Dude, there are literally people who are paid to do this. And we are literally on a forum where we express our thoughts and feelings about the things those people say (or don't say). That said, they are reporting on the names that most people know. But training camp battles seem like low-hanging fruit. But I guess they don't want to sound like idiots when they hype up a guy that gets cut the next day.

U aren't being serious are you about this? People have lives outside of going to camp...and media job is to report actual stuff...not regurgitate meaningless fluff...or stuff that isn't directly related to position battles...especially if they want to.put their lazy stories behind a pay wall...I've been to.practices where 3..4..5 "reporters " are yucking it up with themselves and then practice ends and are like "well who stood out" They have no clue....also we need reporters with some.onions to ask questions....challenge what the coach is saying...ask for what's and why's...they a bunch of sissies who allow Osh to continue with his smug comments and never question his stubbornness at times about stuff...and his clear biases on some things/players.. That's 80 percent of why a lot of our coverage is sub par...cowardice and laziness Good example from last yr...Parker was ready to go a good month before they even contemplated it...looked best in practice drills and in skelly...one time in a pinny a couple reporters were even "oohh...who's that guy" then realized oh its Parker...I even asked Parker about a month before his first time back in lineup when he figured he be ready...said he ready for a while now but "it's not his time" and could tell he was frustrated...

Honestly though. If people actually remember "back in the day" when the reporters were all at practice and writing stories every day, none of us were satisified. We would sit here every day and complain that they weren't watching practice, they would still just type up whatever coaches were spewing during the interview portion. Don't try and re-write history now people. You were all just bragging about how long ya'll been on the forums, can't pretend things you were ever happy with media coverage.

Yes assuming we wanted to do it bad enough, we could all make time to pursue that. But I suppose unlike you, some people have other priorities that trump certain activities. And gosh don't you know it'd be real nice if there was some kid of organization or individual etc etc that could head to those activities and either remember what they saw or take notes/videos etc and then share what they had with other people. I might even pay for that kind of time saving convenient (what should we call it...) "report". I understand that selling convenient things to people is a foreign concept. But I imagine eventually it will catch on.

It’s not a stupid point LOL anyone who posts here is obviously a big fan, but a big fan who can’t even support their team during training camp like what? You said you were interested in camp battles? Okay then go check them out tor yourself? Why is it a foreign concept to actually go support your team in person if you cared enough too instead of bitching and complaining about the media.

Whoever plays Dallas deserves to lose. Central more competitive than the pacific dallas in less than 7.

Media is putting out stuff. It’s just not stuff the hardcore fans here on Mbb.com want. But they are putting stuff out. Sure but how many ppl really truly give a **** about the pre season and training camp? I’m not sure the masses do. I know we all do on here but perhaps we are the vocal minority

They aren’t covering what makes up 90% of sports journalism. Personal interest fluff pieces aren’t what the majority of sports watching fans want.

Yeah, you’re right. If I wanted to do it bad enough, I would. I don’t want to do it bad enough. I want the media to do their job. Are we even having this discussion? Like what stupid point are you even trying to make here?

To be fair, they are. They just aren’t covering what 85 people online want them to. Just saying. I’m part of the 85 btw so I get what you are saying.

We dressed 12 ol, I imagine Eli just leaving time and reps for the rest. Vanterpool plays both iirc, they may want to get one imp G reps in case Nuef isn’t good to go. Must be the super deep jets play off run soaking up all the attention… or the mega early goldeyes spring training with all the news worthy star additions… or the raptors no can’t be that… blue jays… oh yeah no. The local sports news has a whole lot of nothing else to cover, and the most interesting tc in this teams great era to cover but instead does sweet fluff all.

Or .. on the dawn of a new season .. the sports media can cover the most successful franchise this city has.

Yeah damn it Mike, it’s your fault entirely that the local reporting industry is failing to do its job! As soon as you’re done taking your vacation time to leave work, (dont bother with the family you would normally commit that to they aren’t important) go and scout camp then fill in for the failed reporters, report to each emergency room and start working on knocking down that lead time. Then any other system that has failed you and led to complaints will need to be fixed. Too much to expect accountability and professionalism with in the respective industries the onus is on the people let down to fix every thing!

You get Holliday time? You get time off? No one to blame but yourself. If you wanted to do it bad enough you would. But you spend your time complaining about it on here instead.

I actually do work seven days a week but thank you

Curious that Eli is not on the roster. Curious that Vanterpool is at guard not Tackle. Wish I knew more about Hackett and Witherstone who are starting at HB tomorrow. I hope Gemmel or Moses takes the reigns at MLB.

Coleman was really great in a limited role as Hanks's dad in You've Got Mail, one of my all times faves...

I'd like to introduce you to my wife and after that, my boss. Who you may think are one and the same. But I assure they are not.

a little harder for us guys out here in the hinterlands tho...

He was also in Tootsie, War Games, On Golden Pond, and most recently on Yellowstone as John Dutton Sr. He was in lots of things. "Character actor" as they call them.

How is Tony Ortiz doing?

The media coverage is pathetic I didn’t deny that but you said you were curious about training camp battles? Get your butt out there on a day when you’re not working and see for yourself. It’s not a difficult concept, you’re a fan, you don’t work seven days a week, go see for yourself.

waiting to hear from Paul Friesen that Manase Foketi is having a fantastic camp...lol...ok I do that joke every year but man...frustrating...
