re: Underhill and NOF are bit shady (Penning Situation)

All after he left nola for New England and his wife ran her mouth about the southern people of this state being racists.

People like that are the absolute worst.

Most people are missing the point of the thread.
It’s not opinion on whether or not Penning should be benched.
It’s calling out Underhill for being paid PR for the saints. It’s been this way for 2 years now. There’s a reason he has the most access and sources.

NOF is state media

The way he went after some Saints fan on Twitter for “stealing without acknowledging” his video clip a game or two ago was the icing on the cake. Underhill was cool when he was more worried about just being a good reporter and being passionate about the Saints and wanting to do this own thing against the other local papers. But the blow hards on Twitter have inflated his ego and he’s way more concerned about his brand than anything else. It’s sickening to see what he’s turned into

all of this.

Underhill recently has done the following:

-flexed on TJ about commenting on a video his team got without "giving credit"
-flexed on saints fans critizing him for going after tj by saying they were "fricking idiots"
-went on mayo's podcast and flexed how much money he is making off his website that he has a finger print scanner on his shoe closet and has over 400 pairs of shoes
-more concerned about getting an NOF branded beer and additional clout for his company than his company performing what they were created to do
-is clearly presenting propaganda to keep his buddy buddy status with saints personnel instead of being an independent source of information

I liked underhill a lot during his first stint and especially when he said he missed nola so much he was going to start his own company. His reporting was genuine and he was a much needed presence in the saints media. Now, his ego has been insanely inflated by the success of his company and he isn't trying to hide it anymore.

It would be funny if they bench Penning after 5 starts after giving Peat and Ruiz a leash of years of shite play

---

Yea. Funny in the sort of way it makes you want to get a piencel and gouge out your eyes.

I'm hoping this is just speculation to get clicks or something. Makes no sense at all to me.

I remember when Underhill was looking for an intern camera/video man and he posted the notice only for Xavier University students. What's wrong with UNO, Tulane, or Loyola students?
That and saying Gruden was a horrible human being and he didn't want to see his face at Saints camp everyday turned me off on the guy.
I wouldn't pay 1 cent a month for his garbage.

---

I don't pay enough attention to him to have known that but Wow and no I don't pay anything to watch his stuff on youtube. The chick on there with him is the main attraction anyway.

quote:

---

In other words, Underhill isn't allowed to change his mind about a certain player after several weeks of regular season play?

---

Or in other other words, Underhill is your typical reporter emboldened to an organization and running propaganda for them by their directives. This is the state of the press nowadays, and it's pathetic. OP is correct: this reeks of journalistic conspiracy.

What’s this about? I follow him on Twitter but haven’t seen most of the stuff being mentioned in this thread.

Guy TJ posted a benign interview video of Alvin Kamara after the game that evidently Brooke Kirchofer took and TJ did not give NOF credit and Nick basically tried to just totally embarrass the guy by publicly going at him on Twitter for stealing the video
