Cowboy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 -while being a sports editor should not imo preclude one from a being a fan or not a fan i would think it should preclude a sports editor from showing a bias -guess i am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesycow Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Eh not worth getting too worked up about I don't think. The P-D sports staff have all taken their cue from Joe Strauss on how to handle twitter. Be snarky at all times, and try to discredit all local teams (sans cardinals). Bernie's the only one on twitter who's actually reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 People can say whatever they want on Twitter. My own feeling is that his position shouldn't stop him from saying what he wants to say. Which is why I say: F this guy. Screw him and his Big 12 douchebag staff. What kind of name is Reid Laymance, anyway? Hopefully one that got him beat up a lot. Talk ###### when your team has the balls to play the team you're knocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year or next we may catch Missouri in the NCAA tournament and they will have to say how it was a fluke we beat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 What a dick. If this guy worked for me, we'd be having a little chat. Paper media is a dying breed and alienating a customer base with jerk off remarks aren't going to sell subscriptions. I'm totally in favor of free speech and saying what you want in any forum, but there are repercussions. He isn't a writer or a "personality", he is the sports editor....a position, at one point in time, that was highly sought after. To me, this just shows how far the PD and a lot of media has fallen (no offense to Mr. Bonwich, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The comment didn't bother me, but I hope the people selling subscriptions at the next SLU game understand marketing better than that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None taken, although I believe the "fall" was well before the most recent (recession- and Internet-induced) decline. Reid shows up on our org chart as Assistant Managing Editor/Sports. We no longer have a managing editor. The editor is Arnie Robbins and the publisher is Kevin Mowbray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 This year or next we may catch Missouri in the NCAA tournament and they will have to say how it was a fluke we beat them The chances of Mizzou and SLU meeting in the NCAA tourney are very small. 1) We both have to make it and there is an entire thread right now where some believe it to be unlikely SLU gets in 2) We have to have seeds match up to where the game can be played in the first couple rounds. for example, if SLU is an 11 seed, Mizzou would have to be a 3 or 6 seed to meet up. Even then, there is a 75% chance they would be in a different bracket. 3) If what people have said is true about SLU not being able to play in the St. louis regional because we are hosting the event, we can't be in that entire bracket. Mizzou, on the other hand would be a natural fit for the Midwest regional assuming they are a top 4 seed. The NCAA loves nothing more than selling tickets and Mizzou in the Sweet 16 in STL would do just that. I know some will talk about the early 80s when Louisville and UK met up but that is so freaking long ago. The chances of a match-up are so small...
