Who reads us?

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I always felt like if i were an athlete/celebrity, id be curious to see what people are saying about me on boards like this.

I hope Jordan Richards and Newhouse do NOT read this site.

 

[RobertWeathers]

That’s right, I forgot about her. She didn’t seem so bad then IIRC.

No she wasn't. Shes AB now.

CTE maybe.

We will know that various luminaries are reading our posts when they start stealing my lines.

I was a lurker here until Fnord outted me as a Jiffy Lube Swollen lug nut specialist. But it is what it is at this point.

...especially those who are the self-ordained mouthpieces which make it a point to tell you that they represent Boston sports for the entire world.

Otherwise known as the Boston Globe.

Or that pompous ass who tells you only he has seen Buckner, Boone, Dent, the 85 and 97 SB's, the 90's Celtics and the late 80's Bruins...etc.. you don't know if you're a real fan, you have not experienced losing yet....

The two people I know for sure that have are Mike Reiss and Mike Loyko.

I wouldn't....wallowing in all of that negativity can't be good for your health...

What happened to Loyoko? Didn’t the Twitter mob come for him after some old tweets resurfaced or something?

If reporters are getting their information from this board, that would explain a lot of the reporting out there.

Racist tweets or some **** like that.

Places like this are gold for guys like that. Like you said, pulse of team. They get immediate-knee jerk takes/extremes on both sides.

 

[Miguel]

I do. I know for sure a beat writer has read this forum. Why? They DM'd me in Twitter
about what I once said here.

 

[catent]

Yep, a series of incredibly racist tweets.

 

[203Pat]

Yep, a series of incredibly racist tweets.

What an idiot. If you’re going to have ****ty opinions you probably shouldn’t broadcast them for the world to see.

 

[Ian]

There are several media people who do, although probably not as often as years past because of Twitter. But I do still hear from a couple every once in a while.

 

[Mike the Brit]

I seem to recall Yates from espn used to post here but may be thinking of something else

You may be thinking of Mike Rodak. He was a very prominent poster -- a number 1 fan.

Sadly, I have experienced all those disasters but that doesn't make me a better fan than someone who was born after me.

I too suffered through those dark days but in my case it has made me the best fan ever.

I think some of them get their stories or angles here which is totally fine.

I can't prove it but I swear Doug Kyed used an OP of mine for a story he posted the very next day. He used stats I pulled and a couple of in-game observations to support his point. Can't remember what the hell I said though but I remember reading his piece in the morning and blown away.
