Official "John Hollinger is a Cunt" Thread

[geerussell]

I did notice that ESPN.com has sort of been "hiding" his power rankings so far. You really had to look for them up until the last week or so.

Now that they are sort of taking shape, look for them to be front and center more.

I feel the same way about this thing as I do the pre and early season college football polls, why not wait a few weeks before making yourself look bad by putting garbage out there?

The same reason that they print standings 1 game into the season and announcers throw around a player's "season" stats 3 games in... everyone starts early talking about numbers that don't mean much because the season is young. I think it's assumed that the audience understands to take them with the appropriate truck of salt.

Hollinger chat is starting now if anyone else is interested.

I sent in a few that he'll never answer.

Nic (Chicago): Stein and Simmons both thought an Amare trade for Sheed and Maxiel seemed like a great idea. Umm, great idea for Phoenix, but not Detroit? Amare plays bad D and Sheed and Max are way to good to give up for one. Is that totally biased on their part to suggest it?

John Hollinger: (3:27 PM ET ) I disagree 180 degrees. Great for Detroit, who upgrades from Sheed to Amare and can replace Maxiell's minutes with Amir Johnson. Lame for Phoenix, who trades a superstar for a 30-something with an attitude and some added depth.

Rob (Los Angeles): John, whats up with KG? He got off to a fast start and now he's missed double digits in 2 of his last 3 games. Whats the deal?

John Hollinger: (3:29 PM ET ) Yes, he's only been the best player on the league's best team and the unquestioned captain of a shockingly good defense. What's wrong with him?

John Hollinger: (3:29 PM ET ) Sorry for the snark, but gotta keep these things in perspective ... KG is fine.

I agree with Hollinger, the Suns would be stupid to do that deal and we'd be stupid not to.

[Big Swami]

Guys, I think Hollinger is bukdow.

[WTFchris]

I don't know. As stupid as Hollinger is, his writing is based on facts and numbers, something bukdow has a habit of ignoring.

[Zekyl]

Well he spends so much time digesting facts and numbers for ESPN that when he gets here he's just sick of them and tries to avoid them at all costs.

The deal is that Rob thought he lucked out on his fucking basketball fantasy team by getting KG, but now KG is playing team ball with a real fucking team and doesn't have to do 20/12/5 every night. Fuck you, Rob from LA.
