It is part of their job to be muckraking garbage slingers. I imagine that not all of them are. But this was Tabloid heaven and GM has doubled down on it.

We can finally bond over our mutual hatred of GM!

Tortillero

11/11/17 6:19pm

To call someone out in public is low. Gordon wouldn't want his in public.

For a reporter to do it with zero evidence seems especially egregious.

Tortillero

11/11/17 6:19pm

Exactly. I thought journalism needed supporting evidence or source

What do you mean "look like"?

Way to attack someone instead of offering your opinion. Why is it that when

Meant for Monson

Weren’t we ragging on Utah over carrington? You may not like Monson, but he’s right in this case. Emery did something

Heinous sins? No one is insinuating that, unless you consider booster benefits

Monson alludes its honor code related.....

kansascougar

11/12/17 9:56am

Understood. I could be wrong, but I took it as honor code as in ncaa violations, not other stuff. Of course, those who

macaroni

11/12/17 10:00am

Fair enough. But Monson cites NCAA and honor code as separate

kansascougar

11/12/17 10:03am

Kind of. I think most are jumping that way because of who the author is.

macaroni

11/12/17 10:09am

No, he cited both. It’s black and white. No kind of about it

kansascougar

I was going to respond a certain way, but I remembered it’s Sunday. God bless

Don’t worry. You already broke that rule with your last post. God bless you, too

They're making up stuff that is unrelated to that.

you should consider applying for a job w/ the NCAA. Only an employee of the NCAA

Bostonblue

11/11/17 10:18pm

Yeah, I’m sure you defend all the schools with violations, right? Taking money, vacations, and a car are nbd, huh?

macaroni

11/12/17 9:47am

Yes. I would have been. Have you applied to the NCAA yet?

Bostonblue

11/13/17 12:25pm

You actually have no idea of the circumstances around Emery's violations

You're wrong.

Thanks. I appreciate honesty and integrity.

Those are two words I would never attribute to something Gordon Monson wrote.

I didn’t say anything about Gordon monson.

macaroni

11/12/17 10:09am

Right. You only said he was right in this case and that you also appreciate integrity & honest. I was just connecting

SpiffCoug

11/12/17 10:26am

I wasn’t referring to Monson. I was responding to the post.

macaroni

11/12/17 10:32am

So you appreciate honesty and integrity and think Monson is right?

Thanks for proving my point, guys. Didn’t like my Carrington example, how about Cam Newton? Were you all sympathetic

It’s hard for most to have empathy with those who are different than them

I am still amazed anyone reads his stuff. If no one reads it, he's got no job.

Count Cougar

That is a pretty low mark for Monson.

This was the perfect tabloid headline piece to suck people in.
