Established and agreed, but why should we go over it a fifth time? I actually agree with Lynch ... it's time to drop this.

Good work shot. As usual you have made excellent contributions to the discussion.
 
Actually, I was hoping someone would be willing to do a "thread reset" and summarize what's gone on through 12 pages to this point. I'm behind in my Christmas cards and don't have time to wade through it all, yet I'd like to know where we're at here. I suppose I'd better at least go read the magazine piece in question, but it would help to know the main talking points here. Generally I stay away from "atta boy" and "we're not worthy" threads because we're all just swinging d---s here trying to make a living, after all. But the sheer length of this thread finally drew me in.

Thanks in advance. :)

We said you suck. :D
 
thread reset: jones is a sellout and boom likes the articles chris lynch hates but won't embrace them cuz they're in espn magazine.

and 10 pages of tripe vitriol.
 
I loved Tripe Vitriol when he was making movies for American International back in the day.
 
I loved it, but I'm a Jones gal.

ESPN has become such a multi-headed Gargantua that you can no longer say, "ESPN = Bad" or "ESPN = Good." Everything they do is now strictly case-by-case.

And it should be pointed out that ESPN is one of the few entities that is still paying sportswriters (well) to sportswrite. I think ESPN should be applauded for hiring Jones to do a piece and let him 'go nuts' with it in his unique voice.

The post you're referring to is my favorite post in the history of SportsJournalists.com. I thought I had it somewhere, and now I can't find it. You don't happen to have it, do you?
