However, if you need me on that wall, it can be.

The guy clearly has an agenda, but nothing I have seen has been false, and everything has been public record.
Everything but the story that Akrum's mom called begging for a schollie for her youngest. I don't believe that's been confirmed anywhere.

I just looked at my bank account for the first time in awhile and it looks like I now make $775,000 per year.

The funny this is that despite getting trolled by this account any one of the beat guys could easily reach out to confirm any of the comments made by that handle. In true journalism you sometimes get leads from seemingly crazy or impossible sources. That’s why you need to take the time to build relationships, vet people, and occasionally get in the mud.

For example, it should be very easy to ask Wadleys mom behind the scenes if they in fact reached out to iowa on behalf of the younger son. Make her answer the question. but they won’t do that because the wrong answer would crush the narrative.

It also appears everyone is in full pandemic freak out with positive tests on players coming up.

Unless people truly realize that nearly every single player is going to get this regardless, life is never going to go on.

No, not “everyone” is in “full freak out”, spazo.

There is no substantive difference between playing sports now, two months from now, or even a year from now. Even if we get a vaccine by the end of the year, it takes a lot of time to produce it, distribute it and get it administered to a critical mass. Moving on in a manner calculated to mitigate risk in the interim is not at all unreasonable, notwithstanding the collective wailing of the sports media.

And it's the way they think it's not obvious that everyone notices

Sports would be much better without the people that report on sports.

Pat Harty has thick skin? He shit his pants because someone mentioned his dog. He follows like 8 people. He instantly blocks anyone who is critical of his “work.”

LOL, come the fuck on.
Agree. Blocking peeps is a puss move

Are you still crying because you tried to stalk me online in another area and I blocked you, you fucking pussbag sissy?

I blocked you because you're a psychopath.

Isn’t being blocked by hawkize more of a blessing?
It's like when my SIL made 2-3 excuses before finally just not coming to our wedding. My wife was a little offended until I asked her point blank if she'd have invited her in the first place had there not been the risk of fall out. Of course the answer was no.

Basically, @ivan_drago , you're like my crazy sister-in-law but with a twitter account.

Yeah, it sounds just like that. Good one, Herky.
