LifeSurge and Pablo Torre story

And legitimate journalists use underhanded tactics.

1) This is twitter. 99.99% of people will not read this.

2) Read this sentence and tell me whether it implies Urban is the scam artist:

Three Ohio State football players, Urban Meyer and Kirk Herbstreit (and his dog) headlined a Life Surge event in Columbus:"I was stunned that it really wasn't a bigger story... These guys are literally funneling well-intentioned, financially illiterate Christians into a meat

You shouldn't need to re-read other things it to realize what's actually being said. But that was his intention, because he knew:

- Trolling OSU
- attaching it to these characters the face of CFB in Kirk, the 2nd best coach of the previous 20 years and a highly controversial dog

would generate massive ratings:
Quoting DJ Byrnes is certainly a choice by Pablo.

There's an actual story here full of ugly details. It doesn't require idiotic tactics to get people to read about it (or maybe it does, which is sadder)

This was my take away as well. Is there a legitimate story, yes.

Are there tactics that journalists use to make it more sensationalized, to stir the pot for clicks, subscriptions and awards? Yes
The "I was stunned it wasn't a bigger story" is a tell.

I didn't know who DJ Byrnes is, and looked him up. Interesting choice of source for the story as it relates to OSU. Apparently he has been arrested for harassing people, and is some sort of controversial progressive firebrand. It looks like he has separation of church and state concerns with the university, and the religiosity of the players.

I am not saying that the story is illegitimate, but journalists definitely use sensationalizing tactics, and gaslighting to drive buzz, then innocent parties end up have to explain it away.

CB Devin Sanchez (Official Thread)

exhawg
My question is: did Iggy get better at not getting PI's last year or did the refs get used to him being physical and let more slide? Probably a little of both. In all honesty, some of Sanchez's issues might be due to going up against Smith in practice and being able to get away with more. When you go up against humans rather than an alien, those little grabs get called.

CB Devin Sanchez (Official Thread)

Does Sanchez have an issue he needs to work on? Yes.

Would he have anywhere near the same number of PIs if he were covering #4 and having the exact same contact with him? We all know the answer to that is no. Refs need to be more consistent with their calls. He's had some ticky tack calls go against him (and some that are legitimate).

They ran that play against Iowa (I think), too. It's actually designed to have the QB be a blocker. It's either the dumbass decision it sounds like on paper, because it'll get your QB hurt.......or a brilliant move by Whittingham, because it'll get his QB hurt.

In 2013, Nebraska had some nerd named Burkhead or Burkhart or something on their team. Running back or Fullback or something. They used to put him in for a wildcat guy, but he'd get right up under center. Then he'd hand it off and turn around and dive up the middle as the lead blocker. It looked really awkward. Like, the running back had to wait to get the ball then he'd have to wait for Burkhead to get out of his way before he could also drive up the middle.

Using your quarterback as a lead blocker doesn't seem to be too great of an idea.

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

I’ll jump in to try to explain. Two things can be true.

1) He is THAT good.

And

2) He is not doing what the coaches have asked in order to earn the playing time and show his talent.

Coaches can’t stop him from being late or taking lazy practice reps or posting dumb social media things or any other off-field immaturity things he may have going on.*

*that is speculation and random examples. I have no insight - the kid isn’t breaking laws but Day has clearly challenged him to PRACTICE better.

I want the offense to find another spark. I’m rooting for him to get on the field bad. I think Bey is going to be special (here or elsewhere)…but there’s a team culture and expectation of earning things the hard way. That hasn’t happened.

Don't waste your time with somebody who states outright that he refuses to understand such an obvious and simple concept.

Jeremiah Smith also has a real QB throwing him the ball. I'm sure it isn't all the WRs fault. Give them the kid from Illinois, and I'm sure they would be better. Hopefully they never do.
