Phil Mushnick at it again ripping RU

[Local Shill]

I won't link to the lying asshole's piece but he hammered RU based on the HBO hatchet job.

Called the football team "taxpayer subsidized," got angry about the team staying in a hotel before home games and then re-hashed everything that happened last year.

That's from last week. I responded with a direct Twitter tirade.

Phil Mushnick is a twit. He really has nothing going for him at all.

My bad on not checking the date more closely. His next tweet from his dormant Twitter account will be his first, apparently. I'll check your Twitter account to see what you wrote. Thanks.

Dude is still mad either he or a member of his family never got one of these....

Mushnick's Wikipedia entry does not list Rutgers under "Major Targets", which includes Fatso and Sid Rosenberg among others.

Maybe he's smart and figures he needs to do any hit pieces now BEFORE the Big Ten money starts pouring in. Once that happens, any piece questioning RU sports should be laughed at imo.

Who's Phil Mushnick and why should I care? Another print sportswriter whose job dwindles every day. Yawn.

If we want crap out of him, we could squeeze his HEAD.

Phil Mushnick has been bad-mouthing Rutgers for the last 30+ years. In my day there was a somewhat reliable rumor to the effect that his daughter had been denied admission.

Regardless, he's a hack. He wanted to grow up to be Jimmy Breslin and instead grew up to be nothing at all. Nobody cares about Phil.

 

[hrdcorhays]

I grew up with his daughters. I think one is 2 years older than me, one is 2 years younger. Would have been HS graduates in 2000 and 2004 if that helps you solve that rumor.

I never read him regularly but he has become quite a miserable SOB in his writing. Guess its the only way to sell papers nowadays.

Doesn't master what these dudes say anymore. Rutgers athletics made it to the 'promised land.' Nothing these dudes can say changes that, and that must tick them off.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

This is just want I was talking about in that other thread.

Sadly, idiots eat this stuff up.

 

[TMCB]

I email mush every time he kills RU. To his credit he always responds. I think he does it for attention to his column, as he knows the real deal and future at Rutgers. I do enjoy him ripping Fransayso

Not so much a "lying asshole," but a "f#*ing hypocrite."

He's a paid shill for one of the very media empires bidding on and broadcasting college athletics, so when he rolls out that tired screed about taxpayers and tuition payers funding the excesses of intercollegiate athletics, it's his employer who's really funding the enterprise. I don't see him quitting his job in protest over his employer's role in the decline of Western Civ.

 

[BoroKnight]

To be fair, Rutgers is not the only thing he is an ill-informed hypocritical moron about. He used to be a frequent guest on one of the rock station's morning shows back in the 80s, and he had nothing useful to contribute then (and Rutgers never came up at that time, believe me). He's just an ass.

You're from OB? My friends grew up with them and lived in same development.

Phil Mushnick WHO? until this post never heard of the guy.
In review, he is just another NYC mud slinger trying to get attention.
Ignore them.... no they will not go away, but like shit will dry up in the corner and no longer stink.
And poster who writes him after ever slap at RU Please stop you only feed him to continue.
If he rips Columbia and no one replies he will stop.
They needs replies to continue

If my surname was Mushnick I would be bitter too.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Years ago Mushnick was a pretty good columnist. He did the necessary legwork and put out good copy. For more than a decade his columns have had absolutely no merit. He does no fact-checking or research whatsoever. He got old and lazy.

Yup. I graduated HS in 2002. They were from Springhill Village, I was from Central Park right across the 34. Went to Cheesequake Elementary school with that neighborhood and played baseball with all those kids. Still friends with several of them.I would bet I know your friends pretty well if they are in that age range.

To clarify I don't really know his daughters personally but definitely know the names and they are friends of friends.

Um, did anyone ask him to name one division I college football team that DOESN'T stay in a hotel before home games?

Ok I graduated in 01. Some of my good friends were friends with them back then. You probably know my friends from Springhill then.

To be fair, his issue is with all the institutional trappings of contemporary American FBS College Football played at public universities, not just Rutgers.

 

[PatrickRU92]

He's that classic old fart NY sports reporter who still yearn for the days of St Johns vs Fordham at the Gah-den being something that people care about.

Or to translate...some big dude probably stole his gf in college. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That's the "Hoops" guy, not him. LOL

They're all the same.

 

[srru86]

Mushnick is probably like the guy from Office Space that they cut off his pay check but he still keeps showing up for work.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

86, I think they fired him but kept paying him? For 5 years. Nice work if you can get it..
