BSJ Live Q&A: Conor Ryan on Bruins/Hurricanes and NHL Playoffs, Thursday at 8 p.m. | Boston Sports Journal

I continue to be amazed how common mistakes are in The Athletic

Today they said that the turnover that lead to the Kuraly goal was from "Grant McKegg", who not only doesn't exist, but it was actually Brock McGinn. Best part is, the comment section pointed that out, he responded and said "good catch" and it still never got fixed

I'm not saying I'm perfect but come on... that site is a mess

Not sure I am going to re-up my subscription when it ends. There's plenty of content just as "in-depth" (if not more) for free, and probably less mistakes too. There's really nothing groundbreaking on there anyways

Jerry Seinfeld was Nostradamas regarding comedy and satire’s future.

OT:

Not a basketball fan (not since the 80s, anyway).

Jackie MacMullen is one of the best even so,

Jackie MacMullan Is the Great Chronicler of Basketball’s Golden Age

That’s a reversal. Lately it’s writers leaving established publications for the Athletic gold.

Anyway I’m glad he’s heading to the Globe. He’s got big shoes to fill if he’s taking Nick Cafardo’s slot. Or maybe Peter Abraham already has.

With women entering the commentary world of men sports I would say Dottie Pepper during Golf tournaments has been the best so far.

agreed. Her and Doris Burke are the only ones I can stomach.

The rest cant get a sentence out without tripping over their words, or give analysis as deep as a puddle and scream "token"

Well some of them have been put in a spot they should have not been in to begin with

Peter has taken over Nick's role

Just listened to Adam Jones driving home from a graduation and it took all my will to not drive into a telephone pole.

First time I tried listening to him. I don’t know how some do

Isn’t he the one who took over when Damon Amendolaria (?) left? If it’s who I’m thinking of, yes, he is awful

 

[smithformeragent]

As imperfect as NBC is at times with the broadcast, f*** ESPN getting in on reacquiring NHL broadcast rights.

This is embarrassing.

Clowns on EEI making controversy over the fact that Cassidy sat Z.

f*** off.

Sergio Dipp says hello, and yes, he's having the time...of...his...life!!!

 

[Highatop308]

I could have sworn I read on here like a month ago that Adam Jones was leaving and going to Philly...Is that still a thing?

 

[KnightofBoston]

Is ANYONE talking hockey right now? Good lawd.

What’s the best station to hear bruins talk these playoffs? I’d think 98.5 but they’re talking too much Celtics and huuuwhatnot. I feel like I’m missing some Canadian station

98.5 had the hockey show earlier.

It has been so frustrating through this run that even the flagship station is ignoring them for the most part.

It feels like 2013 in terms of coverage except instead of Aaron Hernandez it’s what a selfish donkey Kyrie is.

Just goes to show you how people typically think, focusing on the negative instead. Interesting sight into psychology if nothing else

Celtics drama is better radio.

Negativity sells.

With social media era, negativity and fake topics is everywhere. I haven’t heard a single guest in either of the two stations in ages. Just controversy. As bad as Dino was, at least his shows had tons of interviews. WEEI is so different now. Horrible.

 

[smithformeragent]

I caught part of a replay this morning of Dale and Keene with a guest. Sounded like the interview was from the day after the Bruins swept.

The guest claimed that Marchand would have his number retired and same for Pastrnak if he sticks around for 15 years.

It’ll be interesting how this core if viewed ten or so years down the road if they end up winning it all this year.

i wonder how many of those writers don't have an editor. someone like lebrun (who comes off as a massive egomaniac)
probably has the green light to post whatever he writes without anyone reviewing it. and you can tell as he is sloppy with
his writing. the more annoying thing about the athletic is the constant ballwashing of their colleagues. seems like half
of their job is to talk about how fantastic "writer x" is and to "read his/her article now!"

during the season, it seemed like when someone asked if a writer was at the game, the response was "nah, i'm off tonight".

Could not agree more with the backwashing part. For some reason a lot of them act like they’re doing some great service to the people when they’re just writing
