What's kind of weird was the byline. Under his name it had, Special to the Times. I think that's what they use when they utilize stringers for reports on out of town games .... which kind of makes sense because I think Joey said they were using this guy until they found a replacement. Still not holding my breath on them doing that.

Did you look him up? He has a lot of diff hats he must wear. Has a few prior sports articles along with ours. It's one of life's mysteries I guess. But as they always say..time will tell

if he didn't pay for it and he reads it then to me it's considered stealing. That man deserves to get paid for his work. I too have a subscription and hope we always have a local news source.

I'm withhold judgement until I know if he's given his heart to CJL or not.

Ok so, I guess you enjoy being right and like to correct people..yea! you. I actually added on to my prior quote as part of my response. I figured nobody would actually spew out some bs about pay vs not pay and be serious about it. But, if it bothers you that I dont pay for a TBT subscription I hate it for you. It's a non-thing.  If it's a public shaming directed at me on TPB then....ok, I'm shamed....Take a breath Feel better 

clearly it's a non-thing for you but not to the men and women who try to make their living writing for newspapers.

you go ahead and think you're entitled to their work for free.....

my guess is this is just contract work. pay per article . probably the last step before they drop coverage altogether. our cheap fanbase can't afford to support our program let alone buy newspapers

Lordy! You still going on about this? Your fight is not with me(unless it makes you feel good) you should be railing on the INTERNET sites like Bleacher Report, etc that snatch the articles/work of these poor unfortunate folk and leave it out there for all of us(as accused) cheap folk to ah...on yeah, read. Just think I give a few bucks each month to TBP just so I can take a brow beating. Ha! "entitled" now that's priceless. 

Think Calm. It's still a non-issue. Go Auuuuummmmm

Looking him up would have been too sensible ...... like 94 said, thoughm probably a freelancer but hopefully, maybe, he can turn it into a full time gig with the Times ..... covering USF athletics, supermarket openings and flower shows.

I don’t hate him yet but I am canvassing anything he has ever written or posted either professionally or personally in search of a reason

I'm withhold judgement until I know if he's given his heart to CJL or not.

Bleacher Report doesn't post paid content for free. Pretty sure Brad doesn't allow it here either.

You can rationalize it all you want but the fact is you steal their work and you know that because you said you aren't going to pay for it.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
