When Herbie rips you for shitty reporting, you've really fricked up.

Not Herbstreit, but Jason WHitlock apparently does not have much respect for his former co-worker, Thayer

Whitlock slams Thayers integrity

quote:

“ … When I learned Thayer Evans was involved, I just said, there’s no way I’ll read this because there’s no reason to trust this reporter on anything of any substance. If you go back and look at his track record of reporting and the consistent controversy that surrounds his reporting – he made a name for himself at the New York Times by writing these annual stories about some top high school football recruit that he would buddy up to, follow around with a tape recorder and then report what some immature 17-year-old kid said about the recruiting process. These kids tended to come from single-parent families with the mother working and busy, so there wasn’t the normal oversight and anybody with a brain could see the exploitation that was taking place. … It doesn’t surprise me there are sources in this story saying the reporting was heavy-handed and leading. I don’t want to make the whole thing about Thayer Evans, but there’s just no way to avoid it. I’ve worked with him. He’s simpleminded. He’s a hack that can’t write. This isn’t personal, I promise.


quote:

“ … Let me end by saying this and I honestly mean this without malice. It wouldn’t shock me if Thayer Evans couldn’t spell cat and I say in all seriousness.”

Regardless, it's still a link to a quote from him.

ETA: Might not be a real quote by him. Sorry, folks. They got me.

Hmm; getting mixed replies here and my paid site, too. Prolly time for Herbie to set the record straight. Personally, I don't believe he can afford to take sides in this. Tnx.

I wish I could do that. Completely speak my mind about something that I know I should keep my mouth shut about, then just use another form of social media to say "NOPE, wasn't me! Fake account!", and get off scott free
