Is there a possible way to get this guy fired? It is absolutely ridiculous that this guy is the writer that most of the common fans have to read. Article after article, this guy keeps getting worse. I would post a link, but I don't even want to begin to promote clicks for the bullshite that he wrote today.

It's so obvious he has some personal vengeance against the organization or someone slept with his wife or something. Hopefully the word keeps spreading that the Advocate actually has some really good writers covering the Pels. Just a shame that The Times Picayune has gone to absolute shite.

He's trolling for clicks. It's a pretty pathetic way to go about doing your job but it's the path he's chosen and he's ruined his credibility in the process.

Can you elaborate a little?

Totally agree, however, this thread probably gave them another 10-15 clicks just to see what you are referring to.

Is this the same Jimmy Smith that covers LSU football recruiting?

No, but how unfortunate for that young kid to have the same name

I could be mistaken, but I'm almost positive that is a different Jimmy Smith.

Until now, I always thought the 2 sports writers at Nola.com both named Jimmy Smith were the same person.... Learn something new every day

I don't have a ton of faith that Jrue will ever get over his injury issues. (Fingers crossed because I think he is a very good PG.) However, I understand why Dell made the deal to get him, and I think you make that deal 10 out of 10 times if you are trying to speed up the rebuild.

Jimmy Smith and Fletch have zero cognitive skills when it comes to the NBA. They are both shooting from the hip with no realistic alternative solutions ever presented. Other than the fact that it would be GREAT for the Pels this year if Jrue is healthy and successful, the next best consequence reason would be to shut those two dorks up.

they are both ingrained with the NFL team-building mindset and can't get past it
