UF WR says now they have a real QB

Tebow is gone. If he was still on the team, I would understand. Plus, it doesn't look like the reporter baited the player or anything- which is maybe what the reporter wants you to believe, but I didn't see anything malicious there.

the insinuation is that Meyer didn't prepare Tebow properly.
Meyer obviously takes offense to that.

And he really needs to get over it. It's not their beat writer's fault that Tebow has crappy throwing mechanics and a weak arm. Geez, it never bothered Tom Osborne at Nebraska when he had guys like Tommy Frazier and Turner Gill.
I would, all his is doing is protecting his guy Tebow, and his turf.
Meyer has the power to ban, so just don't tread on his ****..or get banned.
Just like on 6P!...My house, my family.

Meyer's an ******* to everyone who injects -- NAY -- implies any criticism. Reseach that **** before you wax prophesorialnshit.

I am talking about a coach protecting a player and his team when a reporter is taking advantage of young men just to get a story. Yeah, the WR said it. However, in most places a reporter does not print that comment. Because, it implies that the WR was unhappy with Tebow and the coaching decisions. Also, the WR may not have meant it as a slight to anyone. He just made a poor attempt at getting his point across.
I guarantee if that comment was made by an Arkansas WR, it gets reported without quoting and spun to "WR thinks passing game will be much improved" or "WR thinks QB will be a great passer" or something along those lines. The actual quote never gets passed along.
But you are right, I miss spoke. Not everywhere but MSU......everywhere but the sixpack. Who was it? Jackie that jumped on Hampton's ***? Anyway, it says a lot when the first post in the thread can not even figure out why Meyer would be upset.

and Meyer can certainly ban a paper from practice, but that seems low bred to me. Of course, maybe he is. He needs to control his players - tell them to keep their opinions to themselves if they want to play for him - is what is seems to me.
Maybe he'd have been better to not get in teh shouting match with teh beat reporte and then bust his player a tme or two and then explain why. Players seem to remember thoselittle extra conditioning drills, when they understand why they got them.

they are looking to stir things up, dramatize ****, etc. And I don't understand why people eat it up so much, aren't people busy enough in their own lives than to look to others for dumb drama. These reporters are very sarcastic, opinionated and deceitful.
If these guys want to tell me their opinion, put it in the editorial like Cleveland or whoever does. Don't report your sarcastic agenda in supposedly objective reporting articles.

acting like he's so terrible and bagging on him ruthlessly and all that.....yet, he fails to tell his listeners that he and the Orlando Sentinel are pals. On the beginning of his show it says, "The Orlando Sentinel says, 'he's the most powerful media member in the SEC"

I bet reporters didn't expect to have to be reporting **** 24/7 about 10-15 years ago but if you are sports beat writer, it's expected.
I think the quote was blown out of proportion. The reporter had to go over the film to even catch it or else why didn't ask him to expound on the quote during the interview. These reporters hide behind the "i was just quoting him" defense when they know full well the player wasn't trying to knock Tebow. He said "real" when he meant "traditional". That much is obvious.
He wanted to get clicks on his blogso he sat this story on the coattails of the Tebow controversy.
Veazey does the same thing with his twitter feed. (don't get me wrong i like Kyle) He'll drop some info on twitter and then act ingignant when people get mad at him for repeating it. </p>

I don't understand why blogs and tweets can't be fact based. Especially when you're doing it under an official newspaper's name. Kyle Veazey can write whatever he wants if it was his personal blog or twitter, but let's face it nobody would listen to him if he wasn't the Clarion Ledger beat writer. And he uses entirely too much opinion, assumption, hearsayand sarcasm in his pieces, from tweets all the way to the articles.
And it's all because a bunch of losers eat up sports drama, so there's just a huge market for the garbage. If that's your bag, hey go right ahead. All I ask is for him to write objectively for the newspaper, that includes the articles and blog at the minimum. I'm just using Kyle Veazey as an example.

I don't expect to him to monitor facebook and tweeter and report on it. Nor keep a blog and tweeter account.
I expect him to report the facts without having to add what was tweeted, posted on facebook, and heard from a confidential source at the Sanderson bus stop.

or any other player on that team, I would love this move from Meyer. Honestly I love it anyway. I love a coach that will defend his players no matter what is wrote about him or said by ESPN. ESPN IMO is a joke anyway. They twist stories and make up anything that people will watch. I wish there was another sports channel.
