JB deserves credit for preparing major depth at such a crucial position. He also signed Keeper, who hit some lousy luck. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alflives Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 Just now, Slegr said: I’d love to see Woo given a shot. Anyone know how his season is going? Woo has been very good, but he's injured right now. Some morons started the stupid rumor Woo was a healthy scratch, but in reality he's been playing hurt. And even though playing hurt he has still been really good. He's even putting up points, which was not expected for a guy playing the shutdown D role. Woo is going to be a player for us, and a very good one. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the average human attention span is measured in seconds instead of minutes, the proliferation of quick news bites (that don't have to necessarily be completely vetted) has made the provision of information all about speed instead of accuracy. Part of the problem too is that people have a hard time distinguishing real journalists from the basement youtubers/bloggers. There's more information at your fingertips than there has ever been in the history of humanity, but 99% of it is complete horse crap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average person isn't really very discerning in their search for the truth anymore. If something confirms what they already feel (rather than know), they go with it. Hell, quite a few "fact-checking" websites, if you dig deep enough into them, are biased. The truth is out there, but finding it is near impossible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand him, but I listen to Donnie & Dhali almost every day anyway. He might do pretty decent in their trivia, but he's ignorant. He also yells a lot, which annoys me. I imagine his household being very loud, everyone yelling at each other so they can be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 I don't listen to that crap anymore; too much BS and too many commercials. The old Team 1040 am setting is 24/7 comedy now (altho, lots of repeats) and I use that to drown out the sound of that god-awful ET crap my wife's hooked on, instead of the dregs on 650.

austy Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 48 minutes ago, FaninMex said: Why are you just noticing this now? Like when Sekeres or Drance stated that Hughes was on IV then Dhali and the trifecta all started saying a source said. It was just them quoting each other and pushing it until the rest of media and CDC said where there is smoke there is fire garbage and it became truth. Hughes finally had to call them out. How many times now has Dhali and Donnie had on their show someone say the media is horrible and they quote them and make a big laugh. They are proud of being slime. I'm not sure what the big deal is about the IV fluid thing? People bring this up all the time. It would be entirely reasonable for an org. to send their medical staff to put a few bags of fluids up for some vomiting/diarrhea affected players. Even if that player was simply hungover or had gastro rather than covid it would still be fine and doesn't mean they were that sick. Maybe it happened maybe it didn't, it doesn't mean anything, nor does it matter that they reported it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started off really well, just providing the facts via his Twit account, but then slowly became another speculative donkey. Ricky D peaked as Dan Russel's producer, and has been on a down hill slide since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with the first part; taking IV fuilds happens all the time and it isn't that big of a deal. I do think reporting it when it was fasle is a big deal. Quinn was asked directly and said "no, that didn't happen. I don't know where you got that from" (exact quote might be off, but words to that effect). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
