Cioffi dissed by BTN

[ngrant]

BTN news teased with video of Cioffi's int, then after break Dinardo is narrating the recap of the game. Saving the "best play" for last he describes the action never once mentioning the name of the safety who ran it back.
Dinardo's from Jersey?

 

[Local Shill]

No, he's from New York. Same high school as Marco and Kyle.

Usually jerry Dinardo has been very favorable and fair toward RU, I'd give him a pass on this one

 

[jay_hq]

a diss is saying something demeaning about him or criticizing him.

not mentioning his name isnt exactly a diss. he probably just reads the teleprompter and they didnt put his name there.

 

[ScarletCrimson]

I thought the "diss" may have been a showing of the clip of cioffi getting destroyed by the receiver his frosh season.

This does not qualify as much.

 

[RedSpartan]

Hardly a diss, if you ask me. At worst, an oversight.

 

[greenknight]

Really a diss. Dinardo is an RU supporter

 

[DJ Spanky]

Not seeing that as a diss at all.

+1. Our names weren't on the uniforms, either, so DiNardo just called the play. DiNardo has been good to Rutgers in his coverage, as has the BTN staff--they are part announcers, part cheerleaders for BTN product. This is still refreshing to me, since the media coverage prior to this was negative in many respects.

The thin skinned crowd starts another non controversy:eek:

seriously........ especially re: Dinardo, who is nothing but positive re: RU.

At worst, he probably didn't think he could pronounce "Keeoffay" or "Cheehotay" :)

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

Duh.

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Not even close to a diss.

 

[Purple-Ed]

Did Dinardo say you look fat in a dress?

 

[ru109]

I thought that they would show the USF RB running over him if they wanted to dis him. I became a big fan of him that day because later in the game he blocked a punt that lead to a TD. That showed me he could put a bad play behind him and move on to the next play. That showed me a lot especially as a freshman.

He is usually lavish in his praise of us from everything i've seen and heard.

I love Gerry...he promotes RU and Jersey like a loyal son..

 

[IL Lusciato]

people are so over-sensative. Take a sip of beer.

Seriously? You waste our time for THAT???

 

[RutgersUnion]

Can we please get your definition of "dis" because this doesnt quality in the context most of us understand.

Warming up our overly sensitive emotions for the boards with plenty of time before season starts I see.... Too many posters spin things as disses towards RU similar to ESPN spinning anything to make the SEC the supreme race. BTN of all places has no agenda to slight anything or anybody related to RU.
