I don't like any of them. Maybe it's not their fault because the surface level coverage of UW football that the Seattle Times cougs are willing to give inhibits them, but none of the articles are interesting in the slightest.
Journalism is dead. It's been dead for a long time. Especially in sports. You now kind of just have to huddle with your own fans like here basically.
And that's fine. They don't need to be Jason Scheer level cheerleaders masquerading around as objective journalists, but they need to have somewhat of an opinion and be able to empathize with the fans a bit.
I hate the Scheer's and our own losers like that like Softy and the Doogman shit and despise the Oregon ones. There's no need for it. There's plenty of fans. Same with the supposed national guys who just hype shit up now.
Seems like you left off some folks from the “Who’s Who of Seattle Sports Media.”
That said, MelloDawg was a product of Bob Condotta’s blog. He is my obvious choices
I can’t read.
The next good one will be the best.
what you are describing is not a beat writer
I know.
There hasn't been a reason to have a beat writer in a long time.
Jude understood that and just started recording videos on his phone and calling it a day.
@GaryFromTeenMom
Still miss u.
The stats don't lie. A generational talent.
It’s Vorel, 34-17
Vorel, and it’s not a recency bias.
Before Vorel, it was Condotta hands-down.
Ted Miller?
Without Dan Raley, there is no Dan Raley Fucking Stupid and without that, my special connection to the Jewish doesn’t exist.
Did Vorel quit?
Emmitt Watson, hasn’t been a good one since
In spite of all the @RaceBannon as Moses jokes, he was actually old enough to read Royal Brougham as a young man.
Was he an actual beat writer at one point?
I read somewhere that they knew Royal Broughm was getting too old for the job when began writing stuff like "hey diddle diddle, Robin Earl up the middle." And I rememeber reading that when he went to cover the '78 Rose Bowl, he accidentally boarded the Michigan team bus at one point.
