He only mentions Cardinals and Mizzou talk. No thanks. https://theathletic.com/94712/2017/09/06/rutherford-letter/ He said that he heard TheAthleticSTL is in the works, it’s not a done deal yet. He was hired based on their push for NHL coverage right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 this article should be titled: Hochman: I can't miss an opportunity to shill for Cuonzo Martin and Missouri http://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/benjamin-hochman/hochman-ford-has-billikens-basketball-pointed-upward/article_eae96f99-0efb-589e-abcf-60d2edc6e073.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=user-share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that one paragraph had been omitted it would have been a good piece. Still, what a d0uche add-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to up there with the least insightful/informing sports writers in the country. That said, in confident he does not pick the titles for his articles.

Billiken Rich Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm about to sound a thousand years old but the sentence "Man, remember then?" was enough to remind me why newspapers are dying and journalist now ranks below lawyer on the list of respected professions.

bonwich Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Ahh, y'all missed two subtleties in that article: 1) I could see the point of tossing in Mizzou and Illinois because of the whole "wow, 1989 was a golden year in St. Louis basketball" -- except that Hochman was eight or nine years old in 1989, so it's very doubtful that he can "remember then," man. 2) Did you see the cutline on the photo? Huh, huh, didja, didja? "Saint Louis head coach Travis Ford watches during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against BYU, Monday, Nov. 21, 2016, in Las Vegas. (AP Photo/John Locher)" We MBMs simply must have a recurring *****-fest about how we're actually Saint Louis University, or it just isn't the board. Insider scoop: That cutline was provided by the AP. Official AP Style is Saint Louis University. In a bit of either irony or arrogance (or both), the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is one of the few newspapers in the country to violate AP Style and go with St. Louis University, as in the lede paragraph of the article. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't remember a time when P-D sports columnists didn't lean heavily toward Mizzou. Hochmann is just extra douchey about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he absolutely remembers. This was right around the time he was becoming pen pals with Miklasz and giving his first TV interview reviewing the Tudor for Guerrero trade. Say what you will about that little hobbit, but his love for St. Louis sports is longstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, Mizzou folks love them some Grawer. He's got that Missourah pedigree and made SLU NIT-level decent, right where they like seeing us.
