I used to consider him grade B, a step behind condomhead, but he's elevated his game. I don't read his crap anymore, but just looking at the titles of his 'articles' pisses me off.

Headline: Does Leonte Caroo Regret Returning to Rutgers?

Only quote from LC: "No, not at all," Carroo said. "Even after what happened to me, I still don't have any regrets. I'm excited, I'm happy that I came back and I'm happy I'm on this team. Everything is going to work out for the better so I'm very pleased that I actually came back."

Remaining 7 paragraphs: Rehash everything bad thing that has happened over the past few months.



I have regrets...I regret that this thread made me curious enough to go to nj.com for the first time since the season started.

You know what gang? The pain in my skull started to go away the minute I stopped hitting myself in the head with a hammer. Coincidence?

I feel the same way about DD and NJ.com. You'll be amazed how much better you'll feel once you stop letting them hit you over the head with their BS..

Raritan, i dont know why you feel the need to stick up for that site, maybe you are not familiar with their history but it is non stop negative articles... I went on before MSU and every article...what a joke they think they are catering to Rutgers fans because fans dont want that exaggerated nonsense....

I still love how their main description for the arrests is something like " a series of home burglaries and assaults... Wasnt it one or two attempted robberies (of a drug dealer no less not a home!) and it was definitely only one fight that the other 5 were involved in even though we dont know who exactly threw a punch or what provoked it... I dont see how this is a series

I am familiar with what people's opinions are, I just disagree and think people are overly sensitive. It isn't his job to write warm and fuzzies. That said I am wondering what articles before the MSU game you are referring to. Looking back at the ones he wrote I see:

An article on the keys to the game for a RU win, a Q&A with Keith Lumpkin, staff predictions, article on Carroo's statement about being back, article on us wanting revenge for them running up the score, article on what Carroo's role will be, another on the secondary being tested by Connor Cook, update on the alums in NFL, Purdue giving RU hope, injury report, etc etc

So based on that can you continue your thought about every article...as I am not seeing anything objectionable.

-No.

That's what always got me about their articles. It's one paragraph of new material than 10 paragraphs rehashing wants gone wrong at RU since the Revolutionary War. That's called having an agenda and why I stopped reading them.

yes it is his job to write warm fuzzies!!! He is a rutgers beat writer!! He is supposed to cover the team! Instead he is acting like an investigative reporter and digging up dirt on the team! Its constant with all of them over there...

Do you see these constant negative articles coming from Yankees and Mets beat reporters! Never! Tara Sullivans article on CC going to rehab the night before the playoffs was fuzzy...that b*tch hasnt said a nice thing about Rutgers in a while...i live in New Jersey and get Jersey newspapers and there is never any coverage except these hack pieces...this season there has probably been more on Michigan then Rutgers... I want rutgers articles that rutgers fans would want to read...there was never anything on the two Don Bosco kids returning for their senior seasons... Nothing on Kiy Hester returning and balling his *** off now...Nothing on the heart and will of Paul James returning from injury again...Nothing on the players who will replace the 5 arrested...nothing ever about winning the Lambert trophy for tbe 1st time ever!! I checked every day for weeks to see if the Lambert was gonna be in Herald News...not once!


But today we get Rutgers football GPA dropping.... Nothing about taking the #2 in the country to the wire, a team that demolished us last year...

They are hacks and you cant be a serious fan of this program if u are gonna stick up for steve politi and dan duggan

Wait a second, the post was about Dan Duggan. Now you are railing about media in general. The article you mention about GPA was not Duggan it was Sargeant. I agree that Politi has an agenda. I agree that since moving from Courier to Ledger Sargeant's pieces have a new angle to them. I agree Sullivan has an axe to grind.

In regards to Duggan once you move past his introduction with the Tyree story his articles have been fair which is all you can ask. As my posts before show he really hasn't had a negative slant and instead is writing on multiple viewpoints of the team (player profiles, keys to games, what we need to do to upset, status of Indiana's players...etc).

