Cracks me up how ridiculously negative people around here are and have been wrt NJ.com/Ledger. We sucked for a long time and - surprise - they wrote negative stories. Local sportswriters want RU to be good as that means their articles get more attention. And Politi has been on the Schiano bandwagon for a long time. And yes, Greg is on to something this time around, just like last time and it's based on being honest and forthright with recruits, which builds trust, which is a hard thing to do in this business and it appeals to some recruits/players and their families and that's clearly reflected in Greg's building success.
You’re right . But the stuff they pulled with mulcahy isn’t something rutgers fans forget.
O bullsh*t, they were still dredging the depths for any negative story when we were doing good. Kevin Manahan way back when, took the approach that negative news sells and that's how they've been steered ever since.
Don't notice negative BS reporting from any of the Gannet NJ sportswriters. Carino, Iseman, and before Iseman there was the fine writer JP Pelzman (RIP). Gannet NJ (north jersey.com, app.com, mycentraljersey.com) employs journalists. NJ.com seems to favor hack columnists like Politi.
Nothing for nothing but NJ.com is a poor man’s substitute for what the Star Ledger/Newark Evening News was some years ago . It lacks quality sports writers who wrote many articles some which reflected a negative take on Rutgers sports but oddly they also were fair when Rutgers played well . Digital content bloggers is really what they are.
That wasn’t the sports writers to be fair, that was the regular news division. Although Politi I’m sure would tow the company line if ever cornered on it.
True. And politi has written some very good articles. His piece at legrand’s house was excellent .
To be fair there is only one Jerry Izenberg.
That dirtbag pushed a then 3 year old child to the ground who was next in line for Coach's autograph to ask, "Are you pleased with today's scrimmage"? I know because it was my child and my wife had to usher me away before I rammed his glasses down his pencil neck.
Excuse me Ass…. but it was about a sports writer and the content with Rutgers football. It has absolutely nothing to do with whatever your personal bitch is.As for “ your buddy comments “ F off . You act like the typical virtue signaling moron.
Long-time Rutgers fans and long-time S-L, NJ.com readers KNOW the history here. They know the many crimes against Rutgers these entities have committed.
P.S. "Are you pleased with today's scrimmage?"
You can choose either or. You were wrong to attack me in that post. You evidently are a 40 + something hyperbolic clown who takes his own inadequacies of common sense and blames anyone he disagrees with for his uncontrolled temper. BTW: he was a well thought of sports columnist. Sorry it happened but get over it .
You quoted before you saw the edit. I copped to being unclear, but that doesn't change a thing.
No you are an antagonistic DB …dementia? Trust this… if you actually understand that diagnosis then you are well on the way before me even . Thankfully I’m still at 74+ in better shape than 90% of that post age 70 group … 6’0” 205lbs. Full head of hair…a touch of grey on the sides. You 40-50 group would do well to remember this simple fact … you will get old too. Listen… what happened to your 3 year old son was wrong ( don’t know) and if Luicci did not apologize then he was wrong. However you ATTACKED my post and me personally. Should I tell my 6’2” 245 lb 48 year old ? Here’s the point… where in God’s name did you come up with “ your buddy” quote?
Sorry Numbers - But the whole crew at the Ledger lost what little credibility they had years ago when they orchestrated and railroaded Uncle Bob. Horrible people who don't deserve any trust - Politi is just covering his ass to make it seem he is fair - he isn't and it has nothing to do with our performance on the field.
Not that you'll read it because I'm now blocked but that was directed at what I'll simply refer to as "The Friends of Hurley" brigade (one lonely, also old person) who swoop in to defend his worthless honor when I post my tale about him from when I myself was a young person. I quoted your post because it involved Luicci, and it was quite honestly shocking anyone thinks he was a good journalist, but I also happened to know he's a crap human being as well (No, he did not apologize just looked at me as if the space was his to command and what was my kid doing there... at a Fanfest!).
You think Politi is worrying about a fanbase that doesn’t move the needle? Some of us think we are special. We complain about everything and anything especially the price of tickets and parking and let’s not talk about donating to the cause. We don’t show up until the end of the first quarter and we sell out one of the smallest power 5 gyms for one year in a row lol. As a whole we donate squat this fanbase has zero power.
