Snarky Adelson
Quoted from a writing by the noted barrister:

Quote:Tony Martina in Cincinnati writes: Can ESPN please assign a person to cover the Big East that doesn't come off as snarky in nearly every article penned about the conference? We used to come here for actual information. Now its merely Ms. Adelson's op-ed blog. Lord, how I miss Brian Bennett.

Adelson: Oh, did you want me to wear cheerleader pom-poms every time the Big East made another expansion move? Gosh, I am so sorry to disappoint. The purpose of the blog is to provide news, AND analysis AND opinion. There is plenty of all three to be found on here.

RE: Snarky Adelson
Responding to accusations of snark with more snark. Brilliance.

I don't even know if she's that bad or not.. I pretty much stopped reading when Bennett left.

Haters will hate. Who doesn't hate on the Big East these days?

Does she cover Big East basketball, too, or do they assign that to "real" reporters?

Those ESPN bloggers for each conference are for football only.

I do miss Brian Bennett. He wasn't a cheerleader, but you could tell he liked covering the conference.

... Sports fans are giant vaginas, when it comes to criticism.
It's a blog, you like it? Read it. You don't? Go screw.

I think she does a pretty good job. It's hard to please everyone.

I quit reading when Bennett left. This will sound sexist, and it probably is, but I can't take sports analysis seriously when it comes from a female. Like when female's do the color commentating during a basketball or football game, I have a tough time listening. Feel free to call me a sexist jerk, but it's the truth.

Wow.

When a two barrelled response simply reveals the fact that you know the criticism is true.

Ouch
