Gregg Doyel is still stuck on Deflategate

[Joker]

you're a better man than I,PFK...I used to pick the wings off flies when I was a kid...seems I still have that propensity all these years later...:-(

 

[Huckleberry1]

I had sex with his wife.

I believe the technical term is "his partner."

If I click then will somehow validate Doyle and his warped view..

In days of Yore Rodney would call this "Bulletin Board Material".. so when Brady tears up this D and runs up the score, will look forward to an exuberant celebration by #12 which is about as good a a good old fashioned, "***** Slap"!!!

Doyel writes a lot of articles slamming the Colts. To assume it was Patriots fans is a little insane considering he lives in Indianapolis. How many Pats fans actually live in Indy? It is more likely a Colts' fan slashed his tire.

But Doyel is so mentally unbalanced, I wouldn't put it past him to slash his own tire to blame Patriots fans.

I think this makes a helluva lot more sense than the notion that he wrote his article and that some random Patriots fan happened to know the type of car he drove, and where it was located at the time, and then slashed the tires, all within a few hours time.

I feel bad and have deep sympathy for what he is going through. At the same time, I agree that that is something he could do.

The Pats are playing the Colts this Sunday. Local media douche writes an outrageous article to fire fans up for the game. Case closed.

Did you even look at the pic? That jagged gash was clearly caused by and impact with a yellow painted curb. A slash from a knife would be a lot smoother and wouldn't leave paint all over the tire.

Pretty much. My opinion on Doyel is still that he can go **** himself.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I am aware of Doyel's struggle with depression. I wish him well.

I will not click on or read anything with his name attached anymore.

Regardless of his emotional struggles he is a 1/2 assed, glorified blogger, loser troll who in the world of journalism has zero credibility. I have read his other stuff and he is just downright negative and nasty. I don't know if his personal issues are influencing his writing. The problem is that I am drawing that conclusion. That is probably unfair to him but sometimes perception is reality.

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

We are talking about him, so he is achieving his goal. Doyel is a master troll. If you thinking starting a thread, pointing out his logical inconsistencies and stupidity will somehow defeat him, you have already lost at his game.

Does anyone know how well these kind of writers do financially? I suppose from the newspaper's point of view, it doesn't make sense to pay a real journalist a real salary when you can hire a moron for $50 and get the same amount of web hits.

I really am curious about whether people can actually make a decent living by simply writing this tripe. Does he have a day job? A trust fund? Mow lawns on the side? Deal meth?

Anyone know?

Won't bother linking to today's column* (I follow Fitzy on Twitter, as I'm sure some of you do, so you can get it there), but Doyel seriously has issues. It's embarrassing how much his columns meander and whine. I know mental health is nothing to laugh at, but his editors really need to intervene.

*OK, gist:

"We" thought this would be Brady's first game, but instead he and the Pats have been awesome and it's the Colts who have been terrible and have their franchise QB returning rusty (and ailing). Then he shifts with what I guess is supposed to be a transition:

If this is me playing the lame homer card, fine. The Patriots cheated the team in my city. Residents of Indianapolis and the surrounding areas, you give the Colts the best you’ve got: money, emotion, more. The Patriots rigged the AFC title game. Cheated the Colts. Cheated you.

Then he says his argument (the Pats cheated), might be a "strawman," which is a "dishonest" tactic, so "perfect for the Patriots." Riiigghhht. Then he goes after Pats fans for being beligerent (Hey Greg: Our attitude came in handy around 1776, so just thank us) in saying the Pats are rolling because they are mad. "As if the Patriots have any right to their anger." Funny stuff.

Then, oddly, he closes (no transition this time) with a sentence about how the real issue this week is Luck.

(Edit: Oops, stopped at an ad so thought he was done. His closing comment:

The Colts should give this game the best they’ve got, not because it’s the Patriots but because it’s the next game on the schedule, and the next game is always the most important game. Besides, only a scared team would sit a healthy quarterback.

Only a scared team would cheat, too.

Let’s not be scared around here, OK? Let’s not be anything like the franchise coming to town on Sunday.

Seakelp.

Ive read that doyel has mental issues, if that the case he shouldn't be writing opinion pieces to troll other teams fan bases. He should be concentrating on getting his issues resolved as best he can. I have no sympathy for him.

 

[Patriot Missile]

To the above poster. I almost laughed when he claimed the Patriots cheated the team in his city.

My memory must be going bye bye but didn't the Pats score 28 points in the 2nd half with Kensils new balls?

They should feel cheated by their owner and gm for putting such a porous defense on the field.

He writes for cow tippers.

They won't let facts get in the way.

 

[Rob0729]

Somewhere there was a column, but I couldn't find it; the twitter feed will have to do.

I didn't even look at the original tweet to Doyel and didn't notice until Michael Hurley just point it out on the radio. This is clearly a picture of a tire punctured by hitting a curb. I didn't even notice the yellow paint at first. Maybe the curb is a rabid Pats fan.

 

[Tony2046]

Somewhere I recall seeing that his whole 'Pats fans slashed my tire' line was exposed as a huge lie.

Photos of the tire - that Doyel himself published - showed paint on the sidewalls.

In other words Doyel drove recklessly and hit a curb, got a flat, and then seized the opportunity to blame it on a fan of the Patriots.

Here you go.

Yeah, Gregggg, before you try to FRAME a story about your tire 'being slashed by a Patriots fan', perhaps you should be less lazy next time and actually WIPE THE YELLOW CURB PAINT OFF THE TIRE before you take the picture.

Get Help and God Bless.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

I am aware of Doyel's struggle with depression.

Alleged struggle with alleged depression.

Given that his whole existence is about being a troll to draw clicks, without independent verification I don't believe a single word he says about any mental condition. He's such a slimeball that lying about his mental status to draw sympathy and/or clicks would be completely in character for him.
