Seems to me, an article could be titled:
"Gotta love "journalism" were lack of talent can be overcome by being a good ol boy that can spell"

The article is a hack piece, and I don't care which recruit is the subject. Grey haired old men shouldn't be calling out HS kids for lack of effort, they should be praising the ones that exhibit that effort. He writes that article about a Dallas Cowboy - fine. Writing it about a kid that doesn't impress him - well that's when a adult should take the higher ground.
Second, why is this article now being written? Why, after national signing day does he feel the need to mention that a 18 year old is overrated and lazy. Why not write this after the game?

Some of you don't get it. You can spew whatever you want about the kid on this message board. No big deal.

But when you have an established audience and you use it to bash a teenager's work ethic, that's not very cool.

I will raise you and say it is BS to bag on these high school kids period. Damn straight they are immature, make dumb comments, sometimes even troll. However, at the end of the day I think it is wrong.

You're right, of course, Grizzly. It's just that the decision to be a dickhead on a message board isn't that far reaching. But good point.
