****** grammar and inaccurate. Any douchebag with a keyboard is now an internet supah-stah

I don't mind the rating and I think we probably end up with less than 9 wins this year, I just can't stand reading an article where people are too damn lazy to proof read and take zero time to understand the subject matter.

Lazy *** article. Fred Smoot and Jerry Clower were our GOAT??

A case could be more easily made for Jerious Norwood, Johnnie Cooks, Kent Hull, and Eric Moulds.</p>

...Reads like he's from the mid-West, and normally writes Big 10 articles. <div>
</div><div>I find it funny when fans of a school call a writer an "idiot" for not getting every little fact about a school right. Remember, we tMSU internet nuts know most things about our school down to the tiniest details, while a writer takes a cursory glance. Him writing about tMSU is like one of us writing about who's going to win or lose in the PAC 12 this year...most of their internet fanatics would call us "idiots" for "not getting our facts straight" if we didn't get every little thing right.</div>

But I'm going to draw the line with this particular article. As far as being ranked as 28th in his top 40... to be honest that doesn't bother me in the least bit and I don't think too many people are voicing their concerns as far as that. However, it's harder to take someone seriously when they get relatively easy details to find wrong like the last time team x won a bowl or their school attendance. Not just that but anypertinentinformation for that matter. If you're going to include it, it's your job as a journalist to get it right. Whether it's your region to keep up with it or not doesn't matter. <div>
</div><div>edit to add: It's also terribly written. If they really have someone editing their articles and getting paid for it.. he deserves to be let go.</div>

If you can't be bothered to go to a team's online Media Guide then you really should not be writing sports articles about them. I would say it's lazy, but the fact that they didn't even bother to proof read the damn article for mistakes trumps that laziness. The information is out there, if you want to be a writer then don't be a lazy prick, show at least a little pride about it.
