John Adams

[7IlikeOrange7]

I absolutely hate this guy. I read what he wrote today and i never liked him really, but what he said today trying to quote fulmer, was absolutely rediculous. It's not funny its not entertaining. Its garbage to say the least. This guy looks like a rat and craves on trying to piss people off. Well congrats john you piss plenty of people off! He has to get a rise out of people i guess through papers i mean if i was that ugly i wouldnt do tv interviews or anything. I hate this guy with a passion and I wish he would just leave. It has nothing to do with him entertaining anymore and you might say "well your gonna read all of his stuff now because it makes you mad" but thats not the case. I honestly think he has no skills as a write except being an ass. John do yourself a favor and move somewhere else. If i was fulmer i would rat trap your ass!

I don't know much about Adams, is he worse than David Climer?

 

[mattvols]

I hate him all he does is complain about the vols, he is never happy, you'd think he was from Alabama with how he talks about the team, I hate the guy.

 

[7IlikeOrange7]

i dont see how anyone could be worse than him! honestly not exagerating! He is on my top 5 most hated people in this world. Did anyone here catch what he wrote today... if so whad you think about it? i think he really daggerd fulmer today with that article. That was just low

 

[utvols82]

Sounds like he and Climer are about the same then.

 

[bigorange#1]

Adams & climer 2 peas in a pod!

[7IlikeOrange7]

:bad: summarize?

 

[golf437]

He does hate the vols. I never read anything that he writes.

 

[volinasheville]

Not saying they need a booster as sports editor but can't any graduates from UT qualify as sports editor? I am old enough to remember that LSU grad John Adams replaced Bammer Al Browning.

 

[rwkvol21]

Adams sux. Used to get death threads years ago in Knoxville then "toned" down his crap some. I can't stand him or anyone at the "Senseless".

 

[Freak]

It's absurd. It's a mockery of Fulmer. It's a pretend recruiting visit where Fulmer tells a parent how we were "this close" to winning a national championship this year meanwhile the recruit is on the phone in the other room with Weiss and Carrol.

You mean Griff actually has a degree from somewhere? You could have fooled me!! :blush:

 

[hatvol96]

I agree completely with this thread. Knoxville should take a cue from Cuba and North Korea. We need a totally sycophant laden media that only spouts the party line. Maybe Jimmy "King Sheep" Hyams will come back to the KNS. We could only be so lucky!!!

 

[IBleedOrange24/7]

I refuse to read his (Adams) or Climers garb.

Agree with you. Good lord, you people want ALL of Knoxville's media to follow the party line? It is nice to see some objectivity in this town.

The guy makes his money off of raising people's feathers. He was behind TN once in my life, in 98. He writes some decent articles with validity from time to time, but for the most part he is an ass. I take what he says with a grain of salt and move on. You have better sportswriters in Playboy than you do in Jack-ass Jon Adams.
