guys are really down with PAYING for omar kelley? and armondo and saleguar? and most of the other front line sports media writers suck 99% of the times also.
i prefer the off the grid sites as they DO get real info sometimes because, they PAY people for info [something a sun or herald writers cant get caught doing] and they are easier for informants to get out of hot water with giving the old " its just ........, everyone knows their a tabloid, they made it up and guessed and got lucky, etc.... . so, its easy for these guys to take the money and spill soemthing they heard or know.
remember in MEN IN BLACK when tommy lee jones took will smith to the bodega and bought a "tabloid" paper and smith said, "you actually read that garbage?" and tommy said, "yeah, this is the REAL news. no one takes this seriously and its easy to post the things we need to investigate without causing world panic or being discovered".
now, the off the main grid sites are not men in black supernatural writers, but, this is the take on it. most of the time when omar and armondo and saleguar mouth off, players or staff feed them something as a joke as they know if they say, ok, off the record, your right, so and so is going to..... or, yes, that signing is happening tonight knowing full well they will run right to their employer and front line it in their column and then endup on every spots board on the net. and they all laugh hard when those main media hacks are on boards bloating about their "inside, cant miss source" and how they have the TRUE inside info.
the outsiders get rolled sometimes to, but, i bet my money on the inside source who is being PAID to spill something. BARRY JACKSON is one of the ONLY guys i would MAYBE pay to read. and that depends on price. i NEVER give money to ANYONE or ANY SITE or charity or service untill i KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING, WHOS FIRST IN LINE TO COLLECT THE MONEY AND WHO BENEFITS. BEWARE: the ones who wont answer when you ask, your money IS going to places for much more than the implied purpose. many have no problem telling you whos getting it, what for and how much. and if their up front and i find there is someone who gets some "pay" from it, as long as their not people who support things that go against my social and political grounds, i have no problem with someone who is making a buck honestly, someone who is making their living taking care of that service or interest.
like the above poster mentioned, these main line news services like the herald and the sun and palm post, they are no where near becoming broke. it's been many, many, many years since print made any money. if that was causing them to go broke, they would have been finished YEARS ago.
so, NO, i will not pay a dime for those hacks or sites or web page. and, i have a problem with more than one of their sponsors who violate my personal code and interests. i wont give them my money to help either of those entities, the news service or the sponsors. NO SECRET i am a STAUNCH follower of the u.s. constitution and the 2nd amendment. so, as an example, i dont buy ANY of PAUL NEWMANS FOOD PRODUCTS like his salad dressings and drinks and so forth. why? his company, from day one gives MASSIVE money to the anti firearms crowd. me being a 2nd amendment and firearms enthusiast, it would counter to my interests to give the newman corporation my money!!
liking my stand on that IS NOT the point. EVERYONE should know who and what their money goes for. you would be surprised at what you find, no matter if your a constitution american or liberal or you worship a head of cabbage. if you roll back the layers, in MOST situations from sports to religion to gardening to online shopping, you will be shocked as to what and who gets your money. and the MAIN STREAM MEDIA is in on all kinds of unsavory dealings and or anti american issues and causes. this is NOT about political debate. forget about deciding what hack is your fav and paying for that, LOOK AT WHERE THE MONEY IS REALLY GOING before making your decision. there is much more going on in the world more important than paying a sports hack. as i said, IF you look [google] you will find eye opening things about these people and corporations and web sites who have their hand out and no matter what side of political, religious, social and personal side your on, VERIFY what your dollar is going for. if things are on board for your life style, beliefs, political preference, GO FOR IT. not everyone or every company or charity is on the take or supporting evil deeds or things you stand for.
a great man once said: TRUST....... BUT VERIFY!!
i wont be supporting the herald or the sun. its a RARE, RARE instance i read anything from them and 99,9% is from fans on the board posting something those idiots wrote in their columns
and, if you dont care about any of what i mentioned about the money trail, than boil it down to this......... PAY FOR OMAR? your REALLY going to do that?
