Here is the "sportswriter" in question........
I feel that he "works" for the correct publication, the SportsCrow as he will be eating a lot of crow on this take over the years.....
About Pranav Ramasubramanian
An avid NBA and NFL follower who is a diehard Lakers fan. I live in Los Angeles and study at Santa Monica College. I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska which makes me a fan of their college football team, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and college basketball team, the Creighton Bluejays. Also a huge fan of the Eagles. Love sports and hope to major in sports journalism.

Buckeyes are best
This moron is over here acting like he's some sort of professional journalist: Pranav Ramasubramaniam is currently a student at Santa Monica College, and probably receives about $0 for each piece he has submitted to The Scorecrow over the past 1.5 years.
Here's a look at more of his question-asking prowess in action:

Amused that the Scorecrow, whatever the F that is, has higher standards than most other sports "journalism" outlets. I mean, "embarrassed himself and us [and] also doubled down." should be the epitaph for Herbstreit, not to mention hugely successful (financially) guys like Screamin' A Smith and Skip Bayless, and less successful but still known dim bulbs like Dan Le Betard, Clay Travis, McMuffin, and whatever the F a Stugotz is. Honestly, I kind of feel bad for this kid even if he is an idiot.

I'd feel bad if he wasn't so arrogant that he couldn't own his mistake. He dug his own grave. Maybe he'll learn from it

I'm sure he showed up to the interview with a 5 year plan that included asking dumbfuck questions at the combine.

Reporter to say at combine Okudah's play was 'sloppy' gets fired
The reporter that called former Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah play "sloppy" last Friday at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine has faced disciplinary action. The Scorecrow, a daily fantasy sports website, announced Friday on Twitter that it let Pranav Rama from its staff one week after a question about Okudah's 2019 season was inaccurately and aggressively delivered to the consensus All-American and likely No. 1 defensive back taken in the 2020 NFL Draft.
"Official Statement: We have let @PranavRama1 go from our site," Scorecrow said about Rama in the first of three threaded tweets. "His error in judgment and lack of research involving @jeffokudah at the Combine was inexcusable. We understand that people make mistakes, but Pranav not only embarrassed himself and us, he also doubled down.
"Instead of apologizing for the lack of preparation and moving on, he made the situation worse. It was unprofessional and does not reflect our values here at The Scorecrow. We strive to be accurate and give intelligent analysis in our sports coverage.
"Again, we apologize to Jeff Okudah along with our fans and readers. We will continue to bring you top-notch sports analysis, Fantasy articles, and DFS advice on a daily basis. We appreciate all of our followers and readers. Thank you."
Okudah met with the media last Friday in Indianapolis when Rama's question caught the 2019 Jim Thorpe Award finalist off guard. After gradual improvements throughout the 2017-18 seasons, Okudah broke out in 2019, not flagged once for a defensive interference or holding penalty while intercepting three passes and breaking up nine more.
"Sometimes you have a tendency to get kind of sloppy," Rama said. "How are you going to improve on that?"
Okudah leaned forward and squinted at Rama almost in disbelief.
"Sloppy in what way?" Okudah said.
Rama stammered before alleging that Okudah had a penalty tendency.
"Sloppy like with penalties and stuff like that," Rama said.
Okudah immediately took the inaccurate characterization to heart.
"I had zero pass interferences, zero holdings … so put the tape on again," Okudah said. "I think you might see something else."
One day later, Rama took to Twitter and revealed himself last Saturday. Instead of backtracking and offering an apology, he doubled down on his approach.
"So apparently I was trending yesterday because of how I pressed @jeffokudah," Rama said in the tweet. "It may be just be a play or two but those plays are the difference between a SuperBowl and a couch sitting at home. It's our job to ask the tough questions whether the general people like it or not."
Okudah found Rama's tweet Friday and was not buying the explanation, issuing an according reply. Six hours later, Rama announced that he was leaving Scorecrow, but his now-former employer clarified 30 minutes afterward.
Over 35 games in three years from 2017-19, Okudah recorded 83 tackles (one for loss), 18 pass breakups (three interceptions) and two forced fumbles (one recovery).
Okudah measured at 6-foot-1 1/8 and 205 pounds with 32 5/8-inch arms and a 78 5/8-inch wingspan before going out last Saturday and running a 4.48-second 40-yard dash, 41-inch vertical jump and 135-inch broad jump.

"Gets fired" sounds so much better than "let go"......

SKULL SESSION: CHRIS HOLTMANN IS “HOPEFUL” FOR QUICK KYLE YOUNG RETURN, MICHIGAN'S JOHN RUNYAN TALKS CHASE YOUNG, AND JEFF OKUDAH GIVES HIS BUCKEYE DB MT. RUSHMORE
FREE JEFE. Here is definitive proof that if you ask Jeff Okudah good questions, you gt good answers!
Jeff mentioning "throwing me on the ground" as the first description of what Terry McLaurin did to him in practice is extremely on-brand for the receiver who I assume has the most double kill blocks in Ohio State football history.
Also, the correct answer for the Mt. Rushmore was Jack Tatum, Mike Doss, Antoine Winfield and Malcolm Jenkins, though I certainly respect Jefe putting himself up there.
