Official Journalist Shitlist Thread
I figure that instead of starting a new thread every time some douchebag, POS excuse for a journalist jumps on the anti-Rich Rodriguez bashing bandwagon without actually thinking logically, we can just post here about who has dealt the most recent blow to journalistic integrity. In other words, if a sports reporter or writer has just said something that is off the wall, post about it here! When this whole thing ends and Michigan is fully exonerated and Michael Rosenfuck, Mark Snyder, and their editor find themselves unemployed, we'll have a list of which journalists officially suck.
King of the anti-Michigan propagandist assholes is Michael Rosenberg, of course. I just heard Woody Paige raving like a lunatic about how RR is a cheater. Congratulations, degenerate! You just made the list!
Also, in the preview for Sports Center, the reporter mentioned Herbie calling the whole thing a witch hunt. In Herbie we trust.

I have to give the PTI guys a little credit...they did not say that RR was guilty of anything, other than having some disgruntled players and he had better win now.
At least they did not jump on accusing him of wrongdoing...

I agree. They're usually pretty good about that type of thing. It wasn't like they went out on a limb and talked about the story being complete bullshit, but at least they didn't jump to conclusions.

All the "journalists" there obviously have only read (and not closely) the Freep article. It is so clear is listening to them. Herbstreit was on today and his first words were "It's [the allegation] an absolute joke."

the whole Around the Horn crew

Pretty much. Woody Paige was the one who was the most outspoken, of course about something he knew nothing about.

There was a write up in my hometown high school's student paper today that was rather scathing. I've since planted a kilo of cocaine in each of their lockers for the drug search tomorrow. That'll learn'em

I don't know if people out there are listening to Mitch Albom today. But these two idiots are way off base. A knowledgeable caller just called in and expressed everything that is wrong with this whole fiasco and they failed to see the point. He's on my shit list.

Gentlemen, How could we have a journalist shitlist without Drew Sharp?
September 1st, 2009 at 6:24 PM ^
I guess nobody was counting him as a journalist.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:22 PM ^
I'm going to add Pat Forde and Rich Eisen to the douchebag list.
September 1st, 2009 at 7:51 PM ^
Wait, what did he do? He's a Michigan grad who apparently once referred to "David Terrell got da bomb!" on air. What's his stance on this?
September 1st, 2009 at 6:23 PM ^
How bout radio jocks? That WJRs Mitch whatever is a dick.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:26 PM ^
Cuz he's still on my shitlist for his reaction to the "Get a Life" fiasco.

I so wish that Jim Everett would have pummeled Rome's smug face into an unrecognizable pulp.
September 1st, 2009 at 7:17 PM ^
Rome's face is made of plastic. That's why he only has one facial expression.

What's worse than these so-called journalists are the idiots who hang on to everything coming out of their asses.
