this Facebook/Veazey Drama has at least accomplished one thing . . .

if they have, I haven't seen it. Of course I haven't looked very hard.

But when you're dealing with **** that even BORDERS things like NCAA probation, I'd rather him shut the *!#+ up. Consult with the AD office first before spewing rumors that could hurt the program you cover.

I'm sure this episode will help Veazey get that inside scoop from the University in the future.</p>

I didn't know his paychecks came from MSU.

and let it soak in Do you understand the role/responsibility of press? I realize this is not Watergate but damn, the man is doing his job. He's chasing a story.

why doesn't he chase down the Cam Newton buyout.

Now that's a story that would be front page and the Bamer's would gladly help.

and found myself getting pretty pissed (Darren Williams and Deuce McCallister come to mind). This story, reported correctly or not just doesnt even register to me as slightly important.

But I guess if it sells papers, it is thereby a story.

A profit game. Go figure.

Answer: it's not a rumor. All three players admit to it. Veazey owes no duty to State's athletic department; they don't pay him to be their microphone.

If it was a rumor which it wasn't, then you might ask football coaches, officials, etc., but it wasn't a rumor.

Well, if he is chasing the story..... he should chase the story, then write about it..... NOT, write about it then chase it.

but Veazey definitely has lit up the Rebels sphincters enough for them to be bombarding this board.

If he were vetting everything through the AD in hopes of garnering inside info, he'd probably be wearing jorts and would be joked relentlessly on this board.

Too bad, Rebs. We aren't making our act any easier for you to comprehend just so you can "get it". MSU recruiting will be all inside jokes, all the time from here on out.

All this can do is get more eyes on our program, in a negative way.

And if it DOES matter, then it's a big deal, one that guys like Veazey should tread lightly with.

He has no responsibility to Mississippi State. He has responsibility to the Clarion Ledger to break stories and report on games. This is a story.

No responsibility. But it'd probably even be in Veazey's best interest to not report potentially very negative topics until a little more research is done than facespace. MSU is the hand that feeds him, after all.

And you still haven't told me why it's newsworthy.

You definately tread lightly or you are either out of a job or transferred to doing local neighborhood festivals.

on the part of Kyle Veazy. I don't give a **** if it is UM, MSU, USM, pulling Facebook status updates is sorry as hell.
Yes the recruits put it out there, but journalist should exercise better judgement in what they report as news.

So, true.....two sets of sheep for sure.

Now, which set do you believe to be nonretarded?

So while you are channeling Veazy, why don't you ask him why he took down his original 'breaking the story' blog entry?
Let me save you the time, because he knows he was wrong on this one. But I agree with you cut it off, I am tired.
