BSR Toxicity

[CochiseCowbell]

The past week has been pretty damn good for the "dead period" of sports. The only show that didn't mention the supposed newly "toxic" rivalry was Bulldog Countdown that I can recall. The Boneyard, B&B Show, Skydawgs, & Double Coverage all shared their differing takes. I don't recall BW addressing the issue specifically like the others did, though he touched on it in his CL McD's rant.

Yes, I know this wasn't by accident. Just wanted to give credit where it's due. Keep up the good work, General.

ETA : I'm on the fence on putting Twitter on my phone. That's why I make these type of comments here.

I'm a Twitter hold out. I have drawn a line. Whores wouldn't let me alone so I had to quit FB. So this is my sole internet action.

Count yourselves lucky Sixpack.

You're missing out on Twitter. It's by far the best place to get news. You can customize Twitter for what you wanna see based on who you follow.

I'm with you, Bone. Old girlfriends on the rebound, endless selfies and pictures of meals my "friends" were eating killed it for me. 17 social media. My daughter says I'm anti-social. I say social media is a crutch for losers who don't know how to be social. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle so 17 it will post this mini-rant on a sports board.

Twitter is great for following the whitetail rut. I've gotten to the point of not hunting much until the pros I follow start killing deer. I did find out that Twitter is full of porn in an unfortunate way. I typed in #BBD for pictures of "big buck down." I thought it was a good way to search for more hunters and such. The problem is that BBD on Twitter also stands for something that made me feel unreasonably inferior as a man.

I fancy myself a talker with decent content/experience . That runs contrary to the Twitter and FB.

I don't begrudge those who enjoy it. I just don't do.

And old girlfriends will find you and litter your page*

Well you know what they say
More wood for the fires, loud neighborsFlashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city

Did you mean black cocks?

Did you mean black cocks?

It was a horrifying experience

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Whoa. Sounds like my decision is a sound one.

Then again I do kind of hate I missed out on Tinder. It still blows me away that's how kids get it in these days. Lucky little bastards.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I have my Twitter set up basically for news and sports. Not much else on my feed.

 

[121Josey]

It doesn't get much more toxic than Head-2-Head, unless you count those State fans who call Finebam and Bo Bounds to convince us that Merlin is a better coach than Nick Saban.**

TaxiCity? yeah, that's Oxford.

BW hit the subject today and hit it hard on Keep it 100. Good job BW. The only issue I have with BW's take is that he seems to be willing to allow incompetence as a possible reason for why the CL is the way it is in its sports reporting. That take is just blatantly incorrect. I'll put it this way, if there is a sports referee that continually blows calls but blows them in both directions then that referee is INCOMPETENT. However, if I have a referee that continually blows calls but they are ALWAYS against one team and not the other then that referee is NOT incompetent, he is BIASED. There is a big difference in the two given that in one case you just have someone that is clueless whereas in the latter case you have someone with a specific agenda. There is bias with the current CL sports reporting rather than incompetence. If not, you would get slanted reporting or "mistakes" in MSU's direction or favor from time to time but that never happens.

Emotional wreck ***** is some of the best you can get. Just make sure you give her a burner number.

 

[121Josey]

If the league keeps assigning the biased referee to games, is that bias or incompetence? In other words, by allowing a biased, incompetent, bad excuse for a "columnist" to keep writing biased pieces (and showing his incompetence in sports and journalism), it makes everyone there incompetent. That includes Boner, who rips State on social issues but allows State to get railroaded by his employer on athletic issues. It's incompetence when they prefer not to take MSU fans' money because of poor journalism in sports.

Rosebowl will have to send the CLowns a Thank You card for helping make him the most trusted source in Mississippi collegiate athletics.

I don't see how anyone could come to the conclusion the CL's coverage of UM and MSU is due to incompetence. They're clearly not the brightest reporters in the world, but there is a big difference in the way they cover the two schools.

Ok, then why the difference in coverage? What does it benefit them to trash State? Professionally? Economically?

 

[patdog]

Not sure why the difference (like I said, they're not especially bright). But there can't be any question that it's intentional, and not just due to incompetence.

The true art is to make the bias undetectable to the untrained eye. Before February there were people on this board that would tell you that the CLowns were not biased. But since TUNS was popped with the NOA, they have no shame in exposing their bias.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Recently they aren't even attempting to hide it. In my opinion they damn near flaunt it.

Yes he did. That was a good show. Shrek almost came unhinged. That may be when he's at his best.

I don't know but Riley Blevins gave all of these other sports reporters over there a lesson on what happens to you at that rag if you report anything negative on the Bears.

I don't think the bias is the fact they want to "trash state," I think it's more the fact they aren't afraid of us and aren't afraid to dig up dirt. OM, on the other hand, is nothing more than a fan page and that's all HK knows (and OM expects the CL to run their beat that way). They are afraid to challenge OM and piss them off.

Their fans also react to criticism differently than ours do. While we take things personally, our fan base seems to be more grounded and objective (for the most part). If Mullen and Co. were caught up in what they are, we'd demand blood and heads would already be rolling. We would also be quite pissed at Scott for lying to us and the media. Theirs believes their beloved Rebs and coaches can do no wrong. Freeze went as far as to say their 2013 class was "God's favor" and their fans ate that up. That's why, I think, we are seeing so much backlash from their fans over the investigation and why the CL won't report on it.

Outside of that, HK hasn't had to see the rivalry from our side, nor does he seem to care to want to see it from our side. There's basically no desire or real push to report on an even playing field and that makes it bias.

Maybe Germans but I didn't find it if it has been mentioned. The only thing I can think of from the State side is the 17 TSUN baseball unis that happened the last year or so. Of course, State handled it appropriately after they found out. But it's a small ledge for OM to hold onto. Certainly doesn't balance it out.
