Is Dave Coulson a Retard?

Post by AZGrizFan »

....or does he do this shit on purpose? Here's the link to his latest article, in which he's given the kiss of death to Montana. But that's not what bothers me. It's his complete LACK of fact checking. Here's few gems from the article:
It took a while for Montana to offset the loss of running back Lex Hilliard to the NFL, but the offense awoke around the gritty rushing of sophomore Chase Reynolds, who played six-man football in high school. Reynolds has eight straight 100-yard rushing efforts on the way to 1,536 yards (5.7 average per carry) and a school-record 21 TDs on the ground.
It was eight man, genius. Even the dorks at ESPN knew THAT.
In a contest where points are likely to come at a premium, Montana probably has a few more playmakers than Richmond, and expect the Grizzlies to come away with one or two more plays to win their fourth national championship.
Thanks for the props, Einstein, but it'll only be our THIRD NC, not fourth. I swear, it's like he writes this shit sitting on the TOILET in about 5 minutes. Does NOONE check his crap before it's put out there? Considering he picked a JMU/UNI final, he's probably just putting his curse on Montana figuring a CAA team will win and he'll be vindicated. :lol: :lol:

Eh, Dave does some good work, some crappy work.

Told me I was an idiot for wanting Jerome gone at NAU.

I think he just uses memory, what little he has left, for all his stats. It wouldn't hurt him to open up a web page on the two, four, six, teams that he is covering that week to be as accurate as possible.

Mr. C is a piece of shit. That man can not take honest, open criticisim. I spit on him. Seriously though, the man has no respect for those that sincerely correct him. I don't care for him at all.

Agreed. I realize that he has a lot to cover, but at this point in the season, there's only ONE game to worry about, it shouldn't be that hard to check your facts before you publish something.

Say what you want but when I asked him a question about an error he made, he goes off on me how i know nothing and he doesn't tell me how to do his job. When you act unruly like that when someone privately points out a mistake you made, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. When you call me a piece of crap and harrass me and anything I say, you are a piece of shit in my eyes. I have no respect for him.

AS to his inaccuracies, he has one job...report the news and the truth. I don't know if he's lazy and doesn't check facts or what, but there is a reason people point it out.

Jeezus...I realize he's a sportwriter, and this is the championship game...but it's not like he's out there promoting the Citadel, or some other crazy bullsh!t.

And, Mark, sorry 'bout your contact with him...not saying it didn't happen, but that doesn't sound like the guy I spoke with...who was pretty cool, laid back, and unbiased.

Let me get my helmet on first...

...OK...I'm ready for the attacks.

I forgive pretty easily and figured it was a mistake...but after the 2nd and 3rd time I lost all respect for him. I know we aren't perfect but have some sense.
