I have to admit that I thought you were nothing but a cockeyed optimist who equated propaganda with the truth, but I want to really give you credit for something.

Your post in the thread on Kasey Mahler reporting that Mullins was fired, um, cough, REASSIGNED.

You hit it right on the head. To show you the sorry state of media in the Tri-Cities, it wasn't until 10:08 a.m. that the Johnson City Press had the story.

Shades of Mike Cavan going to SMU, ay Mike White?

Surfing the net, I see:

Tri-Cities Sports has something up on Vanderbilt track (WHAT?).

WCYB, who came on to the story at 10:30 a.m. or so (guess that's when the press release was sent out), has it as Mullins is retiring and will be the "special assistant to the president for athletics." I don't like that at all.

Mahler, though, deserves a lot of credit for beating out all the newspaper reporters on this story. They really do appear to be lap dogs, but that's no news. And the two TV stations can't even agree as to what the story is. And Kenny has a real reputation for being lazy and it was shown on this one.

Just dreadful.

I wonder what Bill Meade's top story will be today. What did they talk about on the Monster as the lead?

But really, spot on analysis, Mister. The sad thing is that about the only thing that figures to change on a media basis about this is that Kasey might be moving on to bigger and better things and then the Tri-Cities will be left with the same old crap.

And that can be a major hinderence in the area, not to mention the ETSU athletic program, going forward.

Smack board, please.

Who is talking smack?

I want to do a media analysis thread and you think it's smack?

Somebody said I lived to play devil's advocate. Actually, I live for independent thought, and right now I am happy my comprehension is independent of BuccaneerLover's!!!!

You live to get attention, and calling someone out is smack, nothing more, nothing less. You've been trolling/flaming Mister now in various threads for a few weeks. Move it to BucOff.

"Calling out" is a way to get the man's participation on the thread.

Read what I wrote. I'm complimenting the guy and asking for his analysis on the local media, which he claims to be a one-time part of.

Sheesh!

Again, very happy my thought is independent of BuccaneerLover's. If only his style was independent of my own.

See that's just it. You have a style, and that style is to troll/flame. You're not in media, none of us are, you drive a damn taxi dude and this is a messageboard.
Even with a new A.D., you still won't get press credentials at ETSU. Shiny bald guy isn't going anywhere.

You're the only one trolling.

As far as taxi driving, the way you found out about that was a big feature story about my MEDIA CAREER the Valley Morning Star did on me where I mentioned it as a side job. Where I figure to make about $700 this 3-day weekend.

So I'm getting feature stories about how good of a sportscaster/media member I am, but I'm not in the media. Okay.

So I ask, why flame the thread about the local media? Who are you trying to protect?

You and Kasey have a falling out in the past? You can't stand to see him get praise?

Flaming troll. Nothing more, nothing less. You're trying to hijack threads again and tell everyone about your summer stock and how they all wronged you even though you're anti-social behavior you exhibit is what actually has led to you crapping in your own bed.
Go back to your taxi and keep trying to get Kelly Hodge to respond to your emails. Maybe he'll send you an autographed photo.

For the love of God, can we close this thread??

This is the pissing match I was refering to that is beginning to take over all threads. Just kiss and make up already, Dave Mullins is gone

That's why I said to move it to smack. It is smack, nothing more, nothing less.

It was never smack. What part of "a media thread" did you not get?

It was taken over by a troll.

Sad, because had Mister and I been allowed to communicate a very good discussion could have taken place that would have been productive.



I would ask Fan1 to delete Lover's hijacking and see if the discussion could take place. Kasey deserves credit for his scoop and analysis should follow.

The thread did, however, fully identify Lover as an idiot for not being able to comprehend it.

There. NOW it's smack!
