Ole Miss / Kellenberger / Rivalry TRUTH

[Drebin]

I think newspapers are in a different predicament than even 5 years ago. They have to take calculated risks if it's worth it to piss off a good portion of their subscriber base - especially with something so meaningless as sports.

Whether they piss off subscribers or not - the Clarion Ledger would be must-read by everyone in the state if they would actually report and break news on the investigation. Rosebowl calls this the biggest sports story in the state of Mississippi and he is right.

Whether they were praising the CL for it's investigative chops or criticizing it for being a hack organization hell bent on taking down Ole Miss, everyone would be reading. Business would be booming. Instead they are too hell bent on being a mouthpiece of the university of Mississippi, and alienating a large portion of the state. If it wasn't obvious before last week's stories on the players who never received benefits, or the toxic nature of the rivalry, it sure is now.

Does Rosebowl call this the biggest sports story in the state of Mississippi? It has been implied to me that he has something he would rather scoop. Both of those may be true, but...

He has called this the biggest sports story in the state several times on his radio show. I don't get the sense that this is something he necessarily wants to scoop. He has been very vocal that the only reason he's decided to speak up and report on this is because nobody else would. He claims he's given info to the CL and they chose not to run it. Now that he's this deep into it, maybe he does want to be the scoop for new info, and I don't blame him with all of the fire he's taking on.
