Bob Condotta and the Seattle Times' Angle

creepycoug · December 2014

TL; DR

Don't respond to anyone who uses "y'all" with any degree of sincerity.

And you're whining about a non-issue. So the local rag hates the local football powerhouse. Welcome to big-time college football. About half the programs in 'Merica have the same relationship with their local rags.

I've called the whaaaambulance for you. It should be there any minute.

I never got why some of our group think bob c is so good myself. he works for a big paper whose job is to stir shit up and they always have an agenda... plus the fact that all the local media (papers/tv/radio) hire only non-UW people to cover the Huskies has been clear as day to me. In other words you get coogs covering UW (fail) and community college guys like fetters, softy, grinolds, eklund "covering" huskies... this is why I really like Petersen - he hates these fucking retards.

Bob is good because he actually works hard at his job. Look at his Seahawks blog. He covers practice and does both video and print interviews. Jude's lazy ass just sticks with the video's because he doesn't want to transcribe.

Condotta searches the web and posts relevant links and stories. Jude lazily does this. I don't care that Jude is a Duck or if Condotta hates the Husky. I don't need a UW grad to be covering the Huskies either. Condotta is a true professional and Jude is a lazy piece of shit.

obviously Jude is lazy but I don't read bob's seahawks blog b/c i couldn't care less about it, but my point isn't that bob can't write/blog/video record a lot but rather that he and the hacks he works with behind the scenes orchestrate the stories that will sell advertisements and what is his incentive to paint UW in a positive light? Not one raison why he wouldn't be part of the machine to create "holy shit" stories to get the community incensed!!!
