You’ll get your attention the week of Egg Bowl Jr, lil fricker. Until then, let the nice MSU and Ole Miss fans here argue over which one of their mouthbreathing moron fans is less of a moron.

Me too. Since it was about Ole Miss, I knew it had to be him.

Steve is an obsessed, unhinged moron but his deranged obsession does end up leading him to some real dirt on Ole Miss. He makes me cringe, but he has lead to some entertainment. Overall, I wish he’d disassociate the program and go join Stingray in being a serial bandwagon fan somewhere else.
Yancy isn’t deranged, he’s just a complete fricking stupid piece of shite. He’s as dumb as they come.
They aren’t two sides of the same coin; they are two different flavors of shite.

I was made aware after the Lane Kiffin press conference that Devin Brown said he had not spoken to anyone about the quote I put about his visit that we put up on the tidbits. I sometimes use a stringer (someone who helps gather quotes) when we report on multiple visits so we can cover as much ground as possible. Devin said he didn't talk to the stringer. In my report it read that I spoke to him instead of classifying that it came from my stringer. I should have clarified that my stringer spoke to him. I apologized and told him we would immediately take down the quote, which we did. I'll never get help again on any visit weekend and will only go by my personal conversations with a kid. I sincerely apologize for this error in judgement to the Ole Miss community, 247Sports and most importantly to Devin Brown himself and his family.

How can anybody continue to have a career in any sort of "journalism" after doing something like this?

If Yancy Porter is breaking journalistic standards then the profession truly is dead

“Journalism” has always been a field filled with sham publications and journalists. You can actually find archived newspapers from decades ago where just about every article reads like it was written by a struggling 5th grader and 50-80% of the paper is just completely made up nonsense.
The news we have access today is honestly probably much more reliable than those circulating in the southeast 100 years ago, it’s just that people actively avoid going out of their political bubble for coverage despite having unprecedented opportunity to do so.

Why State fans suck Steve’s dick is beyond me. We have Brandon fricking Walker for crying out loud. We can all be honest with each other too and admit Robbie and Hadaad are a billion times better.

Oh. My. fricking. God. This is your best post yet. I just agreed with Plate again. You are a good man buddy. Steve sucks. Yeah the shite was absolutely hilarious when it happened but long term he is nowhere close to our best beat writer

I’m praying for your brother by the way. He doesn’t deserve what he is going through currently

I don’t know anything about hadad but I actually like Robbie. He seems like a very likeable guy
Posted on 10/11/21 at 6:27 pm to hiremikeleach
Hadad does a podcast with him. They are both elite especially after a win or coach firing

Stringers are common in journalism and I have been one, as well as a user of stringers back in my previous career.
Stringers either share the by-line or get a "contibuting" line at the end.
Yancey is playing fast and loose with the term Stringer.
He posted bullshite on Twitter, got called out, and made up imaginary interns to blame it on.

The free market usually takes care of the questionable pay site guys. If it’s bullshite, don’t pay for it.

This is the best way to feel about this. Ole Miss fans just need to go Barstool and support Mintzy.

Cancelled membership today there. It was just inexcusable what he did today
