WKR talks UFC 110 Media Coverage
Last week WKR noticed that there seemed to be a drop off in MMA media coverage and general lack of "heat" leading into UFC 110. While this wasn't due to a lack of previews or pre-fight interviews or discussing stories coming out of Australia there wasn't the expected data dump (other than planned...
I Am a Prophet
Does anyone remember when I posted this? I actually wrote that before I ever heard the name "Kellis Robinett." Not to toot my own horn overly much, but even I am amazed at how eerily prescient it was. If anything, I lowballed my estimate. It won't take years. It already happened. Fitz even said...
Media effect on the draft?
I've always wondered if the countless mock drafts, and the countless draft discussions really effect what the actual selections will be on draft day. If you were a GM, or a head coach, and you were bombarded with "should draft" and "need to draft" on all sides by the media which in some fans eyes,...
We Now Know Why They Hate Us
(Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit are really just a symptom of the problem.) Look. I'm not gonna argue or say that the Trojans couldn't have kicked some major butt in a playoff system. It's what I want to see personally; I've been an advocate of the 16-team playoff (11 conference champs, five...
About Last Night...
The morning media-ocrity has awakened from it's blissful slumbers, rolled out of bed and belched forth its usual pile of pomposity. So here's the highlights of the offerings for you to peruse at your leisure... The New York Times The Crimson Tide looked like an upset victim because its...
Bama vs LSU in the News
ed.- bumped from the fanposts. muchos gracias to our peruvian connection for the link rundown. In case you thought that election thing that occurred yesterday was all the news going on anyone was interested in you would be sadly mistaken. Seems a number of folks have decided to fill their...
Camp Rules
Actually, if you're a player, it bites. As Sports Illustrated's Stephan Fastis discovered, players regard it grimly. Some more stoically than others, to be sure, but the fact is that camp is something to be endured if you're a veteran; if a rookie, it is 6 or so weeks of desperate self-doubt. ...
Does Aaron Rodgers hate us?
No. I'm sure Rodgers isn't mad at the fans, he's mad at all the media types that insist that the fans will turn on him because he isn't Brett Favre. I'll bet that on draft day in 2005, ESPN started working on its "Brett Favre retirement/Aaron Rodgers scrutinization" programming. Seriously, look...
Simers is Nuts!
Jon was nice enough to post a diary on Conquest Chronicles asking about Nutty LA Times Columnist T.J.Simers and his gratuitous shots at Nebraska fans. I and many other SC fans do not share his views as we understand the passion that Nebraska fans have for their team. We respect the proud history of...
Baseball and New Media
http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20080331/SPT04/803310353/ Apparently C. Trent can't blog quite in the same mannor as he did last year. I feel like tightening the restrictiong of coverage is a bad decision in the long run. You gotta figure baseball really wants to keep...
