When is MORT getting fired? (Porter to play Thursday)

B.. B.. But Mort is Parcell's best friend in the world I thought?? I thought he knew it all?

 

Porter in versus Panthers

Mort was just giving his opinion.

 

If everyone who was wrong got fired, no one would be employed. Settle down there, fella.

 

Meh, he got some bad info an reported what he heard from a so-called "reliable" source. It happens.

 

Yah!

Now 2 sacks in 2 months is starting...brilliant.

 

Looks like Porter was simply benched to give him time to rest for a short week. Mountain from a mole hill.

 

Exactly!

Also, if you all remember, it was Mort who kept telling everyone Saban was headed for Alabama when everybody else, including Saban, kept saying he was staying with us.

I'd say Mort isn't going to lose any sleep about being wrong on Porter!

 

He was the one that said Saban WAS leaving ....

 

I don't think so. I distinctly remember - I think - seeing Mort on TV saying "there's still a chance he could go" even when all other signs pointed to him staying after he said "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach," etc. etc.

Anyways, who cares, it happens.

 

That second one was pretty funny

 

Mort gets paid to say something interesting and relevant to football, even if hes got almost no real sources, that gets people riled up and talking about, watching, or clicking to, ESPN.

Doesn't matter if you're talking about how he's always wrong, you're still talking about him. And that means he's done his job. he's not really a journalist, his priority isn't to the people. (I'm not really sure how sports writers got the term journalist added into their title to begin with, but that's another story..) It's to be a face on tv, or the internet, that people pay attention to. And even though people are paying attention just to find out what he's wrong about next, their still paying attention.

it's like Howard Stern, the guys biggest ratings came from people who hated him most. And the irony is that major news publications don't care if you like a guy or not, they just care if your tuning in. The higher the ratings, the more money they can get from advertisers, the better business goes. By posting links to articles that Mort has written, you're providing more clicks to his stories, even if it's to laugh at how wrong he is, which in turn helps him solidify his importance to ESPN.

 

only the Tuna knows

 

Hey man, I'm not the guy frantically scouring the internet for anti-Mort articles. He gets some right. He gets some wrong. He covers his *** by using the qualifiers "likely" and "I've been told that...". Big whoop.

 

Friend GardenHead:
got a good feeling about Ricky getting this start.
what happens if he blows the game wide open like he's done so many times before?
Brown is no match for Ricky @ his best & we'll see how Williams runs carrying the load

might prove to be an interesting side bar. I think he still has tread on those tires
Run Ricky Run!
wouldn't be the first time he's carried an offense somebody has to step up against the Panthers

 

Hahaha. My only other post was: "If everyone who was wrong got fired, no one would be employed."

If you want to feel better about yourself by claiming there are inconsistencies in my statements, that's cool. But you'd be wrong. Again.

 

I don't understand this obsession with the media...

 

the media will suck up to us plenty when we establish ourselves as perenial contenders

 

Mort started off really well and then someone gave him the title as the top NFL Insider.......it's been downhill for him ever since.

 

You're like a little dog that won't let go of my ankle. My posts are consistent and speak for themselves. They all revolve around the the idea that we all get stuff wrong and that its not really a big deal. If you want to characterize that as a defense of Chris Mortenson, that's cool with me.

 

That's the first thing I thought of I heard that Porter is playing Thursday too...

Mort is a tool, IMO.

 

Keep your hatred of the media in the POFO.

 

As I said. The same Mort who said Ronnie will be traded and Pat White would be throwing a lot. Mort is wrong more often than he is right.

 

he also said ricky would be traded during training camp last year.

 

link?

 

Fella's... cmon, leave each other alone if you can't be civil.

 

Hey GH, i hear what your sayin, my take is that irresponsible reporting just to throw stuff out there, can affect peoples families..

If i was a reporter i would have more integrity, and try to earn a reputation correctly...he's a reporter, not an analyst.....report, dont analyze and project.
