🏈 TDA (Touchdown Alabama) is the worst

[JoshB]

Man, these guys are bad. The click bait stuff they do is bad enough but this was embarrassing to read.



His reason for this rant? Trent Richardson spiked the football after scoring the first touchdown for the Iron last week. A play that he was flagged for and the AAF admitted afterward he shouldnt have been.

TDAlabama articles are worse than click bait. They are horribly conceived, ignorant ideas that marinate in bad writing. Whoever gave Burton an award (according to his tag line) should be spanked, even if it was a red ribbon at a 1971 field day event. He's just a horrible writer who has ill-conceived, flawed idea. And then he puts them to paper, horribly. I ruined a monitor with a red marker on one of his articles...

Other than that, good job.

It's Larry, you expect too much.

Kudos to Mike for calling him out.

This is my first time seeing something from him. I've seen plenty of Stephen M. Smith, unfortunately.

You've seen him before.

I read a little bit of it. That guy's a member on the lswho board I visit or he writes like one.

 

[JoshB]

You've seen him before.

Then he didn't leave much of an impression.

I can't say for sure you've pointed out/linked something published before, but I damn sure know you've commented on his material.

As for TDA...

I'm guessing I've pointed this out a time or two and it seems to have gone largely unnoticed.

Their "lead reporter" Stephen M. Smith has written many an article for them. He's also established a pretty strong social media following. One thing that I didn't see addressed was the date when he changed his twitter "handle (not original username) to from @StephenMSmith to @CoachingStphenMSmith.

No coaching experience, mind you.

Let's put a definition on that.

He's not on Tigerforums Tigerfans ... likely on Droppings

I saw the article online and called out Smith on the article... and he responded to me on twitter stating that he did not write the article. I told him that this person, Larry represent you and the magazine and that he should've inspected the article before it was posted. Stephen said that Larry has the right to have his opinion and I was floored by that. No way I would let anyone post crappy article bout a player without me to checking to make sure it meet the quality standard.

On top of that, his "followers' attacked me on twitter for calling them out.

Larry doesn't work for Stephen. You've got it backwards.

Yeah I did.

 

[JoshB]

Let me make sure I say this. I believe everyone should be free to express their opinion. That's the beauty of this country. My problem comes when you are making pretty baseball attacks on a player, especially a guy that seems to be a really good dude (regardless of his mistakes, for things that you simply don't like. You don't like that players spike the football in the NFL? That's cool but going as far as to attack them and say how childish and immature they are for doing it - because YOU don't like it - is beyond ridiculous and just makes you and your website seems like nothing more than a shit poster or troll on Twitter.

 

[EasyTider]

What’s a baseball attack?

 

[JoshB]

What’s a baseball attack?

It's where you throw homeplate at someone... it was supposed to say baseless but my phone hates me.

 

[planomateo]

Larry apparently believes that being a father and an Alabama fan qualifies him to dole out life advice to Trent.

Someone just have to jab at a Bama player!
