Jeff Pearlman finds Sports by Brooks, scraps article

Pearlman can't help himself.

He reminds me of the Jude Law character in the movie Closer.

 

Tweet deleted.

 

The previous two posts sum up Pearlman.

 

What was he thinking?

 

People tweeting and deleting will never cease being hilarious. Yes, no one took a screen shot, just erase it, no one will ever know what was tweeted.

 

Can somebody post the paragraph he deleted?

 

I didn't screenshot it fast enough but read it and began Googling Burbank apartments with the attributes he described.

What a fuckin asshat. Jeff Pearlman is the perfect amalgamation of the best and worst aspects of sportswriters. Dogged reporter, doesn't necessarily write about unique subjects, and steps on his own dick with consistency and force.

 

I can't find the screenshot and couldn't care less about the details of the apartment door.

Somebody bottom line this for me-- What the sitch with SBB? Is he mentally ill? Destitute? Sex-change operation? Addict? What ???

 

It's not about the details of the door. It's other tell-tale descriptions about an apartment complex that shouldn't be too hard to find now.

Brooks wants to be left alone, or might be crazy, or both. But Jeff has most certainly put people in motion to go fuck with Brooks.

 

Texas Monthly did the same damn thing a few years ago when writing about an artist in Waco whose work has been portrayed on Hermes scarves. He doesn't like to be bothered, but the story could lead someone right to his house. (Granted, if you know your way around the county tax assessor website, you can find the guy's address, or the address of any property owner, but still...)

So we can eliminate sex-change operation and addict?
