No, you CAN'T root in the damn press box

Another question - since players in college are getting paid now, its ok to criticize them right? Since they are more or less professionals? Wasn't that the argument against criticizing college players before, because they were "amateurs?"

Looking at the posts from that Pizza_ESQ person, that individual is equal parts troll and jackass. There are legit critiques, but they're not coming from him.

She doesn't understand apostrophes either.

Never heard that argument before.

I think the argument is "These kids are 19 and 20 -- maybe don't be an asshole."

They're "kids" when they get in trouble for grades, theft, rape, assault, public intox or having a terrible game, and the coach and ballwashing fanbois want to yell at anyone being "negative."

They're "young men" when they win a game, come back to win, play hard or otherwise need to be praised by the coach and fanbois.

Is 32k followers considered "good" on X (formerly Twitter)? I know a lot of local news types that seem more like internet personalities/influencers since their feeds seem more clogged with selfies than stories they are working on. I'm sure fans don't mind, and if they watch, they watch. I just wouldn't expect much journalism from a TV sports person anyway. No offense - there just isn't much time on a broadcast to do anything indepth.

32k is fairly substantial for Twitter for someone in that role.

I've found once a person cracks 10k, that usually means they have some follows that are "out-of-market". Most likely a bunch of selfies in tight clothing unless they're a source of scoops or they constantly break relevant stories.

Romi deserves a ton of criticism for being an unabashed homer who is pulling for the teams in the local market. But there's no need to be misogynistic in doing so.

If people were going to stop being misogynistic, this thread and the Charissa Thompson thread would be one-third their current sizes.

Suffices when they are 39 and 40 too, but of course that never stops anyone.

Heard once a man, 40, could take it. I think a coach said that.

She's punted the Buffs to the curb. Jumping onto the Broncos bandwagon.

Romi Bean is destined to become a star. She knows how to play the game circa 2023 far better than most.
