Fox Sports cuts web writing staff

Or Philadelphia.

 

FIFY [/crossthread]

 

love the Simpsons. But that line has no context for what we were discussing. It is ironic and funny to think that YankeeDink was Googling, "Out of touch + funny" though.

 

Looked specifically for that meme. It's been shared here before.

"Out of touch" might not be the issue, but you have a "the problem is with all of them" attitude. You know how that goes. The problem might be with you.

 

Or Atlanta.

Maybe Katie can come on this thread to explain her absence.

 

What's the problem exactly? I was making zero problems with anyone. You're the asshat who called people out directly in a conversation that had nothing to do with them, some conversation that had to do with Dick and why he was suspended. If I cared more, I'd research the thread, but I don't care. My reply to you got erased by the moderators, but the sentiment stands: GFY.

I'm not here to make friends or kiss anyone's ass in the hopes they will like a damn thing I say. I'm not politically correct and I don't apologize for speaking what I see as the truth.

Your problem is you seem to have no outlets other than this board. Have you ever tried posting at nonsportsjournalists.com?

 

Not siding with CD's initial assessment, but I am amused by Yankee Fan protecting us all from what he feels is misogyny.

 

You can't, but Oliver and Trevor Noah rip nightly on America anyway.

Point is, you can craft a show that's not centered on fandom of any team. That might mean sacrificing some part of one's identity to do so, and I know millennials are never supposed to betray any part of their true selves, but so the TV rat race can go.

 

I'm amused that said poster actively hate posts and hate reads journalism yet spends considerable online time on a journalism site.

 

I never got the Katie Nolan hype. She felt like someone foisted on America as HEY LOOK A GOOD-LOOKING CHICK LIKES SPORTS AND HAS OPINIONS ABOUT THEM HOLY FUCK WE FOUND BIGFOOT. But that's what you get from Fox. You don't have to look hard these days to find good-looking chicks who like sports and have opinions about them (I married one). She was fine, but I never got the idea there was anything more than what she offered. And Alma nails her ability to bat at low-hanging fruit. Pretty easy to hate Jerry Jones and sound like an aggravated Boston sports fan.

 

Agreed, but, with some liberals, it - and by "it" I mean the interpretation of words in general, comedy or otherwise - goes further. If you are the wrong person, an uncool person, a person who doesn't have all the right opinions, the wrong words don't merely make it wrong or unfortunate, it makes you immoral - hell, amoral. It makes you a bad person. Potentially irredeemable. Shun worthy. Words are held in such high regard - words matter so much - that the wrong message can come define the wrong person in total.

The buried message underneath the shows of Bee and Oliver and Trevor Noah - all playing out of the Jon Stewart playbook - is Fuck you, asshole. It's funny at times, but you never lose sight of it being something else. It's contempt.

And I write that as someone who doesn't necessarily prefer the Fallon humor.

 

Hate reads?
