didnt get home till 6, but i think it might have been a tape of ealier in the day (the ending number was definitely 28 though).
I hope players didnt have to be there by the half hour mark, cause he was just kind of strolling in. They talked about it a little bit in the pregame show, i dont think its a huge deal but there might be a little bit to it. Maybe Haynesworth is still trying to make a point?
