I think the most interesting thing I have learned in this thread is some blogger and former USF grad whose job is to unload trucks at 3:30am (UPS unloader maybe?) is losing sleep over the potential game eligibility of a 2 year backup QB in the AAC.

Wow. That is not good. 

Couple things. Maybe consider taking a break from USF for the rest of the summer. Sleep is important. 3rd shift work is linked to all kinds of health problems so look after yourself. Sports seasons and players come and go so try and keep it all in proper perspective.

The guy is trying to build his career so he doesn't have to unload trucks. This is probably his first big time breaking story and he had a more established media member trying to squash his story and reputation along with it. Seems like a rational frame of mind to me

Which dude is this? Nathan? The guy picking a fight? I am so lost...

Just so I'm all caught up, who are the multiple sources?

That’s about the only part that interests me, but we’ll never know.  Who would have leaked Kean’s private info to an outside party?  Colby Erskin?

Chris Torello says Kean is currently suspended, but he hedged his earlier criticism by saying the process is still ongoing. So while it is true at the moment, it might not be true when the season starts.

Joey seems to have accepted it by re-Tweeting Torello's Tweet.

The process is still ongoing.

And the final result is yet to be fully determined.

But those close to Kean say this is going to be put behind him and he will be full-go, as reported this morning.

But the PROCESS is not done yet.

 

 

So the process is still going on, with the possible impact ... 4 games, 2 games, 0 games possible suspensions ... being 2 months away .

I'm sorry, this was a ********, way too soon, totally unprofessional bit of "journalism", IMO ..... but great for the offseason on the ole TBP.

I’m not sure that either Joey or TDS come out looking good after all this nonsense. 

Presumed QB1 and whether he plays or not during the first four games of the season is (or at least should be) a huge deal.

Our “beat” reporter reacts via Twitter from a baseball game (I know, he was covering), and our fan blogger seems a little too eager to report as fact something that doesn’t appear to be final.

I don’t agree with part of that from both of you. It’s like reporting in baseball someone has an 8 game suspension but he’s appealing it. It might be reduced to 6 games, but it’s 8 right now. That’s a fact no matter how the process plays out.

Actually, my quibble (and that’s really all it is) is that the report from TDS should have been that Kean *could* be suspended for up to four games, not that he *will* be suspended.

Beyond that, they each seemed to have different sources saying different things. At least TDS broke the news that it was an issue for Kean. Don’t recall seeing anything about it from Joey.

Yes, Nathan. He put out a breaking story and JK tried to squash it with his usual level of laziness. Nathan was doing what a good reporter should do. Got a scoop from multiple trusted sources and reported on it. Joey shot off a couple texts and looked no further into it. Then again I'm surprised he has anybody to text considering his usual level of work.

So nothing is final. Again why on earth did Nathan write a "breaking news" story that Kean IS suspended for 4 games?

Because he is unless his appeal comes through. He is currently scheduled to be suspended for 4 games, that's the reality of the current situation.
