Can't click link. Did you leave something off?

Also, not positive I wanted to click anyway.

 

[The Peeper]

Its Godfrey, why would you want to see it

 

[tatedog]

Can't wait for his hard hitting piece on who is more uncaring about Ole Miss... Godfrey vs Notafan

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Throw in Yancy, that Acey dude and Ben Garrett. Make it a sports doc

The Douche Battle Royale!

 

[CochiseCowbell]

And the guy that writes the bedtime stories.

Trying again. If I had to guess the premise of this is that everyone cheats and therefore State and Ole Miss are essentially the same with regards to culpability. But he's not a fan.

 

[patdog]

Everybody does cheat. Just like everybody speeds on the Interstate. But there's a big difference between going 75 and going 120.

 

[dawgstudent]

So in the trailer - he has Alex McDaniel who is an OM grad. Steven Godfrey who is an OM grad. And James Carville puts out some riveting info that every school cheats.

Steven never has been and never will be taken seriously in the sports journalism world. He’s a legend in his own mind. He sees himself as a Wright Thompson type. He’s gotten where he is purely off of who he knew. Not talent.

I can't wait for the followup movie..."Water is Wet".

 

[dawgstudent]

I just can't take someone seriously that won't admit he was lied to by OM officials about the initial accusations that they were mostly on Nutt. He's been toting the water ever since then on that subject.

 

[Shmuley]

Doing 120, while side-swiping the Governor's SUV and flipping him off.

 

[Faustdog]

Yep.

Since the school admitted to not being truthful in putting the blame on Nutt just before signing day 2016, every single journalist continuing to tote the Rebel water just happens to be an Ole Miss grad.

But Godfrey, McReady, and McDaniel aren’t fans of course. They’re just the only ones who know the truth.

It’s a YouTube video of Ole Miss fans whining about getting caught cheating. Godfrey just can’t stand being shown up by Steve.

Never has been and never will be now. He probably wasn't a great bet to make it, but I think the difficulty in making it as a journalist/opinionist/writer (or whatever he is classified as) has thinned the competition, so had he not gone all-in on carrying water for Ole Miss, he would have had a chance.

 

[Todd4State]

If this is supposed to make me feel sorry for them- it won't.

 

[FlotownDawg]

So is this basically like a filmed version of Godfrey's story on the bagman, also known as the Ole Miss boosters who bragged to him about how much they can get away with paying players?

He must not have known very influential people. The guy that cleans my septic system spews less **** than this dingleberry.

 

[aTotal360]

If you blur their face and change their voice, that makes them "influential".

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Terrible analogy. You know they only drive 18

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I like Alex (and her writing) a lot. The thing that strikes me about Steven Godfrey's pieces on this topic though is that he's been way too tediously repetitive.

I expect nothing but a video warmed-over rehash of what he's written about previously.

Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Cheating, NCAA, blah blah blah blah blah.

If he wants to garner some attention for his journalism, go into a different rivalry that has similarities.

[Dawgzilla]

Does Godfrey really deny being a fan, or does he just claim that his fandom does not effect his objectivity?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If MSU cheats.... we really suck at cheating.

 

[dawgstudent]

I agree. Him being an OM grad makes him lose credibility.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Every school has boosters cheating.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Eh. His alumni status is of little concern to me. An elephant in the room is his perceived fandom affecting his credibility ironically much like Our Friend Rose Bowl. The difference between the Two Steves though is that Rose Bowl has at the moment earned more respect from the national sports media than has Godfrey.

 

[dawgstudent]

IF you are going to write about the Ole Miss/State rivalry - you should understand that people are going to be skeptical. I take what Steve wrote as an MSU lean. Godfrey is trying to do portray this from an unbiased viewpoint which is impossible considering his alma mater and his past writings. Maybe it's a "me" thing but I can't get past that.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Not a you thing at all. It seems that many of them try to proclaim "they are not fans" and are entirely impartial and objective, which is far from the truth. Robertson proudly supports State. It's literally written on his hand.

 

[dawgstudent]

Good point. Just admit you are a fan and then say - I am going to write this with as much unbias as possible. I would actually take you somewhat seriously.

But like you said - they try so hard to be not a fan that it makes me think they are even more a fan. Especially when they write snarky **** about State.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

^^^ Agreed. Steve Robertson knows who he is and doesn't pretend to be anything else. Steven Godfrey has yet to find himself.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

And considering his twitter handle is a combination of his surname and the number of one of Ole Miss's most beloved football players, the likelihood is high that he may not want to admit who he is because it conflicts with his message.

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

I hope Godfrey includes this in his little Goebbelesque film.... the 2:35 mark is a good starting point.



Blame whoever else you want. Say everybody does it.... Blah blah blah. Nobody else I can recall has had a player confess to taking money from coaches at an interview podium of the NFL Draft. This is why the NCAA reopened the investigation. Not because of a rat. Or a conspiracy.

 

[dawgstudent]

He has said the 38 has nothing to do with Mullins.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Nothing at all. After all, he's Not A Fan. **

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

ever heard of copy and paste?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

This is the issue with OM that most of their dumbass fans can't comprehend.

 

[Todd4State]

If MSU cheats.... we really suck at cheating.

If we suck at it Ole Miss obviously sucks worse at cheating since they're on probation.

 

[Todd4State]

^^^ Agreed. Steve Robertson knows who he is and doesn't pretend to be anything else. Steven Godfrey has yet to find himself.

Exactly. He's trying to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to be a national guy AND at the same time help Ole Miss out as much as possible and that can't happen without bias. And if you show obvious bias you can't be taken seriously on the national level.
