Thanks again and keep up the great work!

 

Wow, that shows the keen insight of a seventh-grade book report.

 

What's AP style on "fan boy geeks?"

 

one word, uppercased: Huckleberry

 

Chris Botta would have to dramatically improve his performance to even sniff incompetence.

Then again, as the media relations guy for both an NHL team and an arena football team, at least he's in a position of no consequence.

 

That's because you're a big wig. try being a small fish in the big pond with Botta. I've seen him shit all over good, hard-working people who had the temerity not to work for one of the major dailies or TV stations. Never mind, of course, that the Isles are so irrelevant they are covered by one newspaper and that Botta should be embracing ANY coverage, no matter how minor it is.

Of course, now he'll be painted as the hip happening PR guy b/c he's letting a few Isle fanboy loosers into the press box. I guess he wanted to make it clear he's no Jay Horwitz in training.

 

Damn, boy, that's harsh. He had something to say in there, and he said it.

 

Shotty:

True that, but it was weak.

Besides, I'm not a boy. I made 21. [/mannish boy]

 

I can't agree with you Diabeetus, if you are just doing a few sentences of feature writing on top of your gamer then you need to try harder. It shouldn't be a few sentences and then a bunch of play-by-play. Shit, I try to avoid play-by-play at will in my stories. It is boring to read.

 

Here is a report from a blogger who was accredited for the Arena Bowl: http://deadspin.com/sports/arena-bowl/the-report-from-the-arena-bowl-284345.php
