Worst postgame article ever

[WOS92]

If I thought the person who wrote this would find their way to this site, I wouldn't post it, but WOW. I thought "news" stories were supposed to avoid editorializing (giving opinions) or using loaded words and phrases (like "got lucky"). It is a fun read if you read it in the "Wild and Crazy Guys" accent (for those of you old enough to remember that... for those of you NOT... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH9sAENQNV8 )

This was so amateurish.  The typos, incorrect name of our school, silly commentaries, and the "got lucky" remark about our 6'3" receiver against their "pee-wee" defender is hysterical.  Thanks for the laugh, 92.

Brutal.............13-39

[WOS92]

Some of my favorites:

"Bullard went into the half with good scoreboard position where they felt comfortable coming into the second-half right chasing Orange-Stark but close enough to pull ahead like is their usual."

"The Mustangs scored one more time in the fourth with every break going their way. When they fumbled, they recovered it. When there was great coverage and no way they would catch the throw, they caught it for the touchdown."

Don't bash anybody on this site.

My post was changed, obviously.  I am not bashing, just telling the truth.  She does a great job of bashing herself just by continuing to write unintelligible stories.

I can't for the life of me understand why it upset's people when team's make up all kind of excuses for losing ball game's,No one want's to openly admit their short comings.."Winner's Never Complain,Only Loser's Do"..... ;D

Define good scoreboard position?

[rlsmith1975]

Lots of times sports articles in small town newspapers are written by high school students, which would explain the ultimate homerism displayed in this piece. Many of the small papers don't have an editor who bothers to edit, or they're afraid to hurt someone's feelings by changing their article. Don't know anything about this paper or reporter, but it is not the "worst" I've seen. Maybe top three LOL. And as far as not editorializing, that's never been a standard in sports sections. Not even one anymore in "news" articles. 8)

What a terrible article. Small town papers like to show their bias.

Off topic: Driving to the Ned game Saturday, I tuned in the Ozen game on the radio. One announcer referred to the end zone as "pay area". I also hate announcers who refer to a TD as a "homerun".

Scoreboard position.....that's a new one.

Sorry smith, I was typing while you posted that.

[bullets13]

the sentence structure of the article made me feel like i was reading an essay by either an 8th grader or one of those English-speaking Indians that you get when you try to get customer support on the phone.

[Jackthehammer]

Sounds like a highschool kid

The folks from India at least have an excuse...English is their second language, or even third.  This "writer" was educated in the US, possibly at Bullard. 

As to "homerism", there are papers that practice it everywhere.  The way it was written though, sounds like it's a girl whose boyfriend plays for the team.

A true literary masterpiece, in every sense...Shakespeare would be proud!  ::)

[Titletown2]

Wow! That was definately a high schooler. I was sports editor of my high school paper and I can't see how that ever got published. Apparently, that paper has no editor. It also sounds like that was the first football game the writer has ever seen. Scoreboard posistion? I don't even want to know what that is.

I think the author's name is a pseudonym for Yoda. The bias doesn't bother me near as much as the lack of English skills does.

Is scoreboard position part of the karma sutra?

Guess Babel Hill isn't doing too good in basketball either, since Smoking Baby has all this time on it's hands.  Where is BH playing football right now?  Oh right, their Nintendos...

From the Bear side of the house...GO MUSTANGS!

[MMstangfan]

Smoking Baby must of gotten hold of somebody's crack pipe.  I interpreted the Bullard artice this way -- We were shut down on offense, and the WOS offense scored at will.
