News Article: Apparently we have the dirtiest player in history according to Adrian Dater

[Jason Lewis]

Dater, Staaaahp.

Call it a hunch. A sneaking suspicion maybe. But I think Adrian Dater, the Denver Post reporter for the Avs, doesn't like new Kings defenseman Brayden McNabb.

How do I know this?

Well...Dater's tweet from last night is a good bit to start with...

Wow.

THAT guy is a writer for a major newspaper?!

Anyway, he finally apologized. But as you can see from this Tweadâ„¢, people following this drama don't think it's quite from his heart:

Hope he gets fired. Reading the Avs board, what few people have commented about it hopes he gets fired too.

 

[reset]

wow did that epitomize true professionalism or what?

really embarrassing

 

[KHenry14]

I can't imagine his bosses would be very happy with him today. It's one thing to call out McNabb for a hit that happened 3 yrs ago, it is another to cuss out people who called you on it.

And I thought this thread was going to be about Brown.

We've stepped up in the world. We have MULTIPLE dirty players.


1. Brown
2. McNabb
3. Stoll










4. The rest of the league

 

[Martyros]

I don't think there is a single person who likes Dater.

Maybe Joe Namath.

Jason's article is spot on. Totally undermines Dater and the Denver Post's credibility when stuff like this gets published. It'd be one thing if Dater was a blogger, but the fact that he represents a reputable news organization that is supposedly objective is damning.

 

[Reclamation Project]

I like 'em dirty.

 

[Quattro]

Twead?

Twead?

Tweet + Thread

I know, lame attempt but I TMd it anyway just in case it takes off.

There is a team that hates Nolan (Nucks??) for running someone some time ago.

This clown would have pooped his pants if he had been a reporter in the 60's and 70's. There is no one playing hockey now that even comes close to the top 100 dirty players. If he thinks that was dirty he should watch footage from the past.

Coyotes don't like Nolan either after Nolan caught Klesla with his head down in preseason year before last.

 

[Little Psycho]

How does this clown still have a job?

Love to know what Dater would have thought of this (at 1:18 and onward) :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPbN72u4hxs

I'm not defending McNabb, that hit was awful, but it happened three years ago as a junior. He was a teenager at the time. Can't give any chance to the fact McNabb has matured and grown since then? We've heard a lot of scouting reports from Buffalo fans on McNabb, I haven't hear anyone say he was dirty.

Dater is straight up Clown Shoes. /thread.

Dude, it's bad form to call your own / thread. You are supposed to let someone else do it for you.

Um, I didn't start the thread.

Um, I didn't start the thread.

Um, I'm messing with you.

Great joke. Good to know all those social media compliments I gave you went to good use.

Just killing time here, man. Didn't mean anything negative by it.

Meanwhile, I've been checking potential news stories regarding this ass clown. Seems that the Denver Post is content to remain silent about the whole thing.

Likely the best thing for now. If it doesn't blow over in a few days, they'll comment. I'm not sure how big hockey is in Denver, but I assume since it's preseason and Payton manning just threw his 500th touchdown, likely it's already been buried.
