td88 I can respect that and it's not like I think he is Paul Finebaum or anything but he reminds me of a bammer in that he always wants to report the negative about Tennessee. He seems to enjoy writing those types of articles (not saying it's not true). Even when he writes an article that appears positive on the surface I somehow get the feeling that it's full of backhanded slaps to the face.
Let's look at his last four articles on UT:
1. Vols Spend as much as they make - already mentioned above.
2. He wrote an article on Pearl and pumps him as the right guy for the job but is sure to point out all of the areas he has failed since he got here: Gordon, Smith, no headway in Memphis. He bashes Pearl in about the whole article and doesn't miss the opportunity to Bash DeVoe, Houston, O'Neil, Green, and Peterson in the process. At one point in the article he says that you could make the case that Tennessee would be better next year with Peterson as coach. Then the very last sentence tries to make it sound like he likes Pearl and UT when he says Pearl is the right guy for the job. -- Write a nasty article but finish with a compliment......sneaky.
3. Article on the orange and white game. This is actually the only article he has written recently that seems to have a positive theme. However, he does't miss the opportunity to throw in a couple of paragraphs about UT's off the field problems.
4. Article on the Acadmeic Progress System. This is not really even an article about Tennessee but he pulls in Fulmer and his "11 Vols in trouble" and all the "orange entries on the police blotter" and hints as to how he may not be hasty to suspend these guys with the APS penalties involved.
Come on, this guy is a wolf in sheeps clothing. It's obvious to me that he writes with an anti Tennessee agenda. Am I the only one that sees it? Am I just biased?
