I mean, the score of every game played is a known fact. Don't repeat those either?

I would love to have seen Ian Rapaport's Twitter had it existed during the Croom years. We'd all hate him. Sekou Smith, its pretty easy to be loved when you are reporting on SEC Championship games, Final Fours, and College World Series.

Also, in case you didn't notice, Mike is going on to a better thing, as have Marcello and Veazey.

Bonner is a jackass, plain and simple. I don't know how you can't see his negative spin he puts on most articles he's written lately.

I'm not saying i want every beat writer to be like Rosebowl, but have some damn respect for the school you cover. His tweet yesterday about MSU not announcing hires until 3 weeks later was a direct shot at the MSU administration. I think that says a lot about Bonner to take a stab at Cohen, Strick & Keenum after he's announced he's leaving

There was a reason Keenum didn't want the announcement made on Cohen when Bonner got the info initially. What reason? I dont know, maybe because he wanted a standard procedure of interviews like most administrations. There's nothing wrong with that. Keenum is a super intelligent guy who's true maroon. I'll side with him any day over Bonner.

I think that if your boss is Hugh Kellenburger, you must suck at your job.

Should he show them the same amount of respect they showed him when they issued a press release to call him a liar when he was telling the truth?

I'm sure everything will be better now that he's gone though. Sammon's first article will about how much bigger our dicks are than everybody else's.

Reporting and repeating are different and you know it. One is to inform.

In case you didn't notice i never mentioned Veazey or Marcello. My point is showing your *** isn't necessary to prove your worth and in fact detracts from your value as a reporter. If you can't see that you are blinded by friendship, which is natural, but still blind.

Sekou had plenty to act like an asshurt teenager over. So did Rapaport, and both managed to not allow themselves to compromise their standards in print or over the radio. They had plenty of chances.

But that was a damn nice try at making sekou's entire time as only having good events to report.

Ya boy did just what his boss did. Reduced himself to just another message board poster. Which would be ok if he weren't hired by the states largest paper.

He was below average at best.

I still don't believe Bonner has a college degree. I've never seen a journalist commit more grammatical errors than he did. I'm talking about 6th grade stuff like Your vs. You're and There vs. Their etc. He was terrible.

I think Bonner was not a traditional print journalist before he came to the CL if I remember correctly

Except the score of that one Arkansas game.

Dude. Re. Lax.

You can understand the issues people have with Bonner. I know you can. And we all understand you are friends with Bonner. Haters gonna hate. Get over it. I'm sure It doesn't bother Mike too much.

Never have seen HD6 white knight so hard for someone.

Negative posts about Bonner give HD6 the biggest case of red ***. Here's another tweet by Bonner with a dig at MSU.

"So far the audition to prove they deserve the fans attention not working out too well. 6-0 A&M with 16:30 remaining in the first.
— Michael Bonner (@MikeBBonner) January 14, 2017"

I can't wait for HD6's standard response: "But MSU playing poorly in the 1st half was a fact. You cannot dispute facts!"

Bonner has turned into a major dick since the AD situation. His obsession with our basketball attendance is over the top. He even took another shot on twitter about the attendance before today's game. Can't wait until he's gone.
