I think this is one of those situations where more than 1 thing can be true: - This, and Harrington's potshot at the kid PA announcer the other day, weren't firing offenses - Cancel culture can, and frequently does, go crazy, with destructive and irrational results - Harrington is an unkind jerk 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious to see how he defends it but looks like he turned off his social media accounts… His twitter is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it struck me that he was saying: I don't recall this situation specifically, but if I was shooing the kid away (which he knows he's done in the past), it was to protect the kid from something not age appropriate.

I don't think it's fair to go as far as you did. We don't know Mike. Of course we all engage in this sort of talk about politicians, athletes, celebrities, media personalities. It's part of a game and I imagine they, even an obscure sportswriter at TBN, know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Yea I hate the dude. Have for years. I wish those who share his tweets here could possibly find an alternate person who gives the same “important” info instead of Harrington.

While I'd like to, it seems that (a) that would be justifiable and (b) I don't have powers to arrest people. Not even @Taro T, who has committed many, many crimes.

Ignore the fact they suck and praise them every chance they get? I like that they call a spade a spade and don't sugarcoat everything just to appease the organization. The media should hold them accountable and they do that. I have no problem with any of them. That said, when the team starts winning and makes a playoff run they'll have something positive to say. Report the team is bad. No need to embellish or make things personal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, like he told the sniveling Pegula during an editorial board meeting on the day we met Terry, when the team wins the coverage will be positive, like it was in 05-06 and 06-07. It's really that simple. Terry was asking for positive coverage as a way to improve the team's performance, which was just about the stupidest thing I've ever heard and started the souring process. I'm not surprised by this take from you. ("Snivelling" is a nice touch.) As you said, this was right when Terry took over and already the local press had their knives out. What does that tell you?
