Just a reminder that the folks who report sports to us are absolutely terrible at playing those sports.
.Darren Rovell embarrasses himself on a weekly basis in all sorts of ways...he has some interesting stuff, but man, what a dorky ass dbag.
Rovell is the absolute best and worst Twitter follow all in one. If you're not following RovellReplies you're not taking full advantage of his awfulness.
I always just assumed that people who write about sports for a living are huge fans of sports, and I further assumed that this means they played sports growing up. That's incorrect.
Obviously, Darren Rovell never picked up a basketball in his entire life. (And if he did, that's even worse.) As I've said before, these dudes were just journalism majors who are skilled at stringing words together, and -- on occasion -- maybe offering a little insight. But man what huge nerds they are. No wonder athletes and coaches have no respect for them.
It's like being a financial reporter who can't balance a checkbook.

Cincinnati's streetcar opens today.Looking forward to the unique, insightful, thought-provoking, entertaining posts Joey and abh are going to provide GYERO today.
It only exists because white people are afraid of getting on a bus. (Bus wheels aren't confined to a looped track and could spirit them away to Avondale, hypothetically.)
Just because you aren't athletic doesn't mean you don't know sports. That said- having a sports writing gig doesn't mean you know sports. It's the easiest, luckiest job in the world- one that probably about a quarter of all sports fans could do competently, which is why I'm constantly amused when sports writers attempt to make their profession more important than it really is.
That's why they hate guys like Matt Jones and Clay Travis who proved most any ol' sports fan could do their jobs.
When I saw the damn thing testing, I was like, "so this is what the millennials were so worked up about?" It's fine, I guess, but sure as hell isn't the device that would launch Cincinnati into being an upper tier city.

Can't wait to see what's next!
I'm surprised my post resulted in a snarky, insecure response from a Louisvillian. How novel.
How coon dog drunk are Tennessee fans going to get while watching the Vols underneath the lights at Bristol with cold beer being sold?
Having a slow time at work? Want to get back to being busy? Schedule a trip or some important event & just sit back and wait til Thurs & Friday prior, and business will be booming again -- and blow up even further once you leave.
Uncanny how that works, without fail.
-Cuadz -15? Think they smoke that.

My favorite part will be where they take advantage of what the opponent gives them, and then proceed to call plays and gameplan accordingly. I also look forward to them having players in the right spots to make plays. In addition, I eagerly anticipate them making adjustments throughout the course of the game. Of course, that won't be nearly as compelling as when their coaches don't freak out mid-game and start bickering with each other like amateurs.
Yeah, it's shocking how quickly Petrino's past was forgotten. Actually, no, it isn't as 90% of GYERO said as much when he was hired.
New letter, really. And a Thundercat no one really uses.
Not only is he terrible at sports, he doesn't even know the rules. He says he shot 6 3Pter's, but he actually shot zero. Those are mid range jumpers in the NBA, Squintz.
Kentucky Football is the Snarf of the SEC.

Man, Matthew Mitchell is a terrible defender.
If you haven't read UKErik's breakdown on the football forum, it is pretty hilarious in its sheer contempt. One of those, "If you lose Kronkite..." type things.
Thinking an open letter to our AD every Monday would be just considering the crap on the field product we get to experience every weekend.
DEAR MEETCH....
DEAR MEETCH....
Some of my favorite lines from that classic:
Looking back at the time that I've followed UK football (started with the Claiborne years), I don't recall a more disappointing season opener. And my God, that's saying a lot.
The "head coach on training wheels" has managed to accomplish virtually nothing in his 37 games at Kentucky. Because his contract is so ridiculous, he's going to survive 2016 no matter the record.
The run game for Kentucky MUST produce SOMETHING! How they accomplish that is beyond me.
Kentucky's 3rd down defense has been putrid for most of the last 35 years, and last week was no exception.
It isn't Saturday in the SEC if Kentucky doesn't do at least one thing to kill themselves on special teams.
Overall, Kentucky's punting game is going to be awful this year. Both teams have players capable of breaking big plays in the return game, but only Kentucky seems to excel at killing themselves at least once each and every week in this phase of the game. What will this week's big error(s) be?

No chance we cover this weekend. Florida's practice squad boasts a better DL than we'll put on the field.
I was skeptical when you posted this because you're always ridiculously over the top about everything, but wow. I've read his breakdowns on and off for probably a decade or more and I think UK Football may have finally broken him. If there's even two clouds in the sky next Saturday, the attendance will struggle to get to 40,000.
