Reiss on Brady's silence

[Brady_to_Moss]

Huh. Surprising. I didn't realize he could read.

I think he has a secretary for that

Rob Parker blocked me on twitter after me constantly calling him out...i found it hilarious he couldn't take the heat

I think o will go follow him. That way I can tweet him this:

Hey Rob, Whatsupp. I don't read or listen to you but still know you suck. Amazing, eh?

Don't we all

I am not a troll, but I did get blocked by Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN

NBC Dianna had retweeted him and I sent her a reply: I know you could care less but anyone that retweets that Mehta hack loses a follower.

Mehta like the troll he actually is, responded exactly like you'd think he would: Lol oh no whatever are we going to do!?!?! (because thats how you show someone how insignificant you find their opinion, you send them a Tweet saying how little you care) He then proceeds to troll me about my grammar.

I send him a link back that shows that while yes "couldn't care less" is in fact more pedantically correct, however "could care less" is in common enough usage that it has become an accepted American version of the original English idiom (because of the scansion of how its spoken and because of the inherent sarcasm that should be understood in making the statement)

He responds with a: Admit it, I taught you a lesson -and blocks me before I get in a response.

I fear the trouble with the Internet is not enough threat of getting punched in the nose.

I know it's not ladylike but I'll buy a beer to the first Patsfan that kicks him in the cajones. No ties. First kick, first serve.

You need to go at people sideways.

You could have said, "Thank you for accepting/approving my comment as it's intention was clearly understood (regardless of idiom/usage) because otherwise you would have refuted it. Instead you feel the need to call me out on grammar.

I sent Borges an email a few years back about something stupid he wrote (who can remember which time) and I got a reply about a word I misspelled, I wrote back something similar to what you're saying and I thanked him for the spelling lesson.

I would have been snarky and asked who he copied that reply from .

Even better ,don't feed the trolls.

I write with a Kindle which is incredibly difficult to type with and edit anything with (For example, it has a tiny, tiny editing box that is about the third the width of the available screen (why?) and so small you can't even read a full sentence of anything you've written without panning back). That and as I'm editing or changing tenses I'm pretty bad about recognizing the difference between what I've actually written and what I've got in my head).

So with the caveat that I often make embarrassing grammatical errors as evidenced above, could care less versus couldn't care less isn't exactly something I'm even remotely embarrassed about.

There are a number of articles and blogs that touch on the whole "could care less" versus "couldn't care less" debate. The following being one that best expresses my own opinions on the matter.

Mike, I have seen you make the point several times that you can't believe the commish has allowed Brady's reputation to be tarnished like this. What is your honest assessment as to why he allowed it to happen? For me, the only logical conclusion is that in order to cover up a shoddy process on the part of the NFL, he allowed a hall of famer to be thrown under the bus. It was all about making the NFL look good and not expose anything unseemly. Thoughts?

Nick, my feeling on that is that the people working under Goodell were so aggressive the night of the AFC title game, and I believe they had no knowledge of the science of footballs losing air pressure as they launched their investigation. Because of that, they created a situation that was bigger than it really was. To acknowledge that would be embarrassing, but they got so far down the road, they simply couldn't turn back. That brings me to Ted Wells' remarks that the league wouldn't want to bring down one of its star players. Consider the alternative: "You just spent $5 million of your money on my investigation and what I've found is that you completely overreacted." Hmmm, I wonder what the league would have preferred between those two.

Chris Gasper wrote a column last weekend skewering the Patriots for being untrustworthy and arrogant. I sent him the following:
Good Morning Christopher,
There is a hilarious and ironic richness in having someone from the Globe sports staff accuse another entity of "exhibiting organizational arrogance." Your hypocrisy, while amusing, is decidedly unflattering.
My name.
Shockingly, I am still awaiting a response.

Mike Reiss nails the whole stupid episode, the duma sses in the NFLNY front office didn't want to say we messed up and instead made Brady the scapegoat, I just hope to see the day the truth comes out, what a bunch of incompetent no-integrity losers.
