OT: Abdul, a new legend is born


Edit. Apparently there is another thread on this. Sorry mods.

Guy motivates runners with sign and then tells ESPN to F off when they wanted to use his twitter pic. Also tells NFL network they could use it if they credit it to Abdul Dremali: super famous scientist. Lol.

A spectator at the Boston Marathon motivated runners with a '28-3' sign

 

[shmessy]

LOL! When will they ever learn?

My guess is that, with all the turnover in Bristol, the newbies simply repeat the same misguided mistake.

Why can't ESPN actually pay one of their own photographers to attend the race? Are they that badly off that they can't afford it?

Yes.

 

[Koma]

LMAO, and now they blocked the guy.



Stay winning.

That's something I've been wondering about: Do these kind of responses register with anyone at ESPN or do they just say "He/she declined" and move on? The fact that they blocked this guy indicates that they are paying attention and this is the fourth or fifth response like this that I remember seeing.

ESPN will never have a moment of introspection and admit they were the NFL's mouthpiece in defaming the Patriots, but I wonder if any other journalist sees things like this and decides to look into why Patriots fans resent that company.

I'm pretty sure everyone at ESPN knows why New England fans hate them, Patriot players have refused to go on their sets after wins covered by ESPN and the response they get in Foxborough is vitriolic. ESPN is going to be hated by Patriot fans for years to come. The only time I watch them is when the Patriots are on, they went from being a staple of my sports tv to virtually non existent.

Lazy crowdsourcing... and worst of all they don't even pay people for the stuff they use. At the very least they could send a small fee like a hundred bucks for symbolic value.

Kinda hoping Blandino has gone to ESPN then I don't have to boycott another channel

I'm sitting in a restaurant eating lunch by myself. When I saw Abdul's awesome tweets, I laughed out loud. Loudly. People staring at me. Dont give a f**k.
That was awesome.

 

[Gwedd]

Hall of Fame right there.

The Pats ought to make a montage/collage of all those tweets and pics & replies, and hang them next to the tractor from the Miami snowplow game.

I'm old enough to be a grandfather, yet/and I take so much pleasure in this, I feel like a 5 year old that just ratted on his older sister.

Great article that sums up how BSPN f'ed up in the minds of PatsFans worldwide.

Patriots fans continue to stiff ESPN, showing fractured relationship may never recover
