POLL: Most hated reporter in South Florida?

[J. David Wannyheimer]

I think Omar Kelly is probably a pretty decent person when he's not in his "I know everything and I want to piss on the fans" persona.

I really do think he's just putting on an act because occasionally when you hear him doing a radio guest spot he kinda drops the nonsense and sounds like an actual human being.

It's not exactly a no-brainer between 2 of 'em. (don't understand why Dan is included). Went with The Dredlockian because, granted it's all relative, Mando seems to be a little less trollish, self-infatuated, a tad more knowledgeable and perhaps based on his reportage, maybe a bit better respected by the players (excluding Hartline who reamed him a new ayehole during his re-signing presser).

Love the image....I almost feel like you could put Philbin and Ireland in there as well (also a great movie)

LeBatard has no business being featured in this poll.

Hate? Pretty strong word. Someone has to do really bad things for me to hate someone.
Blood boiling over? A beat writer for a football franchise? It's a game.

This team has been a 3 ring circus for the better part of a decade! Maybe it is time we stop shooting the messenger?

We have to shoot the messenger, otherwise Omar will shoot at us. Admittedly he will miss but it could be slightly alarming.

Anyways, while both are terrible at their jobs and have shown evidence of being terrible people, i went with Omar. Armando might have pissed me off when he made his ridiculous and small minded rant about Vietnam veterans, but at least he hasnt admitted to attempted murder.

Omar has the proven track record, but Adam Beasley's recent episode is truly worthy of an honorable mention. Because Joe Philbin has elected to not give him information, he sees his civic duty is now to fuel a covert exercise to remove our coach. When did sports reporters get entrusted with this onerous responsibility?

It does take a special kind of douchebag to do that. Beasley gets my runner up

I said Omar....obviously...

But Beasley is rapidly becoming a deuch...

I dislike Mando the most, he brings nothing to the conversation, at least Omar has an opinion that he sticks to and can defend it with logic, don't necessarily agree with it but at least you can respect most of what he says, not to mention he is always tweeting and writing columns and on air talking fins.....always respect a hard worker...Mando is lazy and his opinions are paper thin, not even worth the time to argue with him. I don't read anything Mando writes unless its posted here and then I might look at it and usually regret it afterwards ....

 

[GoonBoss]

I don't HATE any.

But off that list there is one that's useless, though at least marginally able to write a grammatically
correct article. There's one that struggles with mental illness and utter uselessness, one that's a jerk, and
one that I've never heard of.

One that I like.

Funny, you have slomar at the top of your poll, haha. Fitting tho.

 

[Geordie]

In many respects I respect and admire Omar for the amount of work he clearly puts in, how the guy manages to tweet as much he does and still write his columns and stuff is very admirable. However the way he talks to people and his shameless self loving immediately diverts you away from any praise you may be inclined to give to the guy. He's a very strange individual, very strange.

 

[Ruckus45]

Didn't read the whole thing- Omar.

Omar's biggest problem, among many, is that he thinks he is exceptionally smart, when in reality he isn't. So, he ends up being obnoxious and he finds it imperative to be contrarian to the fans since he always has to prove how allegedly smart he is.

So, if the Dolphins are 3-0, the sky is falling for him, but if they are losing 4 straight, the Dolphins are fine and doing well. It's his constant need to express how much smarter he is.

The reality is he is kind of a dunce. And he is the worst kind of dunce, since he doesn't know he is a dunce, and actually thinks he is intellectually superior to fans. Note to Omar, fans can be CEO's, physicians, lawyers, financial experts, executives, engineers, nuclear physicists, mathematicians, etc. He doesn't get that his lot in life is not necessarily as high and mighty as he thinks relative to the "fans" to which he claims superiority.
