D3 Recruits 11-12

Re: D3 Recruits 11-12

What I find ironic, and sad...is all the sanctimonious rhetoric about accurate reporting by a scribe in a Canadian newspaper. Demanding a retraction?

Yup all this coming from the land of some of the most trusted, accurate and concise reporting known to mankind...

"Dewey Defeats Truman!" :rolleyes:
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

What an acutely comparable citation the Chicago Tribune's 1948 "Dewey Defeats Truman" gaffe is to a sports journalist who doesn't know the D-III scholarship facts and neither he nor his editor bother to research those facts before publishing an article. :rolleyes: It's not a huge deal...just not good journalism. That's my opinion and I don't much care if you like it...or if misinformation of this nature is common. It's still lazy journalism IMO, despite any press at all being a positive thing.

Demanding a retraction?
Yeah...I demanded a retraction. Exaggerate much?

What I find ironic, and sad...
You're often saddened by posts of mine and other Americans. You're kind of an emotional drama queen aren't you? C'mon...get it out...what other emotions are you experiencing at the moment? We all want to know and be there for you. Anything I can do to help you get over your sadness...just say the word. :rolleyes:

I do get chuckles out of your frequent use of the "sad card" always attempting to artificially inflate and bolster the contempt you believe everyone should harbor for my opinions.

I'm deeply saddened Canadians don't hold their journalists to a higher standard of topical knowledge and accuracy...deeply saddened... :( :rolleyes:

I have, and I read retractions and corrections almost daily. But I guess you feel that means I can't criticize a Canadian publication? I often criticize local American press as well...did so just a few posts back.

Yes please, let's start all over.
Oswego has two players coming in from Durham Jr Lightning - http://www.durhamregion.com/sports/article/183088

Congrats to Carly Marchment, Emily Marks and Melissa McIver. All the best in the upcoming season. (P.S....Any relation to the Marchment from NHL fame ?)

Wrongo Brookster...he'd only have to read Winki's posts...and he'd be one sorry sweetie!

I think it's funny how Dinki and the other clown seem to think a D-3 player isn't recruited because of hockey talent, combined, with probably more skill with a pen than the average D-1 player. What do you think about that? :eek: Marchy will back me up on that one, if I need it. :rolleyes:

Not nearly as laughable as when you so often erroneously believe you're sharp enough to know what others think. That's an absolute riot! :D Point me in the direction of the post(s) that indicated anyone thought D-III players weren't recruited with any consideration of their hockey talent as well as their academic prowess.
