Nah that's fair, I'm responding mostly to the thing about Rothstein being criticized for tweeting game stats
Board is quiet
- Thread starter fluoxetine
- Start date
No. It’s because *yawn* beating the #1 team is old hat….
Journalists and skip Bayless knew what was going on. They are glued to Twitter and there phones must have been blowing up. They know better, the common joe could have missed it.
Know better than.. what?
From what I understand Bayless was tweeting something about the logistics of THAT game so I'll let that one go, but Jon Rothstein is not supposed to tweet college basketball stats because of this? Why?
It could have waited an hour or two out of respect given its sports related and the stats aren’t life or death.
Unlikely. He'll be playing next year. Happened to Christian Erickson of Denmark in the Euros. He still plays. Just with an implant defib device in his chest. A few soccer players have them.
I was in post-game euphoria and had no idea what was going on in the football game, other than the post I responded to (which I thought might have been some sort of hyperbole, since the thread was a joking thread, so I was just continuing with the joking). Obviously, after tuning in a few minutes later, I saw what had happened.
It's just tragic, although having said that, just imagine the outcry we'd see today if we had the kind of violence that used to exist in football: in 1905, 18 college football players died during games, leading to a bunch of rule changes to reduce the violence (including legalizing the forward pass). The game is far safer than it was before, which is why nobody has died playing in the NFL in over 50 years - doesn't mean the paralysis we've seen a few times (including our own Eric LeGrand) and the concerns over CTE and other debilitating injuries aren't real and serious.

Not sure I understand what you mean exactly, but probably just agree to disagree on this.. seems like a matter of personal opinion that isn't likely to change and isn't "right" or "wrong" necessarily
Donovan Mitchell had a 71pt/10ast night
NBA social media is all over it.
Players tweeting about it and everything.
A lot of sports stories tonight actually
Hamlin unfortunate situation
Mitchell historic game
Nets 12 game win streak
Rutgers beats #1 Purdue
The MNF story is THE news story, not just sports story, throughout the country tonight
I watched the game on delay as we were having family time first, so that's why I avoided the board earlier. I turned to ESPN after the Big Show talked about us, and that's when I saw the Bills story.
i dont see the issue. why cant he tweet other stuff going on. Life doesnt stop. The whole world isnt invested in MNF. There are major accidents that happen across the country. You know people are killed or a terrorist attack happens or people run over and life still goes on. I find it odd that because its sports somehow everything has to stop.
