Nothing's good enough. It seems like he hates the entire team.
Maybe. But couldn't you say the same thing about someone for throwing out a piece with positive observations that the author knows don't mean much but will get him attention from the fan base because it tells them what they want to hear?
It's basically the same thing. Like I said it's content generation at a time when there's not much significant content to write about.
It always amazes me that Omar is widely recognized as a horrible beat writer yet people still read his stuff and get upset with it. I follow Omar on Twitter but learned a long time ago not to put much stock into his evaluations. He is not a sole source of info by any means just one of all the Dolphin beat writers I read. My advice would be that if you can't read Omar without the ability to filter out the garbage, don't.
I ****ing love that he killed Omar in the article. I do not care what the content is...Omar sucks.
Sure. That would be the same thing. Though if there are Phins beat writers out there deliberately blowing people's skirts up I don't know who they are. Either way this term "content generation" doesn't really do justice to Omar's strategy. It's a nice way of saying he's being dishonest when we should just say he's being dishonest.
IMO Omar Kelly privately thinks Tannehill is a 2nd string QB and doesn't really care for him.
So,when Omar points out that Tannehill threw a blown coverage deep pass to Mike Wallace,I ignore the opinion (Blow coverage) part and try and judge it from other reports or sources.
Omar Kelly is the Bleacher report II,has some good,but has some bad and questionable opinions.
Id actually be more worried if Omar said Wallace DID look good. After all, last preseason he was saying Nanaee was highly impressive.
That's his shtik. He says things to rile the fans up so the read his garbage and follow him. He gets more threads on finheaven than any other reporter, so clearly people are reading his articles so he gets to keep his job. I would liken him more to that guy at the carnival that sits over a vat of water heckling the crowd while people hurl baseballs at him. There is always a big crowd surrounding that act and unfortunately that's what journalism is today.
I have no idea how what he wrote was dishonest. That's the primary disconnect I'm having with you on this.
It's dishonest because it's deliberately inflammatory... not because he wants to shine a light on something or make a point through exaggeration but because he knows, as you said, it's going to get negative attention and that's better than no attention.
It's still his honest opinion. All writers incorporate public interest into their decision on what to write. As well they should. I'm not seeing where that's wrong.