Even the Carroo article today, I think is fair. Is it not fair to ask a kid who could have been in the NFL last year and therefore not have been outside Hale after Wazzu if he wished he had gone?

The very first one pisses me off, actually. Why in the hell would Carroo have thoughts of regret after being speedily reinstated to the team and having near-MVP level numbers in helping his team go toe-to-toe with the #5 one in the country?

And after being told no, rehashing all the bad stuff that has happened since the beginning of the season is bush league.

Why would he regret? Because had he gone to the NFL he wouldn't have been outside the Hale Center and have the stigma (rightly or wrongly) of being someone involved in an altercation with a woman which could cause his 2016 daft stock to drop.

Someone writing the truth in the articles put out shouldn't be a problem for any RU fan,
but when the truth is spun into something more then it is, that's a problem.
The Star Liar spins many of RU's mistakes into bigger problems than they are.
Also keeps harping on the mistakes Rutgers has made far longer than necessary.

Remember the Liar is a rag that has put down RU for years and at one time it got so bad that RU Fans took out an ad to show how the Star Ledger was spinning the facts into something completely different than what was going on.
Even then the Ledger gave RU fans something to complain about about that ad, it placed the ad paid for RU fans in a section where hardly anyone went to.
That ad bought and paid for by RU supporters was placed in a section different from where it was expected to be when that ad was placed and paid for.

Those of you defending that rag or getting on those putting it down , should remember how that rag has covered the RU FB program ever since it started to make a move to get better.
You are right in saying RU fan shouldn't whine about not getting enough support from that lying rag, but you need to admit how they rag has opposed RU FB trying to improve and opposed it every step of the way any way it could :chairshot::mad:

We've been dealing with this for years with the star ledger!!! How can people defend them!! It drives me nuts!!! Im tired of Rutgers getting no respect around here!!

Every single person at work said something about the spike to me at least 20 people! But you know what my response was, but that means they were watching! And glued for that matter because it was the last play of the game so that means they watched til the very end... But i got soo many props for hanging in there with msu and im noticing casual fans are tuning in more...and every game i make it a point to bring people that never been before and they all are amaZed at what an electric atmosphere is and they want to come back...yet some lifelong season ticket holders are canceling their tickets for bone head reasons.... I was screaming my head off all game and when msu lined up for either the punt or fg i was the only one yelling at the top of my lungs block that kick! Block that kick! I didnt stop and other Rutgers fans were looking at me like i was nuts but what happened they blocked it and everyone went nuts around me and high five me!! We need true fans that support the team and the coach no matter what...some of you are miserable back stabbers...

How you gonna hate one Flood for the grade incident? he was stickin his neck out for his player...granted university rules not NCAA say coach cant talk to professors but Flood did what he was supposed to do and what we should expect him to as fans.. .. He didnt try to change the grade at all just went above and beyond for his player and risked his career for a player .... Yet some hold that against him...it was nj.com and duggan and politi that burned him on the cross for it and demanded he be fired! And you sheeple are starting to get brainwashed and are starting to follow them and stick up for them its a shame!

Glad we've got this value added thread - thanks

true... i get the point...

but, it's worth remembering (IMO)


too many times, some issue happens with star.liar and a few months later I see posts of how "maybe they ain't that bad"........ they are...

they suck--- they want controversy (even when none exists)... they don't care about RU except to sell clicks and papers...

never forget....

Summery in own words and not parts of article copied and pasted might work, as long as the idiot who wrote is mentioned and the biased media outlet that piece of yellow journalism was put in also is mentioned.

I mean we could include the links and most people wont click on them. Like the Caroo article all I need to know was he didn't regret coming back for another year and I'm good.

Cherry picking some articles written by the a-hole is easy. Why not post the others where he sh*ts on Rutgers.

I went right down the list from today through the entire week of MSU. Didn't exclude one. So I would not call that cherry picking.

Like I said cherry picking. Try researching his article starting from January 2015 and I'm sure it will be very different than the fluff stuff you found this week.

My advise for most of you. Stop reading SL and if you continue reading, stop complaining about it. Your ship is getting old...real old.
